1A simple tee shot to a wide fairway guarded by a bunker left, where the sole hidden problem is a hollow short left of the green reached only by long hitters.The prominent Moonah tree provides a good driving line since second shots from the right side of the fairway have a greater chance of settling on the green.The green, which is protected by deep bunkering, left and right, features three definite sections, the front half of which is at full green width and the left and right rear quarte2A challenging hole that bottlenecks at the ideal drive length where contouring causes balls to feed to the middle.Fairway bunkering right and a cavernous bunker at the front left of the green provide definition and should be avoided.Many conservative players elect to lay up short of this bunker with their second shot as it requires great accuracy to reach the front right entrance to the green Alternatively, th3The drive over a deep valley is played to a fairway sloping upward to a semi-blind green. Strong players have a definite advantage here since they can reach a flatter section of thThe second shot is played to a large, bunkerless green, where the surrounds at the right will see shots bounce toward the centre of the two-terraced green. Shots to the top terrace4A visually exciting shot over a hazard from tees which, with one notable exception, are very elevated. Judgement of distance is the challenge, particularly on windy days.It is sound strategy to take an extra club and swing conservatively to enhance control by keeping the ball low.The large green has a spine, running from opposite the centre of the left bunker into the middle of the green, which influences most putts.5The drive on this dog leg left par 5 advantages the player who hits the ball right to left. Two bunkers at the end of the fairway through the dog leg are out of range for most.The second shot is played slightly uphill. The contours feed a lone but deep bunker in the centre of the fairway which must be avoided at all costs.Again, the green is divided by a spine with a sloping left section and a flatter right section. When playing approach shots to the left section, an ‘extra club’ is advised.6The fairway is generous in width until it bottlenecks beyond the corner of the dog leg, offering the choice of driving safely to the wider portion or trying to hit beyond the corneLeft and right greenside bunkers present great difficulty due to their depth. Shots to the front terrace of the green should be aimed well left. The steep bank behind the green can7The stunning topography enhanced by magnificent coastline views makes this The National’s signature hole.Club selection is critical. Whilst the green is particularly wide, anything hit short, long or left of the green is best forgotten. The deep bunker at the rear should be avoided anWith the prevailing wind into the line of play, a quieter swing with an ‘extra club’ is recommended.8The fairway, which is obscured from the elevated tee, is of comfortable width with a helpful downslope. The wind direction will dictate the choice of club for those capable of drivThe second shot is played to an elevated green which slopes from back to front. Downhill putts demand a delicate touch on the glassy surface. Conversely, uphill putts must be well 9Three deep fairway bunkers guard the left side with the fairway beyond cambered towards a grassy hollow on the right that is not visible from the tee. Tee shots directed centre lefThe choice of club for the second shot to a significantly contoured green will be influenced by prevailing wind conditions. When the hole is cut at the back left, an ‘extra club�10A dog leg left followed by a twist to the right. From the tee, the choice is offered to play safely to the right of two large fairway bunkers to a wide fairway, or to take on the bAdditinal fairway bunkers along the right will catch wayward second shots. Thick rough and deep bunkers left and back of the green are best avoided. The huge green is shared with the 14th. The hole lengthens considerably when the pin is located in the valley between.11The blind tee shot is played over a rise to a wide fairway. Long drivers will take advantage of the downslope to set up a pitch to the green. Others will be left with a difficult sThe green is divided into three sections by two severe spines. A shot to the middle section avoids the bunkers which attract short approach shots. If you find yourself in the wrong12Big hitters may attempt to drive on or close to the green over the corner of a slight dog leg, whilst others may choose the safer option of an iron or 3 wood to the wider left sideThis hole presents a great birdie opportunity since it can be easily reached with a short iron second shot. A slightly obscured green guarded by a sandy wasteland to the right and 13This long par 3 is normally played into the prevailing breeze. Tee shots with long irons and fairway woods tend to release forward on this firm, flat green. Par can often be saved Putts from the front to back up over a deceptive rise need to be well struck whilst extreme care should be taken when putting from the rise when the hole is cut in the fast front p14The powerful golfer has the option of driving the fairway bunkers and setting up an easy pitch to the green, but its a challenging carry. The safer play is to drive to a wide fairwIn this instance, the second shot must be accurate to avoid not only the pine trees left and right of the green but also bunkers on the front left and on the back and front right. 15The ball must be struck solidly from the elevated tee as head winds often prevail. Drives short of the dog-leg corner leave blind second shots to a green with two distinct terracesBunkers at the end of the fairway and one past the tree-lined right side catch big hitters in favourable conditions. A moonah tree, dating to the last millennium, stands guard at tThe task of club selection to find the correct terrace, is exacerbated by deep bunkers front and left rear.16The tee shot is played through a deep valley to a relatively flat green against a backdrop of exquisite beauty. The funnel at the rear of the green often produces a contrary cross breeze which should be taken into account in club selection. For this reason the bunker at the back of the greenShots hit back right, and those hit to the left side and which avoid the bunkers, usually find the green from contoured banks.17A rolling par 5 with spectacular ocean views, again with an option for big tee hitters to drive across the dog leg from the elevated tee (a carry of 250 metres from the back tee) sA more conventional approach avoids the left side fairway bunkers from the tee requiring the second shot to be played short of further fairway bunkers within pitching distance of t18A true dog-leg with the tee and fairway protected by significant ridges on both sides.
