Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A tough par 4 under any circumstances. Aim well left as the landing area is much larger than is perceived.
From The Fairway
On The Green If your drive is short, it will take a brave shot over the water to get on the green safely.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee This par 3 is well guarded by deep greenside bunkers.
From The Fairway Pin placement in the front can be quite tricky, as the green falls away sharply to the front left and most balls short of the green will gather there.
On The Green The safe shot is to the back of this green where it opens up considerably.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee This par 4 is much tougher than it looks. The hole plays long especially with a south-easterly wind blowing.
From The Fairway The fairway is guarded by fairway bunkers left and an obscured water hazard will catch long drives straying to the right.
On The Green The green slopes significantly from back to front and is guarded by bunkers all around and water on the right.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee After your walk up the hill take some time to enjoy the splendour of the surrounding mountains while you catch your breath.
From The Fairway In front of you lies a very scenic par5 that doglegs down the hill to the right, with water on either side of the fairway.
On The Green The smart play is to hit your second shot short of the fairway bunker. This will take out all the trouble.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee A very demanding par 3 that will cost you shots in a blink of an eye. The green is elevated and well bunkered whilst water and out of bounds also comes into play.
From The Fairway
On The Green Missing this green on either side will see you struggle to make par. The safe option on this hole is always to the middle of the green. Par on this hole is a good score.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Another testy par 4 that plays short in summer, but long in winter. The views are breath taking and on a clear day you can see Table Mountain.
From The Fairway
On The Green Your drive is to a blind plateau with out of bounds in play on the right. The elevated green is difficult to hold especially in summer with the wind from behind.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Known as the best hole on the course it is a real test of skill for any golfer.
From The Fairway The fairway is lined with pine trees on both sides with a creek that cuts across the fairway about 80m in front of the green.
On The Green The elevated tee box gives a beautiful view of what lies ahead. There are no bunkers around the green, but the green itself makes up in difficulty.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee A very scenic short par 4. Driver is definitely not the club on this hole. Your tee shot is from an elevated tee with water in play all along the left side of the fairway and rough to the right.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is well surrounded with water, and anything missed left or long will almost certainly be wet. A very undulating green makes chipping and putting a challenge.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee A very scenic and interesting hole. The hole doglegs to the left with water in play all along the left-hand side.
From The Fairway Fairway bunkers on the right catches the long drive that strays to the right. A relatively short par 5 that requires accuracy and skill and you might be rewarded with a birdie.
On The Green
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Accuracy off the tee is crucial as the water on the left comes into play off the tee and the right of the fairway is lined with pine trees.
From The Fairway A precision drive with a slight fade is required. A good drive from the long hitters will make the green reachable in two.
On The Green The two-tiered green is undulated and slopes back to front and left to right. Bunkers on each side of the green increase its need for accuracy.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee A short par 4 with out of bounds on the right of the fairway. A good straight drive will leave you with a short wedge to this hole.
From The Fairway An accurate shot is required into this green as water lurks on both sides of this narrow long green.
On The Green Make sure you have enough club with a back pin placement. The two-tiered green slopes heavily back to front.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee This is a long par 4, known as the monster, so give it all you have off the tee. Beware of water on the left side which will require a well struck accurate shot into this green.
From The Fairway The green is well guarded by three bunkers, front, left and right. With a front pin position, it might be a good idea to lay up and go in with a lofted club.
On The Green The green is fairly large with gentle undulations, sloping from left to right and back to front.
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee A short par 4 with a 90-degree dogleg to the right. Good course management is required on this hole.
From The Fairway You need to get beyond the tall pine trees on the right to have a shot to the green. Anything shorter will mean you will have to shape your second shot around the trees.
On The Green The green is narrow and long and falls away to the left in the centre. A water creek runs about 20 metres in front of the green.
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole while short requires accuracy, missing left or right of the green will leave you with a deep bunker shot or a pitch to an elevated green.
From The Fairway
On The Green Beware of plugging in the bunkers. The green slopes back to front and has some subtle undulations.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Hit your driver with a slight draw, this will leave you with a shorter shot into the green.
From The Fairway From the fairway this green appears extremely shallow but more often than not it will be difficult to stop a ball on the green with a long iron or fairway wood.
On The Green Settle for the left side of the green if the pin is struck behind the bunker on the right.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Another par 4 that requires accuracy off the tee. Anything on the left side of the fairway brings the trees into play and will see you struggle to make par.
From The Fairway The adventurous lower handicapper can hit a driver over the three bunkers on the right. This will leave you a very short chip into the green.
On The Green The green slopes from back to front and left to right with bunkers left and right. Some very interesting undulations come into play when the pin is placed back left, and you would want to keep the ball beneath the hole.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway You will need a middle to long club into a narrow upside down “L” shaped green. A deep bunker guards a back left pin and a shot to the middle of the green is thus advisable.
On The Green The green slopes back to front and left to right. Putts above the hole will be quick.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee This fairway is wide with the trees on the right in play for the longer hitters. The better golfer can take driver and aim to clear the left-hand fairway bunker with a slight fade.
From The Fairway This will place you in the left-hand side of the fairway opening up the green for your second shot. Going for the green is not for the faint hearted.
On The Green There is no room for error to the left with a greenside bunker perfectly positioned right of the green and a water hazard surrounding the front and left side of the green.
