1This hole is an absolute brute. The hole is just about straight so aim for the centre of the ridge and avoid the quarry on the left at all costs.If your drive does not make the top of the ridge, and you cannot see the green don’t worry, it is still a long way and there is no trouble between you and the green. 2The elevated tee makes this an inviting tee shot but be careful it is easy to lose this one to the right.Unless you feel comfortable with the second shot over the waste area rather lay up short. The approach is to a steeply elevated green so one more club may be necessary.During construction many snakes were captured on this hole and relocated to the Koeberg Nature Reserve.3The green is exceptionally long so pay careful attention to the pin placement.Although from the tee it appears as if there is no fairway, there is a generous bail out area on the left of the green which will leave an uphill chip.4Accuracy is more important than length so try and keep it in the fairway. The wind is deceptive and is more across than into you in summer so make a generous allowance.The green is relatively small but open in the front, so a low running pitch normally produces a good result.5A long iron or 3 wood will be adequate off this tee.In summer the wind should be off the right so aim down the right centre.The green has no bunkers but slopes steeply from back to front so try and keep your approach below the hole.6This fairway is wide open and with a tail wind and a good drive you could get up, or close for 2.The second shot is blind so take a good look from the tee to note the green and pin position. There is no trouble between you and the green so you can go for it with your second.7This tee shot calls for the driver or 3 wood depending on the wind. If its following then use the 3 wood and avoid the fairway bunkers on the right.They are deep and you will do well to escape with a bogey. The green is semi-blind but generous and the approach is free of hazards.8The shortest of the par 3s but strong crosswinds can lead to dropped shots when the pin is on the left hand side of the green.The right hand side of the green is shaped like a punchbowl which collects the ball so if there is no wind and the pin is on the right it is definitely birdie time. Club selection 9A nice wide fairway again so you can use the driver off the tee.The quarry is to the left of the fairway but doesn’t present the same problems as it does for #10. In fact if you miss this fairway left is not a bad line for your approach.Ideally you want to play your second to this green from the plateau in the middle of the fairway past the bunker. There is a deep grass swale to the right of the green and getting 10The fairway slopes from right to left, so aim the tee shot as close to the cartpath along the course as you dare.The second shot must be played short of the neck, which will leave you a pitch to this long green.Only the very brave should go for green in two. Take note of the big Milkwood tree on the left hand side of the fairway about 100m short of the green. The Milkwood is a protected s11The safe shot is to take the tee shot down the right centre of this dogleg left.The fairway is generous and slopes from left to right and from the right hand side of the fairway you will have a mid-iron over the waste bunker to a big green.Alternatively if you cut the corner with a big drive a short iron will get you on. The hole plays one club longer than you think.12This is a tight fairway and if the wind is helping, a long iron or 3 wood is a good choice off the tee.The fairway slopes from left to right so aim your tee shot down the fence line on the left, leaving a mid to short iron to a small green.13This is a blind tee shot so you must trust your swing. If it is a clear day aim for Lions Head to the right of the cable station on top of the mountain.If not, the courses’ fairway mound indicates the left of the fairway so any shot right of the mound will be OK. Play your second to the left of the fairway bunker, leaving a short iron in. If you are level with the bunker, the third shot is steeply uphill so take one more club than you think14Do not let the view distract you there is work to be done. Depending on the pin position you can draw it in from the right or fade it in from the left. You can use the slope behind the green to feed the ball back to the hole.15A long straight drive is a necessity on this slight dogleg right.A good drive will leave you with a mid to long iron over the waste area. If you are in any doubt about carrying the waste with your second, lay up, or play out to the right and chi16Pin position and wind factors make golf club selection all important on this short Par 3. Beware, the green falls off behind the mound on the left to a lake hazard that will punish17If the tee is up and the wind is helping you can take on the bunker. Under any other conditions play to the left or right of the bunker and take your chances.The low fairway to the left of the course is relatively wide however the next shot is blind and must contend with the bunkers to the left of the green.The fairway to the right of the bunker is higher and the entrance to the green is visible and open. If the hole is playing down wind take one less club, pitch it short of the green18Off the tee this is your best birdie opportunity.A long iron or a 3 wood over the middle bunker will put you in a good position if the right hand pin placement requires a pitch over a bunker to the narrow portion of the green.
