Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name Mahogany Drive
From The Tee A lovely opening hole from an elevated tee with views all the away to the green. A generous fairway slopes from the left and flattens out on the right.
From The Fairway Trees guard the right with a fairway bunker to catch the longer hitters. You will be well advised to favour the left side on your approach shot as the ball tends to kick right if you land just short of the green.
On The Green A good opportunity to start your round with a solid par.
Hole 2
Hole Name Albiza
From The Tee
From The Fairway After a heart pounding climb to the elevated tee (for the walking golfers at least) one is presented with a daunting view of a narrow fairway below bordered by thick bush on the left and two large trees on the right.
On The Green A deceptively tricky hole which always makes club selection of the tee an interesting decision. The small green is well protected by bunkers, trees and slopes and a par on this risk and reward hole is never a bad result.
Hole 3
Hole Name Coral Corner
From The Tee A relatively straightforward hole requires a drive that carries the Mbekodweni River onto a wide yet rising fairway.
From The Fairway The large green has a false front which often causes approach shots to stop short and the three green side bunkers await any misdirected shots. opportunity to start your round with a solid par.
On The Green
Hole 4
Hole Name Barringtonia Pause
From The Tee A good testing short hole. The green is well protected by slopes that will cause slightly miscued shots to funnel into greenside bunkers.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green slopes from back to front and some tricky putts await depending on the hole location. Probably the unlikeliest of the Par 3s to experience that perfect fluke!
Hole 5
Hole Name Ekerbergia Place
From The Tee
From The Fairway A deceptively difficult hole if you miss the fairway as thickish rough and trees can block your approach. Longer hitters are advised to use no more than 3 Wood off the tee.
On The Green A long bunker awaits any short approach shot on the left. A flat green offers up many birdie opportunities .
Hole 6
Hole Name Mitzeeri Wood
From The Tee This hole certainly deserves it’s ranking as one of the toughest holes on the course. A drive in the fairway is a must even if a bit shorter than you would like.
From The Fairway The hole doglegs to the right with an environmentally sensitive area running down the left and difficult rough on the right. There are also trees and bushes on the right to add to your frustration.
On The Green The approach to the green is fraught with danger on the left (a lateral hazard) and a clump of trees on the right. The green is fairly innocuous but hitting it is the big test!
Hole 7
Hole Name Umdoni Jump
From The Tee A welcome relief awaits one on this hole. A simple short iron will carry the river to a huge green with no trouble left or right.
From The Fairway Short or long are both very bad. There is the task of putting either down or up a vicious slope should you choose the wrong plateau. Three putts are not uncommon here so be sure of your distance from the tee.
On The Green
Hole 8
Hole Name Ficus Cluster
From The Tee A fairly tight drive is required with the river and several large rubber trees beckoning on the left and a significant slope on the right.
From The Fairway The hole doglegs left to a flat wide fairway where a third shot or pitch is required to a flattish green.
On The Green A well placed tee-shot will often yield birdies and pars but sneaky little bunkers surround the green which can cause one or two slight problems.
Hole 9
Hole Name Protorhus Relief
From The Tee A great test to bring the outward nine to an end. A straight drive is a must with trees and thick rough bordering both sides of a reasonably narrow fairway.
From The Fairway
On The Green Many a promising score has been ruined by the steep downslope behind the small green. A flattish green will reward a well struck putt, which can then be followed up with some very welcome refreshments at the half-way house and perhaps even the pub!
Hole 10
Hole Name Milkwood Way
From The Tee
From The Fairway After some welcoming refreshments you are faced with a very interesting par 5. The fairway is flanked by the driving range on the right and the green-keeper’s shed on the left, whilst a nasty fairway bunker in the right-centre of the fairway waits to welcome a miss placed shot.
On The Green
Hole 11
Hole Name Tassel Berry View
From The Tee
From The Fairway Possibly the easiest par 4 on the course with a wide fairway and a relatively unprotected green. Anything worse than a par on this hole should be seen as a disappointment on most days.
On The Green
Hole 12
Hole Name Wild Plum Lane
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green The start of what some call the Toti “Amen Corner”. This hole can really punish errant shots and a straight drive is important as the approach is guarded by a tall casuarina tree on the left of the green and a row of trees on the right. Some difficult pin positions can cause havoc with your scoreboard.
Hole 13
Hole Name Soap Berry Fun
From The Tee One of the longest par 4’s on the coast, especially into the breeze, this slight dogleg-right will challenge any golfer.
From The Fairway The fairway is guarded by more casuarinas on both sides of the fairway and a bamboo thicket is cleverly placed on the right. It is wise to favour the left hand side off the tee but beware the out of bounds which can be deceptively easy to find!
On The Green Apart from the sheer length of this hole, the green is also extremely tricky as it has three tiers and is approximately 30m long! A par often feels like a birdie here!
Hole 14
Hole Name Hibiscus Loop
From The Tee The last hole of the “Amen Corner” but certainly not the easiest! A tight driving hole which is bordered by the river on the left and bamboos on the right favours a gentle draw off the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is exceptionally challenging to hit, with a 30 metre long “Hell Bunker” on the front-left and another more generous sand trap on the right.
Hole 15
Hole Name Kigelia Hide
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green A straight forward one-shotter to a flat green, guarded by strategically placed bunkers which are just, calling out for you to make a much needed par. Just be wary, the wind will make club selection slightly tricky!
Hole 16
Hole Name Silver Oak Edge
From The Tee White knuckle time again! A reasonably lengthy carry over the river is required on this dogleg-left par 4. Drive your ball too far right and you could join those practicing on the driving range (out of bounds!).
From The Fairway
On The Green The raised green offers no real surprises for those putting, but missing the green will challenge anyone’s short game skills. This hole deserves it’s low stroke rating when the North Easterly is blowing and many a match play game has been won or lost on this beaut of a hole!
Hole 17
Hole Name Strelitzia Turn
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green A picturesque hole where one looks straight out to sea over the green. The wind direction and speed will once again dictate the nature of this par 3, with two bunkers and a lateral water hazard lying in wait for any off-line tees shots.
Hole 18
Hole Name Amatungula Close
From The Tee The view from the tee box is panoramic and really a sight to behold. Unfortunately, this is usually soon forgotten when the time comes to line up your drive. Another risk and reward Par 5 which allows a player to take a risk by cutting the corner of the dogleg-left.
From The Fairway Out of bounds stakes all down the right and a lateral water hazard on the left make the approach shot to a slightly perched green on the edge of the lagoon a great challenge!
