1st
A comfortable starting hole where length off the tee is secondary to accuracy. Short-iron second to a well-bunkered green which slopes front to back and right to left....[more]
|
|
2nd
Trees on the right, hazard on the left to be avoided. Green runs at a right angle to the fairway and out of bounds at the rear penalise the long shot....[more]
|
|
3rd
A well-placed drive is required to set up the second shot to a sloping green. Anything to the right of the green will leave a difficult pitch up a steep bank. Take plenty of club for the second however, as it plays deceptively uphill....[more]
|
|
4th
The shortest hole on the course where the premium is on putting. The green is generously contoured and the unwary can walk away from an easy par with a three-putt bogey....[more]
|
|
5th
The drive needs to be just right of centre to open the green on this dogleg left. Too far right brings the hazard into play and a drive to the left is closed out by large pine trees....[more]

|
5th a
A challenge in all conditions and a fabulous 'spare' hole. The key here is to select the right club as the bunkers are well placed to collect a shot off line and distance....[more]
|
|
6th
The narrow entrance to the green makes this into a three-shotter for all but the brave. A gully and hazard on the right of the green also call for a cautious approach....[more]
|
|
7th
Recently replaced green and boprdered by the new breathtaking freshwater lake, this is one of the most challenging holes on the course. The ideal drive is to just above the large gully in front of the green, leaving 130 meters or so to the pin. Anything to the left off the tee is to be avoided....[more]
|
|
8th
A long iron shot to a well-bunkered green. Most trouble is on the right which requires a delicate pitch to the green....[more]
|
|
9th
The fairway slopes from left to right, so the tee shot needs to held up on the left side. beware a back-right pin placement....[more]
|
|
10th
A dogleg left, calling for a precise drive to set up a mid to short iron second....[more]
|
|
11th
The first of two challenging par threes on the back nine. A shot right of target will either be bunkered or leave a tricky uphill pitch....[more]
|
|
12th
A true birdie chance here. The green is quite reachable in two but trees on the right and a hazard on the left will penalise the careless driver. Be careful when the pin is back right....[more]
|
|
13th
A former par five, this hole calls for accuracy with both the drive (a fade is best) and the long second. The green is heavily bunkered and has a hazard to the left....[more]
|
|
14th
Straightforward par four along a tree lined fairway. Good birdie chance....[more]
|
|
15th
The second challenging short par 3. Winds can be tricky and although only a short uphill angle, make sure you take plently of club. Green is angled to the players right and back to front, making putting downhill an excercise in touch....[more]
|
|
16th
The last good chance for a birdie. Only a wayward drive can cause problems here. Green is driveable downwind for the long hitters. Best option is fairway wood or iron from the tee down left-hand side....[more]
|
|
17th
A former par five. The drive is tested by trees on both sides of the fairway and the second is a long shot over a dip to an uphill green. A drive to the right rough almost certainly means a bogey....[more]
|
|
18th
The secret lies with the drive. The right rough especially is heavily treed. The green is well bunkered with out of bounds at the back. Plays hard when pin is back left....[more]
