Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A straightforward hole to start off with that runs slightly downhill towards the sea.
From The Fairway The wide fairway assists you to get over those 1st tee nerves, but beware of the two fairway bunkers, which are perfectly positioned for those long hitters.
On The Green The wide fairway assists you to get over those 1st tee nerves, but beware of the two fairway bunkers, which are perfectly positioned for those long hitters.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A fantastic dogleg left par 4. The drive is key on this hole, as you will be driving over a hump on the corner to a semi-blind fairway, which has a large bale–out area to the right.
From The Fairway The approach shot is to a long green that is well protected on both sides.
On The Green The green slopes severely from back to front.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee This long, sea–facing par 3 always presents its self as a challenge to any golfer.
From The Fairway
On The Green This small green is protected by 2 large bunkers to the right and a hump short right of the green.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee The first of the four long par 4’s that Humewood has to offer.
From The Fairway Almost 400 meters long, your drive needs to favor the left of the fairway, accurately missing the deep rough on the left and two well-placed fairway bunkers to the right.
On The Green The approach shot is to an elevated green that has a blind bunker to the right. This green is over 100 feet long, so be aware to check the pin placing.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This generously wide fairway has a well-placed fairway bunker to the right. It is a testing hole leaving you with a tricky approach shot.
On The Green This narrow and slightly elevated green is placed diagonally across the fairway, with the front of the green being on the right, and moves backwards to the left.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee This short, deceptive par 3 was, for years, regarded as the toughest par 3 on the South African Professional Tour.
From The Fairway Invariably played in a cross wind, this devil of a hole has a long, narrow and elevated green that is protected by bunkers on both sides.
On The Green Make sure that you know the exact direction of the wind as there are trees to the right of the tee and green which could lead you into false sense of security.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee This par 5 is regarded as a perfect birdie opportunity as it is easily reachable for 2 shots by the longer hitter.
From The Fairway This hole doglegs to the right with most golfers not attempting to fly the corner.
On The Green After your lay–up, one's short approach is to a large green that slopes slightly from left to right and generally runs fast from front to back.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee The stroke 1! This par 4 runs as straight as an arrow. Hit and hit again until you reach this tiny green, this seems to be the norm for this hole.
From The Fairway
On The Green Bush runs down the left hand side of the hole that comes into play off the tee and runs the entire length of the hole up to the green. Be aware of a cheeky slope that runs to the left of the green.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Turning back to the clubhouse and sea, this short par 4 is a welcome relief after the 8th hole.
From The Fairway The wide and rolling fairway has a definite links effect to it with a level lie very difficult to find. The mid-iron approach shot is to a long green guarded by two bunkers on the right.
On The Green The rather large left to the slope in the green can prove to be a challenge on both the approach shot as well as your putting.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Once a par 5, this long par 4 with its wide fairway usually plays crosswind.
From The Fairway The huge natural mounds on this fairway make the very long blind approach shot to a small green extremely difficult.
On The Green Beware of the bunker featured on the left of the green. For those who can't reach in two shots, be sure to be bold with your pitch shot as it will be played straight into the green.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee This beautiful par 5 is sea-facing and moves with a dogleg to the right. This tee shot demands accuracy.
From The Fairway The longer hitters must be careful not to drive it through the fairway. The green is reachable in two for the longer hitters and is slightly elevated and is surrounded by bush and protected by a bunker short left.
On The Green A definite birdie opportunity. The green slopes severely from back to front.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee This deceptive 'easy' par 3 can ruin your scorecard. A mid- to long-iron needs to be well struck to thread the ball between bunkers guarding the green on both sides.
From The Fairway
On The Green A slope on the left of the green will bring the ball back onto this long and narrow green.
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Ranked as one of the top 500 holes in the world, this majestic par 4 runs all of 408 meters uphill.
From The Fairway The severely sloped and undulating fairway adds to the difficulty of the hole, as well as a tough semi–blind approach shot to a tiny green behind a mound on the right.
On The Green There is a fairway bunker to the left of the green that will catch a miscued approach shot. Once you have putted out, be sure to look back towards the tee – a truly panoramic view of the bay.
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee An amazing par 3. The tee shot is an elongated green.
From The Fairway One of the fantastic features of this hole is a well-positioned pot bunker on the left of the green, but be aware of the blind bunker situated over a tiny hill to the right.
On The Green Club selection is key, as you don’t want to go long as there is a severe slope that would present you with a tough chip back to the green.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee A picturesque par 5 that demands accuracy off the tee, as the fairway is lined with bush on either side.
From The Fairway The long and narrow green is protected by bunkers on both sides and surrounded by thick bush.
On The Green It is reachable in two by the longer hitters; however, care needs to be taken! Be sure to take notice that the green slopes from back to front and has a severe slope from left to right.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This short par 4 presents you with 2 options. Firstly, the brave option for attempting to drive the green, or secondly the more conservative route of laying up for the short pitch approach shot.
On The Green But beware, this tiny green is well protected by small bunkers on either side as well as a large fairway bunker that is hiding behind a large mound that runs across the fairway.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee The turn back to the clubhouse begins with this long par 5. The tee shot usually plays crosswind and needs to avoid a blind fairway bunker on the right.
From The Fairway The second shot needs to be negotiated over a mound that runs across the fairway and the windsock behind the green would be the perfect line.
On The Green The approach shot is to a small firm green that resembles an up-turned saucer and has a small bunker feature on the left.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee The front windows of the clubhouse are the ideal line off this final tee.
From The Fairway This medium length par 4 doglegs slightly to the right and has severely sloping fairway that almost always guarantees a tricky lie for the approach shot.
On The Green The final green is possibly the largest on the course and is surrounded by bunkers on both sides.
