Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A straightforward opening hole, playing towards the picturesque Bay of Navarino. Avoid the bunker of the and you may then have a fairly easy 2nd.
From The Fairway When the weather conditions are dry, it gives the opportunity for extra roll on the normally hard green.
On The Green Any shot short and right of the green will allow for an easier up and down. Good starting hole.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A hole that runs directly along Navarino Bay with a perfect view of the town of Pylos from the tee. Straightforward hole where if you are to miss your shot, miss it short.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Avoid the fairway bunker about 80-100m short of the green at all costs and, whatever you do, do not leave your approach shot short or the ball will roll 30-40m back down the hill towards you.
On The Green Good chance to make a score, so if you avoid the two pitfalls you should leave the hole happy.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole runs parallel to Hole 3 and is therefore downhill. A quite reachable Par 5 for an experienced player.
From The Fairway Favor the right side of the fairway off the tee and avoid the big bunker short of the green with your second shot. Approach the green carefully, as when dry it is very difficult to keep it from running through the back, so allow for this extra run.
On The Green A good birdie chance, especially for an experienced golfer.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Short Par 4 with a very tricky shallow green. Keep your tee shot to the right as there is trouble lurking to the left.
From The Fairway With your second shot to a very shallow green, take a club that will clear the front bunker.
On The Green Don’t worry too much about going for the flag but also try to avoid going long. Precision is important here.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Tough Par 3 where you definitely want to avoid the bunkers short and left of the green as it is almost a certain bogey from there.
From The Fairway Approach from the right-hand side and avoid attacking the left sided hole location unless you are feeling supremely confident.
On The Green Another tough green, so walk away with a par here and you’ll be very happy. Make sure you enjoy the views over the bay from the elevated location.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Considered the toughest hole on the Bay Course and rightly so. You need to concentrate on keeping the ball in the fairway of the tee and be even more cautious with your second as trouble lurks everywhere.
From The Fairway Your problems don’t stop there, as the green is wildly undulating with deep bunkers on the right-hand side which you really need to avoid. Approach to the green is definitely from the left-hand side.
On The Green A front hole location is easiest but with anything at the back be very careful and play conservatively. Walk away with a par and you’ll be very happy.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee The shortest hole over both courses, this is just over 100m in length from the back tees.
From The Fairway As it is the highest point of the course, the wind does play its part and missing left or right will leave a difficult up and down.
On The Green However, as it is so short you really should be able to find the green and two putt for a fairly easy par.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Very enticing tee shot looking down the barrel of the hole from the high point of the tee. You can afford to leak a little to the right and the ball should return to the fairway, but not too much.
From The Fairway Second shot will generally be off a downhill lie to a small undulating green, so allow for a little extra roll. Better missing the green left than right.
On The Green Great hole to look at, but it tends to sneak up on you so take care.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Hopefully you’ll have to wait on this tee because it has the most amazing view over Navarino Bay. Sit and enjoy it but only if you have time.
From The Fairway This is a very difficult par 3 with hazards short, right and left of the very small and tough green.
On The Green Best to take one to two extra clubs and use the slope at the back to get as close to the hole as you can.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee Alright, two par 3s in a row, but once you get onto the back tee here you’ll fall in love with the hole.
From The Fairway Avoid the large left-hand bunker at all costs, especially because anything right of the hole should roll back onto the green.
On The Green Very difficult three-tier green that slopes from front to back and right to left, so take great care when putting.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Short Par 4 and again, you need to avoid the bunkers off the tee.
From The Fairway From there you should have a fairly short second shot to a small but easy green.
On The Green Don’t go long as only trouble will be waiting. Good chance for a score here.
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Short Par 5 which gives you a good birdie opportunity. Stay left off the tee and avoid the fairway bunker.
From The Fairway From there, try to stay out of the bunkers for your second shot and you should have a fairly simple approach to a very undulating green, so pick the right club.
On The Green As it is not a long hole, good players can try to reach the green in two but be careful as trouble awaits both short in the bunkers.
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole is all about the tee shot. The better player may want to take on the water off the tee.
From The Fairway From there it is a short 2nd shot to a small green with a tier running through the middle.
On The Green Any shot slightly left will roll back down onto the green so use this if you need to.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Straight away Par 5 which generally plays into the wind.
From The Fairway Avoid the left-hand side with your tee shot and keep your approach shot out of the front right greenside bunker.
On The Green This green has another tier running through the middle, so take this into account for your approach to the green.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Short Par 3 with not too much trouble either side considering its length.
From The Fairway The large green means there is always the possibility of a three putt as there are some subtle breaks to avoid. Otherwise this is a good chance for a Birdie.
On The Green Make sure you catch the view of Navarino Bay whilst enjoying this hole.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee A signature hole of the Bay Course that runs directly along Navarino Bay.
From The Fairway One of the most difficult holes on the Course due to the water lurking all the way along the right and you can’t always see the putting surface from the tee.
On The Green Favour the left hand side of the green as at least you won’t be wet. Walking off this hole with a par or even a Bogey is not a bad result.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole shares the back tee with Hole 8. Nice wide fairway to aim for and a generous green too.
From The Fairway As with most holes on The Bay Course, avoid the bunkers as they are very difficult.
On The Green The green has a tier that splits it into a front and back half. Otherwise a fairly simple finishing hole.
