Hole 1

Hole Name Manuka

From The Tee This hole is a relatively simple Par 3, but is surrounded by hazards. Out of bounds run up the right hand side, and a lake flanks the left.

From The Fairway

On The Green Hit too long and you will also find yourself out of bounds. A slope down to the right of the green can help with a kick onto the green.

Hole 2

Hole Name Terrace

From The Tee Numerous elements which can lead to real prO-Blems are present.

From The Fairway Trees to the left, boundary fence to the right, and a sparkling stream means accuracy is required with every shot.

On The Green There is also a small gully further up that can make for a difficult approach to the green.

Hole 3

Hole Name Pines

From The Tee As per hole 2, trees to the left and the boundary fence to the right await errant shots. There is not a lot of margin for error off the tee.

From The Fairway The fairway opens up once off the tee, yet large trees surrounding the green can cause prO-Blems on the approach.

On The Green Don't be fooled by the green - it is not as flat as it looks.

Hole 4

Hole Name Summit

From The Tee

From The Fairway A solid tee shot to the left side of the fairway allows for an easier second shot into a long narrow green. Stray right, however, and there are numerous trees to contend with.

On The Green Approaching the green can be tricky. To the left is a large bank that slopes down to the green. Beware of danger to the right of the putting surface, with another slope that is quick to kick your ball out of bounds.

Hole 5

Hole Name Elbow

From The Tee A gentle fade is ideal here to set up an easy shot into the green. Hitting too straight off the tee can land you in trees, and big hitters also need to beware as hitting too long and straight can land you in the hazard.

Hole 8

Hole Name Horizon

From The Tee

From The Fairway The fairway slopes up steeply at the beginning, so it's important to get height off the tee.

On The Green Approaching the green shouldn't cause too many prO-Blems, yet, as per Hole 7, it's best not to be too long. Trees and a sharp down-slope here can ruin the hole.

Hole 9

Hole Name Creek

From The Tee The narrow chute off the tee makes for a demanding end to the front nine.

From The Fairway

Hole 10

Hole Name Westward Ho

From The Tee With solid, big shots there is potential to be on or near the green here for two.

On The Green Two bunkers guarding the green and a hazard to the left can cause prO-Blems if approach shots stray.

On The Green

Hole 15

Hole Name Shotover

From The Tee
