1st Hole
● Good opening hole.
● Drive short or aggressively between fairway bunkers. Second shot towards right-hand bunker, leaving a good access (short iron approach) to the green bunkered left front.
PRO TIP
-
2nd Hole
● Self evident hole with bunkers short and behind green not a difficult shot to generous green.
PRO TIP
-
3rd Hole
● This hole - dog leg left - needs a good drive at the marker post.
● For the longer hitters taking the tiger line over the left hand trees has its rewards, making the approach much shorter.
PRO TIP
-
4th Hole
● An interesting hole as to be in the centre of the fairways and avoiding the left bunker is ideal.
● The difficulty of this hole is the second shot over a water hazard to a green, sloping from back to front with a large tree overhanging, short right of the green. Best to be big than short.
PRO TIP
-
5th Hole
● Keeping the drive right of the fairway, avoiding the left hand bunkers and a right-hand tree, is a must as the second shot needs to be accurate to carry the bunkers in front of the green.
PRO TIP
-
6th Hole
● Best position for drive is left of the centre, leaving two options: option 1 - for the long hitter to carry over the water hazard, crossing the fairway, or option 2 - lay up in front the hazard, leaving a long shot to the green.
PRO TIP
-
7th Hole
● Straight hole slightly uphill, needing a good drive with a long second to the green, avoiding front right bunker.
PRO TIP
-
8th Hole
● Long par 3 usually playing all its length with bunkers and trees, guarding either side of a long narrow green. Middle wood or long iron required.
PRO TIP
-
9th Hole
● Good driving hole, but keep right of left-hand bunkers with out of bounds all down the left.
● Second shot fairly long played towards left centre of green with a bunker encroaching towards the front centre of the green and another at the back.
PRO TIP
-
10th Hole
● Keep ball towards left of fairway, giving a good access to the green guarded by bunkers either side.
PRO TIP
-
11th Hole
● Deceiving short hole with a dip in front of the green, giving you a false impression of its length by looking shorter than it really is and well guarded by bunkers.
● Accuracy is a must!
PRO TIP
-
12th Hole
● A good drive is needed to avoid fairway bunkers either side of the fairway.
● The green is situated slightly left with trees in the line to the green, so the second shot should be played towards the far right bunkers, leaving a shot over frontal bunkers to a raised green with another bunker at rear.
PRO TIP
-
13th Hole
● A good drive is needed here to get over a water hazard aprox. 180 yards from the tee.
● Once over and in the middle of the fairway, a demanding second shot is needed to carry the front bunkers.
PRO TIP
-
14th Hole
● Probably the hardest hole (stroke index 1) with out of bounds either side and two large bunkers either side.
● Long second shot to a long green guarded by a bunker left.
PRO TIP
-
15th Hole
● Out of bunker either side of the fairway large bunkers in centre of fairway but should be out of reach normally.
● Second shot aimed at the left centre of green avoiding large bunker right front of green. Beware of out of bounds behind green.
PRO TIP
-
16th Hole
● Easy driving hole keeping between fairway bunkers.
● Second shot played over a water hazard, running across the fairway towards a large lake on the right all the way to the green. Once near the green on fairway a reasonably easy approach.
PRO TIP
-
17th Hole
● A tantalising long par 3 with a large lake coming into play.
● One bunker at the right of the green after the lake. A really good shot is well rewarded.
PRO TIP
-
18th Hole
● A difficult finishing hole with a demanding drive over a water hazard with a large lake on the right all the way to the green.
● Once over you are left with a choice of going for the green taking the lake on, or bail out situation left of the green but will leave you with a tricky chip to get near the hole.
