Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A tough par 4 to start off your day, a drive missed to the right might end up between the trees, blocking your approach to the green.
From The Fairway If you miss the fairway to the left the strategically placed fairway bunker might gobble up your ball. If you do manage to find the fairway accuracy is key to navigate your entry to the green, where a deep greenside bunker is waiting.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A dogleg to the left par 4 where risk and reward comes strongly into play. Longer hitters will try to cut the corner over the left, leaving themselves a short pitch to the green, however out of bounds stakes lurk very close.
From The Fairway
On The Green Should you decide to take the more conservative route, a decent drive will leave you with no more than a mid to short iron to the green.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee The 1st of 4 stunning par 3’s on this layout. For most golfers the tee shot will require no more than a mid to short iron, however this large green offers many a pin placement.
From The Fairway
On The Green Beware of the dam on the right-hand side, a recently constructed new tee box provides a different angle to the green, forcing the golfer to carry the water.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Find the fairway on this par 5 and you might be one of the many players contemplating whether to go for this green in 2.
From The Fairway The fairway slopes left to right leading to many a good drive trickling into the rough on the right.
On The Green Laying up in front of the penalty area some 70m before the green allows the shorter hitter to also set up a possible birdie opportunity. An accurate approach is required into this narrow green.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee A short par 3 known to locals as “Duck Pond”.
From The Fairway Standing on the tee one would feel anything worse than par is giving up a shot to the rest of the field, however 2 well placed bunkers protect the green on the right-hand side.
On The Green The green slopes from back to front, leaving anyone going past the flag with quite a slippery putt coming back.

Hole 8

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A nice wide fairway awaits the golfer from the tee-box on the 2nd par 5 of the first nine. The longer hitter will most definitely try to reach the green in 2, however any shot releasing too far will end up in the bunker behind the green.
On The Green Two further bunkers lurk on the left and right of the green. The shorter hitter has two lay-up options available, lay up short of the dogleg leaving a longer 3rd shot into the green or lay up past the dogleg leaving a shorter pitch shot into the green.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee A very demanding par 5 to start off the back nine. Finding the fairway is imperative should you wish to have any chance of reaching this green in 2.
From The Fairway If choosing to lay up players can either lay up short of the spruit or play for the fairway past the spruit, however both options will require your full attention.
On The Green Penalty areas on both sides of this hole adds to the difficulty factor. The green is once again well protected with a bunker on the right and penalty area on the left.

From The Tee A classic risk and reward par 4. The longer hitter can attempt to hit the green but 3 greenside bunkers awaits should the player miss the target.
From The Fairway

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Depending on the tee box used for the day, this par 3 can play quite differently. The tee box on the left brings the dam immediately into play, whereas the tee box on the right makes for an easier angle into the green.
From The Fairway
On The Green A green with subtle slopes makes finding the green with your tee shot important, so make sure to miss the greenside bunker on the left.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee A wide receptive fairway awaits the player on this closing par 5, just be cautious of the grass “sloot” dividing the fairway in two.
From The Fairway Find the fairway and a narrow entrance awaits the player at the front of the green, by virtue of the pond front right and a bunker guarding the left-hand side.
On The Green Another bunker to the right-hand side of the green will punish any stray shot in that direction. The green slopes from back to front
