Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A fairly gentle par 4. Aim your drive just right of the bunkers on the left. A water hazard is in play on the right which is full during the wet season.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This short par 4 is visually intimidating, with a narrow fairway and the Berg River on the right, which anxiously awaits a fade from the tee.
On The Green A tall pine tree and bunker guards the left of the fairway. A wise decision will be to hit an accurate iron off the tee.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A very tight driving hole with trees lining the fairway. The hole doglegs slightly to the right, you would like to favour the left-hand side of the fairway which will give you a better approach to this green.
On The Green
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green A very picturesque but gentle par 3. Be aware of the pine tree in front of the tee box and the hazards on the left and another right of the green.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee This par 4 will be testy with the wind blowing. The landing area for your drive is wider than it looks.
From The Fairway When you reach the fairway take a moment to savour the tranquillity of the Berg River meandering so close to the fairway, there are no greenside bunkers, but an accurate approach is required to this narrow elongated green.
On The Green
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee A narrow driving hole. A good drive will however be rewarded with the possibility to reach the green in two.
From The Fairway The front entrance to the green is very narrow protected by two greenside bunkers. This makes running the ball up the green fairly risky.
On The Green The back portion of this very long green is unsighted from the fairway and falls away at the back requiring accurate judgement with a back pin placement.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee The green is wide left- right but very narrow front to back and will test your skill in stopping the ball with a long iron.
From The Fairway
On The Green When the pin placement is back right, the smart shot is to play for the middle of the green left but beware the bunker which will punish you if you take too little club.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Make sure to check the pin position on the green before you tee off and plan your drive accordingly.
From The Fairway An iron off the tee to the right-hand side of the fairway will always be the smart play.
On The Green The green lies diagonally to the left and is quite narrow. A deep greenside bunker guards the front of the green.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee A tree lined par 5 has ample space for your drive. A good drive will put you in a position to reach the green in two.
From The Fairway It will however take some guts as the green is well guarded by a creek and water on the right.
On The Green The smart play is to lay up as close to the creek as possible and then attack the pin with a lofted club.
Hole 19
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 20
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 21
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 22
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 23
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 24
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 25
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 26
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 27
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.
