course layout

FRONT 9

HOLE 1 (par 4)

Aim down the right side of the fairway as contour of the land will bring the ball back to the centre of fairway. Green is fairly level, slopes from back left to front right.

HOLE 2 (par 4)

Aim down the left side of fairway as it slopes left to right. Play to be short of fairway bunker or big hitters can try and land beyond the bunker. Green has a lot of slope from back to front. Leave your ball below the hole to leave an uphill putt.

HOLE 3 (par 4)

The green slopes from back left to front right. Try and leave your ball below the hole for an easier putt. Avoid your approach being right of the green.

hole 4 (par 3)

Mid-iron par 3. Take enough club to clear the bunker on the left. The green slopes left to right and back to front.

hole 5 (par 5)

Fairway has a ridge running through it with a left to right feed. If you are a long hitter the ball will move off to the right. Placement of second shot is dependant on pin placement. Very tight entrance to green so laying up is an option to consider.

hole 6 (par 5)

Tight driving hole. Shape of hole runs right to left then left to right and uphill to the green. Keep ball in play, big hitters can hit the ball down to the plateau that takes the dogleg out of play.

hole 7 (par 4)

Left to right shaped hole. Favours a left to right off the tee. Start the ball at the fairway bunker with slight right movement. Green slopes from right to left so pays to keep the ball below hole if possible.

hole 8 (par 4)

Fairway slopes from right to left. Ball feeds to the rough. Difficult second shot usually blind and pays to walk up to raised fairway to get alignment for your shot. Green is sloping from back right to front left.

hole 9 (par 3)

Tight approach shot between two bunkers. Green is rounded and drops off on both sides. Accuracy is the key.

BACK 9

HOLE 10 (par 4)

Short par four. Big hitters use a 3 wood or long iron to get over the hill and the slope of the land will carry it further. Green slopes from back to front. Keep the ball below the hole if possible.

HOLE 11 (par 4)

Long par four with a ridge running down through fairway on a diagonal line. Green is guarded by bunkers and slope from back left to front right.

Hole 12 (par 5)

Fairway feeds to the middle on both sides. Second shot depends on length of drive. Laying up before fairway bunker (40m from green) is advised or longer hitters can go for it. Green slopes from back to front.

HOLE 13 (par 4)

Short dog-leg par four right to left. Bigger hitters use either an iron of fairway wood to keep the ball in play. Bunkers protect green so aim slightly left of centre to avoid the pot bunker on the right side of the green. Green is very undulated so read putt carefully.

HOLE 14 (par 3)

Very difficult green to hit due to narrow landing zone. Ball feeds towards bunkers on right side of green. If possible aim left centre of green and the slope will feed it toward the green. Green slopes back left to front right.

HOLE 15 (par 5)

Your second shot is dependent on the length of your tee shot. Laying up before the fairway bunker on left is advisable however for bigger hitters the green is reachable in two. Green slope from back right to front left.

hole 16 (par 4)

Dog-leg right to left. Second shot is to an elevated green so take a club more than what you need. Falls away to the left so aim right side of pin. Green slopes from back right to front left.

hole 17 (par 3)

Dog-leg right to left. Second shot is to an elevated green so take a club more than what you need. Falls away to the left so aim right side of pin. Green slopes from back right to front left.

hole 18 (par 4)

Left to right shaped hole. Second shot is to a very sloped green. Leaving the ball below the hole is definitely advised for an easier putt. Over shooting the green can be deadly. Slopes away severely behind the green.
