Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee Although a long Par 4, the length is eased by the downhill slope.

From The Fairway The second shot needs to be carefully approached with some fairway bunkers to clear the visual distraction of the lake behind and below the green.

On The Green

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A moderately short par 4 with the fairway rising about 10 metres. From the tee, the stronger players may be tempted to take on the fairway bunker on the right to gain a better approach shot to the green.

On The Green The safer route is to go down the middle. The green is heavily guarded with some elaborate mounding.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee This is the longest par 3 on the course. Good club selection is vital here as attempts to overstretch on the tee shot are likely to end up in one of the several bunkers around the green. Balls landing short may also be trapped in sand or grassy hollows.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee Moving on to the 13th tee, the golfers pass more of the bougainvillea edging the residential areas. The tee shot needs to be a good long drive to make any chance of birdie with the added challenge of avoiding water to the left and right.

From The Fairway The golfers will notice the transformation of landscape theme to more of the mango variety in this region. With a sharp dogleg to the right, the green approach shot will need plenty of thought.

On The Green

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee This hole is dominated by a spectacular banyan tree to the left of the green. The best approach is from the right providing the golfer can negotiate the fairway bunker.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee With the club house in the background, the player will be sensing the end of his round approaching.

From The Fairway The fairway rises in elevation with distinctive landscaping to the right and substantial mounding to the left.

On The Green The ideal tee shot is prO-Bably slightly left of centre to gain the best avenue to the green.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee From the tee, the golfer is faced with a distinct choice. The brave can elect to aim left and carry the water thereby reducing the distance to the green.

From The Fairway The alternative of playing right for safety is available but with the extra difficulty of making it to the green in three shots.

On The Green The second shot will also require care to negotiate fairway bunkers short of the green.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee A very picturesque hole. The green sits behind a palm lined lake in a small valley with the club house in the distance. As with most of the greens, various levels of difficulty can be set depending on placement of the flag.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee A challenging par 4 to finish and give the player something to relish afterwards. From the tee, the golfer needs to consider negotiating around a large tree to the left of the landing zone.

From The Fairway

On The Green The final approach shot to the green will be well rewarded by accuracy and good judgement of distance.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The wide but rising fairway is cut into the hill with 2-3 metre mounding remaining on the sides in the rough. As a reasonable length par 5, it allows the golfer a good introduction to the course presenting a welcoming feel.

On The Green With a final dogleg to the right, the green is guarded by a large bunker on the right and smaller ones on the left. Being close to the highest part of the course, golfers will be able to catch tantalising glimpses of other parts of the course to anticipate their prospects.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee This downhill par 4 with a dogleg to the left is also nestled into the hill with mounding to the sides.

From The Fairway Those golfers wishing to cut the dogleg short, will need to be wary of the fairway bunker on the left.

On The Green The prudent player will use a controlled shot into the green with the downhill approach.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This par 3 with tees elevated above the fairway and green may be somewhat deceptive to some players.

On The Green Accurate judgement of distance is the key to playing this hole successfully. Large bunker systems on the right of the green are the main hazards.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The 4th hole provides a real opportunity for better players to gain a birdie providing they can successfully carry water to the right side of the fairway.

On The Green The reward for taking this higher risk tee shot is a relatively easier route onto the green.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee This par 3 is a very scenic hole with water along the right. The tree on the island in the lake is particularly enchanting.

From The Fairway

On The Green Besides water round a large part of the green, several bunkers will catch off target shots.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A long par 5 with the fairway rising about 12 metres from tee to green. While the tee shot is fairly straightforward at first glance, thought needs to be given as to how to set up the second and approach shots.

On The Green Good placement will gain a distinct advantage when going for the green which is heavily bunkered on three sides.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee The tees are nestled against the lake, but water should not be a major factor except for the most wayward tee shots.

From The Fairway Aiming towards the right side of the fairway is likely to allow the better approach shot into the green which is protected by bunkers on the left side.

On The Green

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee Not a particularly long par 4, but the fairway has a sharp dogleg to the right. From the tee, the golfer should consider his options carefully.

From The Fairway The fairway bunkers on this hole may be very much in play for most players and demand attention to accuracy.
