1This 369 metre straight par 4 hole (355 from the Members tee and 304 from the Ladies tee), with a generous landing area makes an ideal starting hole. A fairway bunker on the LHS, at 240 metres from the Championship tee, creates a risk for the longer hitters, as they have to try and thread their shots between it and the RHS roughThe design is for percentage play, where players should lay up short with their tee shots, on the RHS of the fairway to give a better angle into the green.2A 496 metre par 5 (468 from the Members and 431 from the Ladies tee), is a tight driving hole slightly uphill and out of a chute between the mature pines.The two fairway bunkers on the LHS at 280 metres act as a sighter and to frame the hole rather than being located for strategic reasons. It is the second shot where the difficulty begins, players have to decide to take a gamble and go for the green in two or to lay up short of the two fairway carry bunkers on the LH3This short, well bunkered, 319 metre par 4 (283 from the Members and 248 from the Ladies tee) is slightly downhill with an O-O-B. full length of the LHS, a bunker at 240 metres cenAlthough short the defence of the hole is its small and elevated green of only 14 metres front to back. There are two ways to play the tee shot, either by trying to drive the green4This par 4 hole at 358 metres (315 from the Members tee and 282 from the Ladies tee) is a slight dogleg left to a relatively narrow fairway. Lake St Andrews on the LHS starts at the beginning of the fairway runs the full length to the back of the green, therefore demanding a straight drive from the tee.A fairway bunker has been placed 260 metres from the back tee on the RHS, to give a target to aim at, but be careful not to over play your shot.5At 412 metres (384 from the Blue tee and 347 from the Red tee), this par 4 dogleg right is the second longest par 4 on the course.A fairway bunker at 235 metres on the left and a narrowing of the fairway on the right provides a very narrow opening to play through.Players need to “flirt” with the deep fairway bunker with the drive, and positioning of the tee shot should be on the LHS to have clear access to the green, as another fairway 6The first and longest par 3 on the course is 195 metres from the championship tee (180 from the Members tee and 153 from the Ladies tee) This hole is beautifully silhouetted by the mature pines at the back right and has a meandering water hazard in play down the left hand side.The large elevated green (approximately 2.5 metres above the tee) slopes right to left, making putting challenging.7This is a 493 metre par 5 (465 from the Members tee and 428 from the Ladies tee), playing slightly downhill, almost due west and perhaps offering a little relief after the challengThe water on the LHS should not affect play to any great degree, but two fairway bunkers on the LHS may come into play as the double row of mature pine trees that runs down the RHSA good tee shot to the left of centre can set up play to attack the green in two, but players have to negotiate two LHS fairway bunkers, located at 260 metres from the tee. 8This 136 metre par 3 (118 from the Members tee and 96 from the Ladies tee) is the shortest on the course and plays slightly uphill from a tee surrounded by landscaping.The tee shot is played over rough ground, with the large central bunker some 15 metres short of the putting surface creating a false sense of distance.The green area is a healthy size of 554 sq metres, with a variety of subtle pin positions. The green is guarded by a greenside bunker on the left and a swale on the right.9This “straight away” 382 metre par 4 (353 from the Members tee and 322 from the Ladies tee) heads south, back to the clubhouse with wetlands on the left, which are not in play The practice fairway on the right which will be visually separated by mounding and landscaping, gives a wide open feeling, until players have to play their seconds through a ‘chuThe fairway bunker here is on the right at 270 metres and the fairway landing area is a generous 45 metres wide, offering some respite for the long hitters. 10This relatively short Par 5, at 469 metres (454 from the Members tee and 410 from the Ladies tee), is played along the western boundary from the clubhouse with O.O.B. on the LHS.This hole presents many choices and challenges. The first of two creek or ‘burn’ crossings is at around 240 metres (260 metre carry), which means players wanting to reach the gThe best approach to the green if you cannot reach it in two, is to lay up left and short of the second water crossing to enable a full wedge to the green. 11A 164 metre par 3 (151 from the Members tee and 127 from the Ladies tee) has an intimidating water carry (50 - 60 metres from the Ladies tee).A large “bail out” apron exists on the RHS of the green. The tee shot will be played into the wintery SSW wind, causing many players to come up short.There are no bunkers to this two-tiered green, which is big by the course standards at 610 square metres. Players will have to be accurate with their tee shots, as there could be m12The North West corner of the course is occupied by this short 296 metre par 4 (280 from the Members tee and 260 from the Ladies tee) with O-O-B. on the left and the landscaped bankA straight tee shot is needed as the fairway runs diagonally towards the large pine trees that frame the fairway on the RHS.Just short of the green a tongue of semi-rough protects the green. Longer hitters can go for the green, but have to negotiate the large pines on the LHS and a small pot bunker on t131415161718
