Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee Aim your tee shot down the left side of the fairway and your second shot to the front right of the green to leave a level or uphill putt.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A very demanding tee shot that you must keep to the right half of the fairway.
From The Fairway
On The Green This gives you a good look at the green which slopes back to front.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee Great Par 3. Aim for the left half of the green to avoid the run off to the right which would leave a tricky chip shot. Beware the prevailing wind from the north.
From The Fairway
On The Green Great Par 3. Aim for the left half of the green to avoid the run off to the right which would leave a tricky chip shot. Beware the prevailing wind from the north.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee A great risk reward tee shot. Avoid the fairway bunkers on the left to give you a chance of reaching a well guarded green in two. To avoid the trouble play as a three shot hole by laying up off the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A superb short hole. Take it on with the driver by aiming directly at the green. Or lay up with a long iron left of the fairway bunker.
On The Green Tricky two tiered green. Be on the same level as the pin to avoid a 3 putt.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Nelson’s signature hole. When the pin is front left keep short of the pin for best results.
From The Fairway
On The Green When the pin is back right, take an club extra to avoid catching the slope that guards the front of the green. Ball breaks towards the sea on this green.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Long dog leg left. Keep the tee shot left to shorten your approach into a table-top green.
From The Fairway
On The Green Avoid missing the green right as this leaves a tricky up and down to save par. The sloping green is deceptively fast from back to front.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee A short Par 4 that plays into the prevailing wind.
From The Fairway Hit your drive up the left side of the fairway to shorten your approach.
On The Green A tricky two-tiered green. Take an extra club if the pin is at the back.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Long Par 5. Chance to open the shoulders but keep to the left of the fairway to avoid the deep rough which frames the right side.
On The Green If going for the green in two, it’s better to be long than short. If laying up, the 100m mark is the best place to attack from.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Keep to the left from the tee to avoid the pond and the rolling mounds of deep rough.
From The Fairway If going for the green, make sure you can carry the mound in front of the green.
On The Green If laying up stay short of the mound. Approach shots always play longer than they look.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee Be aware of the bunkers from the tee, so a decision can be made to lay up or take them on.
From The Fairway
On The Green The wind may influence your decision. Deep green that you don’t want to miss long as it leaves a very tricky chip shot.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Great dog leg left that takes you back out to the sea.
From The Fairway Once again a decision to be made from the tee whether to lay up or take on the fairway traps.
On The Green The approach shot plays longer than it looks into the wind.
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Straight par 4 but keep to the left half of the fairway to leave a better line into a green that sits angled left to right. The approach shot plays longer than you would think into the prevailing wind.
On The Green
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee A difficult hole, particularly in a southerly. A demanding tee shot with O-B to the right and rough mounds to the left.
From The Fairway
On The Green Second shot is a mid or long iron into a small green protected by O-B on the right and a drop off to the left. Short is the best miss here.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Great par 3. Make sure you take enough club to carry the front bunkers. The rough on the right is very tricky. Long is better than short on this very demanding Par 3.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Accuracy off the tee is crucial to leave you with a clear shot to the elevated green.
From The Fairway Take at least 1 club more on approach to counter the elevation change. Also allow for the prevailing wind which you may not feel from the fairway.
On The Green Aim left half of the green to avoid slope.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee From an elevated tee this is a testing par 3.
From The Fairway
On The Green Keep your tee shot to the right half of the green to avoid the slope that funnels the ball into the left hand bunker. Keep the ball short of the pin to leave an easier putt.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A straight drive is needed here Par 3 135m to avoid the rough on the mounds guarding both sides of the fairway.
On The Green When approaching the green, keep the ball below the pin or risk a three putt as the green is deceptively fast from back to front.
