This par 5 starts with trouble off to the right side for your drive. Green guarded by four bunkers which need to be avoided if you are to get off to good start.

You cannot see the green standing on the tee, but a valley in the mountains in the distance is your line. The green drops away to the river over the back with out of bounds fence, so dont be long for your second.

A very tight driving hole, which opens up a bit from the right hand side. The hole dog legs to the left at about 150 metres out. A tricky green which slopes from left to right. Try to avoid the green side bunker.

A great par 3 with two deep bunkers left and right. Aim for the right centre of the green to use to slope at the front of the green to bring you back to the middle and avoid the left trap.

A big dog leg left where only the brave would hit a driver. Out of bounds fence all the way down the right, so your drive needs to be kept left of the big gum in the middle of the fairway.

A short par 3 with two deep bunkers to avoid. Try to find the right level for your first putt or else you could three putt.

Long straight par 4 which needs a long drive to gain access to a small green. Out of bounds very close to the back of the green so dont go long.

A long par 4 with out of bounds all down the left. No real tricks to hole, try to avoid the trap just to the right of the green.

Short par 5 which can be reached in two if you avoid the bunkers on the right off the tee. Another bunker sits about 70 metres short of the green slightly to the left of middle. Big green but you should make par on this hole.

Trouble left and right off the tee on this short par 5 with accuracy rather than length required. A deep bunker guards the right hand side of the green.

A blind tee shot which curves to the right over and down the hill. A very short hole with three bunkers left of the green and one to the right. A drive that finds the fairway will make this hole relatively simple but dont go long with your second or else you are in the river.

Short par 3 which is guarded by bunkers left and right. A big sloping green from back to front.

This is ranked the hardest hole on the course mainly due to tricked up green and sloping fairway. Try to keep your drive down the left to open up your second shot. Out of bounds down the left, sand down the right, big sloping green with tree and bunker on the right makes par a great score for this hole.

Final par 3 for the course which needs a long iron or fairway metal to reach the green. A large tricky green with one deep green side bunker on the left.

A dog leg right par 4 which requires a gentle left to right shape off the tee. Huge fairway bunker on the left which needs to be avoided off the tee. Dont go left with your second or you wont find your ball. The green is well guarded by bunkers left and right.

Longest hole on the course which goes straight up the hill. Try to keep your ball on the fairway as there are lots of sandy lies in the rough. Three good hits down the right side of the fairway and if you avoid the bunkers left and right of the green, should have you putting for birdie.

Aim for the palm trees down the right side of the fairway on this challenging par 4. With thick bush all down the left, being a little to the right is preferable as it also opens up the green for your second shot. A big sloping green from right to left means you can aim away from the bunker on the left and expect the ball to feed down the green and towards the hole.

A long straight drive aiming just to the left of the fairway bunker will give you a good look up to the green which dog legs around to the right. Only one bunker guards this big green but make sure you dont go off line as you might lose your ball in the thick rough to the left of the green.
