Hole 1

1 333 314 4 9 292 4 4

An exciting opening hole with OB right large gums left.  The ideal tee shot is down the right half of the fairway to provide the best angle into this guarded green.

 

Hole 2

2 178 169 3 11 131 3 18

The second is all in front of you, but club selection is dependent entirely on the wind.  Right of the green is a popular bunker that you want to try and avoid.

 

Hole 3

3 465 452 5 7 396 5 2

The first par 5 presents much danger.  Out of bounds right and a water hazard in front of you.  The second and third shots present no less of a challenge: water right a three tier green  mean you'll have to be precise.

 

Hole 4

4 509 473 5 3 403 5 8

One of the tightest tee shots on the course also needs to be long.  The best tee shot is in the right half of the fairway.  Two sentinel bunkers guard the front of the green.

 

Hole 5

5 359 354 4 5 293 4 10

This solid par 4 requires a fade from the tee.  Nothing but centre will do here.  This sloping green is protected on the left by a large bunker.

 

Hole 6

6 176 163 3 17 143 3 16

Choose the right club and twos are easy.  This is a narrow green guarded by a bunker on the left and thick rough right.

 

Hole 7

7 330 315 4 15 274 4 14

The tee shot looks simple.  Right is the driveway and left is tree trouble.  A good tree shot will mean birdies are possible.

 

Hole 8

Hole C'ship Men Par Stroke Ladies Par Stroke
8 413 406 4 1 391 5 12

Eight is our longest par 4.  A sweeping dogleg left with trees left and right.  This hole concludes with a shallow but extremely wide green.

 

Hole 9

9 352 324 4 13 323 4 6

Like the fifth this hole requires a fade to set up for an approach to a sloping green.

 

Hole 10

10 333 328 4 8 323 4 3

Ten may seem straight forward but OB left and large trees right, an accurate tee shot is needed.  The green is deceptively deep so take enough club to get to the flag.

 

Hole 11

Hole C'ship Men Par Stroke Ladies Par Stroke
11 365 354 4 2 341 5 15

A demanding par four, the eleventh needs an accurate tee shot up the right side of the fairway.  This will be the best angle to a tricky and long green.

 

Hole 12

Hole C'ship Men Par Stroke Ladies Par Stroke
12 472 448 5 16 388 5 11

The narrow tee shot should set you up for two more shots into this medium length par 5.  Be careful of the bunker fronting the green.  Downhill putts are faster than they might appear.

 

Hole 13

13 158 150 3 14 127 3 13

And now the fun begins.  Though this hole seems easy, it is easy to get in trouble.  The greens falls off on all sides.

 

Hole 14

14 468 450 5 10 397 5 1

A Gamblers delight.  The tee shot presents water left and trees right.  Whether you go for it or lay up, be careful of the hazard in front.  There are a few dead elephants buried in this green so be prepared for some interesting putts.

 

Hole 15

Hole C'ship Men Par Stroke Ladies Par Stroke
15 297 283 4 12 283 4 5

Short and deadly.  This tiny par 4 is frought with danger.  The lagoon and waste area on the left are matched on the right by large flora.  Making an approach to this shallow green is only fun from the fairway.

 

Hole 16

Hole C'ship Men Par Stroke Ladies Par Stroke
16 332 321 4 4 280 4 9

Sixteen is a heartbreaker.  Hit the fairway and sigh.  Left is dead and right is tree trouble.  A subtle green that needs respect is waiting at the end with trouble long and left.

 

Hole 17

Hole C'ship Men Par Stroke Ladies Par Stroke
17 158 140 3 18 111 3 17

Though relatively short, the green is protected by sand and thick rough on all sides.  Be sure to take enough club to get to the green.

 

Hole 18

Hole C'ship Men Par Stroke Ladies Par Stroke
18 351 333 4 6 312 4 7

The finishing hole requires a fade to put you on the fairway.  The tight fairway is bordered by massive mature trees.  Beware on approach as bunkers lurk long and left.  Par is a good score here.
