Hole by Hole

HOLES 1 & 10 - 361 Metres Par 4 (Gents) Par 5 (Ladies)

A severe dog leg. A stiff opening hole where length and accuracy off the tee are rewarded. Anything miss hit is in trouble as there is out of bounds on the right and a stream that must be carried at 190 metres. Negotiate this and you have a clear shot to a narrow green protected by two bunkers.

 

HOLES 2 & 11 - 322 Metres Par 4

A superb driving hole. Distance is not the issue but accuracy is. The second shot is the key. The green is two-tiered, get on the wrong one and a two putt is difficult.

 

HOLES 3 & 12 - 112 Metres Par 3

Short par three to an island green. The target is much bigger than it seems from the tee. Convincing yourself of this is the problem here. A real card wrecker.

 

HOLES 4 & 13 - 434 Metres Par 5

It's on in two, but there is a lily pond to carry to the green. The drive is tight. Out of bounds on the right and trees on the left keep you honest. Many will hit an iron off the tee.

 

HOLES 5 & 14 - 156 Metres Par 3

The club depends on the breeze, three smiling bunkers to be carried to a shapely green. A good shot will be rewarded.

 

HOLES 6 & 15 - 365 Metres Par 4

A cracking driving hole with out of bounds on the right, trees, heavy rough and a quarry on the left. The green is generous and unprotected and club selection is vital.

 

HOLES 7 & 16 - 296 Metres Par 4

Driveable, but again there is water at 200 meters. The green offers its own protection, as it is elevated, quick and difficult to hold.

 

HOLES 8 & 17 - 557 Metres Par 5

The green mile - that's what it feels like. Three good shots required here. A slight dog leg with two fairway bunkers to negotiate.

 

HOLES 9 & 18 - 142 Metres Par 3

Pear shaped green, bunkers at the back, out of bounds on the left and a lake on the right. Easy !!! Especially with a gallery watching from the clubhouse decking.
