Playing Tips

1	Par 4, Length 327m All up hill. This hole plays a lot more difficult than its par and is rated accordingly. Heavy bunkerage on the left of fairway and just short of the green place emphasis on accuracy and the right choice of club. Take plenty of club for the second shot to the elevated green and to carry the bunkers.
2	Par 5, Length 489m The longest hole on the course, a definite 3 shotter. Position your tee shot over or to the left of the first bunker. Keep the second shot to the right of the fairway for an easier approach to the large green. The road way on the right is out of bounds.
3	Par 3, Length 172m Often affected by wind this hole plays deceptively long with the most trouble being the deep greenside bunkers. A long green, a shot to the centre should secure par.
4	Par 3, Length 137m A shorter par 3 with the two tiered green heavily bunkered on the right and left. This is another hole where distance is deceptive and which is considerably influenced by the wind.
5	Par 4, Length 348m A straight forward par 4 that plays longer than its yardage. Watch for the bunker on the left off the tee. Play to the right of the green to avoid the bunkers on the left. The roadway left is O.O.B.
6	Par 4, Length 318m This dogleg left has one of the toughest greens in golf - measuring 76m in length with several swales. A drive toward the fairway pots will provide a line into the green. That's when the fun begins. Forms front to back of the green there is approx 6 clubs difference. Take time to choose the right club as a long putt on this green is difficult to judge.
7	Par 3, Length 143m A very challenging but scenic short hole. Keeping your ball dry is your first concern. Positioning of your tee shot is important because of the steep undulations on the green. When putting the ball will always fall towards the water.
8	Par 5, Length 435m On of the longest holes with difficult carry off the men's tee over water and fairway bunkers. Strategy is to drive to the right side of the fairway. The second shot, if possible, is best played to the right side against the right to left slope and away from the string of pots on the left. Aim for left centre of green to avoid the deep greenside bunkerage.
9	Par 3, Length 84m Position your tee shot towards the left side of the fairway. If you want to take on the corner beware of the right hand fairway bunker. Distance for the second shot to the well bunkered green is deceptive. It's longer than it looks. Take plenty of club.
10	Par 4, Length 257m A short but demanding par 4 particularly if the pin is placed top right on the green. Direct your tee shot to the centre of the fairway avoiding the traps on the right which extend up to and protect the right of the green. Play to the left or centre of the green which is fast from right to left to save shots.
11	Par 4, Length 329m A challenging drive just to reach the fairway. Once negotiated the second shot to the uphill sloping green is deceiving and you will be wise to use an extra club. Both roadways, right and left, and the buildings on the right are out of bounds.
12	Par 4, Length 334m The driving area looks narrow from the tee but widens out after 100m. Keep left of centre to get a better view of the green. It pays to go forward to check the pin position before playing your second shot. Try to avoid a downhill putt on this treacherous green.
13	Par 4, Length 312m A straightforward hole that calls for a long straight drive to avoid the hill on the right which falls away and is heavily treed. Play the second shot to the left of the green to use the slope and keep away from the bunker on the right. Check the pin position on this long green.
14	Par 3, Length 153m A beautifully scenic hole played from an elevated tee to a three tiered green. More effected by wind than any other hole, the green can be hard to hit. Play it straight as trees on either side will gulp up any wayward balls.
15	Par 4, Length 318m Rated the most difficult hole on the course, this dogleg left with out of bounds on the right, puts maximum pressure on the tee shot for all standards of golfers. The key is to aim for the centre left of the fairway. The second shot is to a well bunkered, elevated green. Take plenty of club to hit over the bunker to the centre of the heavily undulated green.
16	Par 3, Length 144m Main trouble for this shorter hole is on the green. There is very little chance of a straight putt. Aim to the left centre and below the hole to improve your chances on this testing green.
17	Par 5, Length 455m Play this par 5 hole strategically and a birdie is well within reach. Play the first two shots left of centre to give yourself a clear third shot into the green. Even the better golfer is not advised to attack the green in two, so don't be tempted to take on the corner.
18	Par 4, Length 290m A tricky hole to finish on. Accuracy from the tee is all important. Deep trouble awaits a wayward shot to the right. A drive placed toward the left hand fairway bunker will set up a short approach to the two tiered green which is one of the smallest on the course.
