1The opening offering is a fairly gentle Par 4 measuring just under 400m from the tips, a more soothing 333m from the members tee.A dogleg from right to left, bunkers found both sides of the fairway. Should you want to take them out of play with a 3 wood or say a long iron, do so as the approach from short ofThe green lies from front left to back right and is just over 30m in length. It is a kidney bean shape and that affords several pin positions. Wherever the flag is, it’s best to 2You don't have to wait too long for the first of four Par 5's. The second is the only one on the front nine, straight and away this one, but you don't see all of it from the tee asTwo bunkers lie in wait by the right side of the fairway. The smaller of the two is first up, just over 240 meters from the back tee, the larger one is some 20 paces ahead of it. IIf not, the layup becomes difficult, because there's two bunkers that come into play down the left hand side. The green has a similar shape to the first, and has exactly the same d3The second Par four and again, not long at a tad over 400 meters. The Bushveld is to be avoided down the right side.The large bunker left won’t worry, the bigger hitters, but the pot bunker at 280 meters will. It may be small, but it's a magnet for golf balls as the third gently follows from rOnce in position ignore the flag if it’s left of centre as two deep bunkers await anything pulled. Should you miss right, you'll face quite the delicate pitch on to the green tha4Get you drive away and the approaches is just a short iron at 390 meters. There's a good birdie chance available here5The 5th the first of four wonderful par 3's and the shortest hole on the front nine at just 148 meters off the tips.However, don't be fooled by this length as the difficulty of this is entirely dependent on the location of the pin. When it's positioned on the left side the water is never far awaThe front pin could well be the hardest as a pot bunker comes into play. The pin centre right or long offers the best opportunity here for a birdie 2.6Short par 4's are one of the games joys, and the six that just 284 meters is up there with the best risk and reward holes. Should you play this as a two shotter be careful with theA deep right side bunker awaits some 50 meters short of the green. Going for it requires the straightest of shots as the putting surface is jealously guarded by sand.7There are some famous par 3's in the world. Troons postage stamp, the 17th at Sawgrass, the 7th at Pebble Beach and Augustus 12th just to name a few. Leopard Creeks 7th is stunningThe design is outstanding, a bailout area left allows you to be conservative, wherever the pin is placed this majestic shortfall will only tolerate a shot of shear quality. It can 8After two par 3's in the last three holes, the front nine finishes with two strong par 4's. The first of these the 427m 8th is virtually straight.The landing area for the tee shot varies depending on how far you hit your drive. It's generous up to the 250 mark, but past that a pot bunker sits silently by the edge of the fairIt's undulating and it's long, 39m. Anything a little left and your ball will gently cascade into Leopard Creek's Valley of Sin. Hardly surprising the 8th is Stroke Index 1. A four9And what a hole it is at 447m. When you stand on the elevated tee looking down to the valley it seems like you have the whole of Africa ahead of you.A cascading stream follows the lie of the land before tumbling into a lake that guards the green. The tee shot here is vital. Offline, and the second is almost certainly a layup. HWater short left and beyond. Sand short right and long. Again a wide green, but not deep. The 9th asks a lot of awkward questions, only your best will provide the answers.10Suitably refreshed, it's time for the back nine. It begins with a par 4 of just under 400m. A good drive should leave a mid to short iron for the approach.Again, very clever design here. The longer you hit your tee shot, the narrower the fairway becomes. If the pin is positioned on the front half of the green it's not a big target, m11Another par 4, this time only 380m but don't be fooled by that. This tee shot is not for the faint hearted as it's over a gorged and economical fairway.Huge changes in elevation from tee to green, mean that there are no flat stances for the second shot. And it's from there you're now getting a glimpse of the top half of the pen. BIt's also one of the trickiest greens on the course. Lightning fast from beyond the hole, it's best to take you four and move on.12Another delightful par 3 affording stunning vistas from the elevated and terraced tees, which nestle into the hillside.If you can take your eyes away from the distance, you'll find the green in the lowlands. It's one that shifts from front right to back left with several different levels.Club selection here is never easy and sand awaits short left and long right. I don't have the statistics, but I'm betting there has been more three putts here than anywhere else on13The 13th is everything that is beautiful in golf design, a stream runs diagonally across the fairway. Before lining the left hand side of it, and then tumbling into a pond short leIt's a generous fairway so you can open up the shoulders. But further down there's a bunker some 40m from the green that reduces the target for the second shot, which is gently dowand it's by that green, you meet with nature. The Crocodile river is just a few pieces from the back of the putting surface. Beyond that, lies the Kruger National Park and all its 14The 14th moves a fraction from right to left and the problem here is the fairway tilts from left to right which means the right hand bunker, one of the largest on the golf course, I said earlier, the 12th would have seen many three putts, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that this one rivals it. Jealously guarded by a stream at the front of the putting suIt's not deep but wide and distance control is at a premium. 324m, yet leaving here with a 4 gives you a feeling of contentment.15The first of two par 5's in the last four holes, the 15th is another masterpiece of design. It heads in the same direction as the previous hole, and covers 530m. For the long hittebut not too much, as the out of bounds wall is not far away. A generous enough layup area, but for the Cavalier player thinking of taking on the green in two, be aware, this is onlThe green is long at 34m, but that's all you have in your favour as the lake encroaches into the edge of the putting surface. Should you have second thoughts on the downswing of th16The last of the par 3's and 16 can play anything from 182 to just 149m. There's no escape here, tee, water, a brilliantly shaped green and you.This was the kingdom of a hippo affectionately named Harry by the members where he laughed on several occasions, as one ball after another splashed into the water.The far right pin position is one of golfs toughest questions, although any other pin placement, could never be classed as easy. When you finish your trip around here, ask yourself17Having left the water behind I see the 17th as a classic Bushveld hole. It meanders from left to right during its 400m journey with bush framing both sides of the fairway.Having reached the elbow of the dogleg, the green sits with its head raised just enough for you to see the putting surface.By now you will know how much the green complexes play a huge part in the examination Leopard Creek presents. The 17th continues that trend offering a multitude of pin positions, n18The intoxicating mixture of holes here is a huge part of your golfing experience and of course enjoyment. The final offering, a par 5 of 497m, has been described as majestic, elegaFrom the elevated tee you want you to drive on the fairway, preferably on the flat plateau. The island green gets smaller, the more you gaze. I've enjoyed commentating on it much mIt's a fitting conclusion to a wonderful golf course. A scratch handicap member, who shall remain nameless, has never bettered a bogey 6. Some of the game's top players have succum
