Par 4, Length 264m
Whilst you can blast away with a driver here the percentage play is to lay-up from the tee short of the bunkers, leaving a well judged short iron into the green. This green is very shallow and good club selection is imperative.

Par 4, Length 420m
A testing hole. Long hitters should drive down the left center of the fairway to take advantage of the downslope over the rise leaving a mid to short to a green sloping right to left. Shorter hitters should play up the right side of the fairway and rely on a chip and a putt to make par.

Par 5, Length 468m
If you are a 'Tiger' you might try and get home in two here but mortals should make this hole as a definite 'three shotter' - play conservatively from the tee and favour the right side of the fairway to lay up short of the bunkers. The second too should be played favouring the right side and be short of the two traps. This will then leave a pitch to the green and a chance of a birdie.

Par 4, Length 380m
A challenging par 4. Try to avoid the fairway bunkers up the right side and you will leave yourself with a mid to long iron into a narrow green guarded by grass mounds on the left and a swale on the right. The approach is often into a stiff sea breeze so take an extra club or two.

Par 3, Length 142m
A slight uphill tee shot to a two tiered green. It is essential to use enough club to ensure you reach the top tier when the pin has a Blue or Red showing.

Par 4, Length 379m
Rated the toughest hole on the course and into the sea breeze you will sea why! Needs a strong accurate drive to reach the top of the hill and then its a long iron or wood to a narrow, deep green which slopes from back to front. The green itself is guarded left and right by bunkers. You will be happy to make four here!

Par 5, Length 523m
A long downhill par five. Big hitters can get home in two down wind but most players will be happy to get on in 3. The drive should be aimed just left of the radio mast and the second played to avoid the fairway bunkers leaving a short iron approach to a 36 metre deep green that slopes from back to front - take plenty of club for a Red pin position.

|
Par 3, Length 178m
The signature hole which requires a shot over the water to a raised green that is guarded at the front and side by steep bunkers. Take an extra club here as the slope at the back is better than the bunkers at the front! The green is difficult to read so take a little extra care here.

|
Par 4, Length 323m
Aim your tee shot just inside the left hand bunker. This will leave an uphill second to a green guarded at the front by some of the steepest bunkers on the course. Take an extra club here to be sure of avoiding these. The green slopes from back to front and is usually very slick so ideally try and leave your approach just below the hole.
|

|
Par 4, Length 332m
The hole requires an accurate tee shot just right of center to hit this tree lined fairway which is often buffeted by crosswinds. The second is to a small well bunkered green sloping right to left. Play for the center of the green and you will not be far away - and maybe a birdie opportunity.
|

|
Par 5, Length 450m
Only the longest hitters can reach this green in two so play short of the left hand trap off the tee. A second shot at the left edge of the fairway will leave a pitch to the green. Try and leave your ball below the green as it slopes steeply from back to front with a tier in the front section that makes putting very difficult from above the hole.

|
Par 3, Length 138m
A picturesque downhill tee shot to a generous green. Not too challenging unless the wind is strong. Be sure to take enough club.
|
|

|
Par 4, Length 377m
When it is calm long hitters can reach the hidden fairway bunkers so a three wood is a good idea. Mortals should aim their drive just right of centre. The second shot is from a downhill lie so the ball tends to fly lower and to the right - aim a touch left of target and expect the ball to run a little.
|

|
Par 4, Length 252m
Whilst you can blast away with a driver the percentage play is to aim at the right hand bunker taking a club to leave you short of it. The approach is very important as the green slopes steeply from back to front with a swale in the front section - a good birdie opportunity here if the second is well judged.
|
|
15
|
Par 5, Length 472m
A sweeping dog leg par 5 that requires a drive aimed just inside the right hand bunker leaving the long hitter with a chance of getting home in two. The water is close on the right so if in doubt play short of the fairway bunker in front of the green and rely on a good pitch to setup a birdie chance.
|
|
16
|
Par 4, Length 392m
A testing hole that requires a good drive favouring the right side of the fairway. The second is slightly uphill and all carry if you are to make the green, ideally aiming just left of the pin. The club selection has to be exact as anything short will find the short will find the sand and if you are too long you will have a very fast putt back down the sloping green - a par here is always a good score.
|
|

|
Par 3, Length 176m
A lovely par three that requires a long iron for most players. Be sure to use enough club to avoid the bunkers at the front and check the wind direction before playing. The green slopes from back to front so be cautious if you are past the pin.
|

|
Par 4, Length 360m
A tough hole to finish - hit your drive up the right hand side of the fairway - a good drive will be rewarded with extra yards if it reaches the downslope over the brow. The second shot needs to be aimed to the right side of the pin and as a general rule take one more than you think, especially if the pin is back left. Then that shower and that well earned drink awaits you.
