The 1st - A short dogleg
Par 4 to the left so take care when selecting the club
for the opening shot or you will risk running out of fairway.
The drive should be directed down the right hand side
of the fairway, avoiding the bunkers on the left.
|
 |
|
| |
The 2nd - A Par 4 of around
374 meters all uphill. It is a wide open drive with just
a couple of bunkers to watch out for, but the deal drive
is up the right-hand side leaving a mid to long iron for
most golfers into the well-protected, two-tiered green. |
|
|
| |
The 3rd - It is important
that your shot is not long because a jungle of trees lies
not far off the back edge of the green. When played sensibly,
this hole offers a great birdie chance. |
|
|
| |
The 4th - The green is
very wide and even though you may have hit the green,
you may still have a 15-metre putt. Par 3 is an achievable
goal for most golfers on this hole. |
|
|
| |
The 5th - A long dogleg
uphill to the right. Water guards the right and a creek
guards the left making the drive most important. Ideally,
a shot down the right centre of fairway will give you
the best chance of reaching the green with your second
shot.
For all golfers, the second shot will be played with a
long iron or fairway wood. For high handicappers, the
best play is a drive followed by a mid iron and then a
chip on the green giving yourself a chance of par, but
a bogey on this hole is a worthy score. |
|
|
| |
The 6th - The 6th is a
mid-length Par 4 with fairway bunkers guarding the right
and rough down the left. The ideal shot is a long iron/fairway
wood to level part of the fairway to leave yourself the
easiest shot into the green. Bunkers guard the green to
the left so the ideal shot would be to play to the centre
of this green, below the hole is possible, to give yourself
the easiest putt possible. |
|
|
| |
The 7th - A long Par 4
with a fairway that drops away from you on the right towards
trees. The ideal line is down the left to let the natural
contours bring the ball back to the centre of the fairway.From
there, you have a long second shot with a mid to long
iron to the green, making sure you avoid the bunkers on
the right of the green. |
|
|
| 
|
The 8th - A great Par 3,
the 8th is surrounded by bunkers making club selection
very important. Most golfers will require a mid iron and
should choose plenty of club as most of the trouble is
in front of this smallish green. |
|
|
| |
The 9th - The 9th is guarded
by OOB and bunkers on the right, and trees down the left-hand
side making the tee shot very important.The best line
is down the left to open the hole up and give the longer
hitters a chance at the green. Most golfers should lay
up though with a mid to long iron to leave a full third
shot into this very large green. A birdie chance for most
golfers. |
|
|
| |
The 10th - A medium length
Par 4 of 369metres. It is a wide-open fairway for your
drive off the tee but there is the danger of trees on
the left, which may block your second shot to the green.
Ideally, your drive will finish left of centre leaving
you a mid to long iron for the second stroke on the green,
but beware of the large trap at short right. A par is
a good score on this hole, which will generally play long
into prevailing winds.
|
|
|
| 
|
The 11th - The right hand
side of the fairway is lined with bunkers stretching for
more than 60 metres. A very difficult driving hole and
you will risk wind pushing your ball towards the bunkers
and out of bounds. A good drive up the left will leave
a mid iron on to the large green, which is set down in
a hollow and guarded on the right by a very steep drop
off to heavy rough. |
|
|
| 
|
The 12th - Regarded as
the easiest hole on the course, the 12th will continue
to be underestimated because it is only 299 metres long.
The ideal play would be a long run/fairway wood followed
by a short iron on to the green, which has been enlarged
during the reconstruction. Be careful though, because
the green falls away at the back and balls could roll
off down the steep embankment. |
|
|
| |
The 13th - A long, straight
Par 4, with a fairway bunker on the left for long hitters
to be wary of. Care should be taken not to drift right
as the hole drops off severely towards trees, making par
very difficult.
Your second shot will look considerably shorter than you
think because bunkers short of the green have the effect
of making the green look closer. |
|
|
| |
The 14th - A long Par 4
that will play into the wind on most days, the 14th is
a very difficult driving hole with water and trees down
the lefthand side and the odd angle of the fairway working
together to make it look more difficult. The ideal line
is down the right, as the fall of the fairway will feed
the ball to the left. The second shot is generally played
with a long iron or fairway wood to a large green guarded
by bunkers on the left.
|
|
|
| 
|
The 15th - The 15th requires
a water carry of more than 100 metres to a large green
that is well guarded in the front by a large bunker, which
will probably catch a lot of players. The green is relatively
flat but very wide, so you may be faced with a long putt. |
|
|
| |
The 16th - The 16th is
a tight hole with water all the way down the left and
cross bunkers in the fairway at around the 180 metre mark.
The second shot will need a fairway wood as it is all
uphill to the green. The third shot will need to come
in high to stop as the green falls away from you. |
|
|
| |
The 17th - A long Par 3
of over 180 metres that traditionally plays into a prevailing
wind. The higher handicappers should hit a mid iron short
of the bunkers and a chip on to give them the best chance
of par while good golfers will need to make sure they
use plenty of club as the length is very deceiving. A
bogey on this hole should be regarded as a par for most
golfers. |
|
|
| |
The 18th - The final hole
is a short Par 4 which, down wind, some golfers may be
able to get close to with a well-timed drive. The ideal
play is a long iron down the right hand side of the fairway
leaving a full short iron into the large well protected
green.A bunker around 15 metres short of the green will
make the hole look shorter than it is, so think carefully
about club selection. After a short second shot, you should
have a birdie putt. |
