Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee A straightforward opening hole,

From The Fairway

On The Green which will tempt longer hitters to go for the green in favourable conditions. If the pin is in a back position on the small upper tier, this will challenge your iron distance control. Close bunkering either side of the putting surface will also catch wayward approaches.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee Out of bounds down the entire right side

From The Fairway will steer players to the left side of the fairway off the tee, but too far left will encounter trees and rough, potentially blocking out second shots and forcing a recovery shot.

On The Green A long green sloping front to back, narrow at the front and with close bunkering on both sides and heavy rough on the RHS of the green will put a premium on accurate approaches to make birdie.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee An accurate drive sets up a straight approach into this fairly level green.

From The Fairway Numerous trees on the RHS of the fairway are waiting to catch sliced/pushed tee shots

On The Green but conversely too far left can require the player to hit a recovery shot negotiating some overhanging pine branches.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee Playing into the prevailing easterly this hole requires a straight drive with both left and right tee shots of the tee giving difficult recovery shots into this gently sloping green. Bunkering short of the green left and right should only trouble very wayward shots, and the option remains to play low running shots up the green to access the pin

On The Green

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee A long par 5 with bunkering on the RHS waiting to catch pushed or sliced drives.

From The Fairway Longer hitters will however still favour the RHS to open up the second shot. The lake in front of the long green is the main hazard, and only long hitters in good conditions will consider going for this green in two, with a full carry across the lake required. But beware, laying up too far back can produce a difficult approach especially when the pin is in the back left position with a small landi

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee A shortish par 3 with bunkering and water on the RHS to catch short and wayward approaches with back pin positions

From The Fairway

On The Green being most difficult on a green that has some contours to challenge inaccurate tee shots. Pulled or hooked shots can also catch the bunkers and rough on LHS of the green

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee Pay close attention to the pin position here,

From The Fairway it will pay to remain underneath the hole with a deceptively sloped green. A small bunker on RHS of fairway catches a surprising number of tee shots, but too far left will leave a long approach and tangle with trees and heavy rough. Seemingly workable iron shots tending to the RHS of

On The Green the green risk catching some slopes and ending up at the bottom of a deep swale well below the green. Off the back tees a difficult hole into the prevailing wind. Par a good score.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee Large bunkers on both LHS and RHS of tee require an accurate drive into a narrow

From The Fairway

On The Green opening with a long approach into a multi tiered green with a straight shot or draw the ideal shape off the tee. Short approaches will catch a bunker on RHS or run off into swales. Front pins have a small landing area, and short approaches into back pins must contend with difficult first putts. The most difficult hole on the course for good reason.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee A sloping tiered green with hole difficulty increasing as pin

From The Fairway position moves to the smaller target areas at the back of the green. Played off the back tees with a back pin position will test all players with little room for error.

On The Green Short of the pin rather than long is generally considered better given the slopes on this green. Inaccurate approaches that hit the green near the fringes can see them funnelled away leaving tricky chip and bunker shots.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee A gentle fade off the tee will avoid the small bunker on the LHS and avoid the large pine tree 100 metres from the tee.

From The Fairway

On The Green This large upside down saucer green requires an accurate approach, with slopes and run off areas looking to take mishits off the green a long way from the pin. Par a good score.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee A straight shot or power fade will

From The Fairway avoid the bunkering off the tee with left side of fairway favoured for an approach into a large green.

On The Green A group of large pines on the RHS right will block out easy approaches to middle or back right pin positions to a tee shot placed down the RHS . The main challenge here is once you reach the putting surface with numerous slopes putting a premium on being on the correct side of the hole from the approach.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee Although this hole looks wide open from the tee,

From The Fairway tee shots down the RHS will be blocked out by large trees requiring good recovery shots to get back to the fairway. Rough narrows the fairway width near the LHS bunker as well.

On The Green Longer hitters will look for second shots to carry the bunkers 50 metres short of this green, and these bunkers narrow the landing area just short of the green appreciably. Shots over the back of, or left of the green will require difficult recovery shots to a green sloping from front to back. A large swale on the LHS of the green that captures inaccurate approaches will offer various way to attem

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee A short par 3 with bunkering left and right.

From The Fairway

On The Green A large sloping oval shaped green will produce many 3 putts for those approaches that are on the putting surface but a long way from the pin. Correct club selection here important to avoid a long first putt. Over the green is not a good position.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee A short dog leg right hole but definitely not easy.

From The Fairway Longer hitters may look to hit over the trees to cut the corner and drive the green or be in the hollows just short. A strong fade with a fairway metal is the ideal shot off the tee with two bunkers waiting to catch the hooked or pulled shot. A wide,

On The Green raised but shallow green will require a well struck approach to hold the putting surface to give a birdie opportunity. If the pin is on the LHS of the green the tree 10m short of the green means RHS of fairway is favoured off the tee.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee A straight drive or slight fade sets up the approach into this green with closely mown surfaces around the green looking to channel short and left shots down into hollows well away from the pin. The contouring of this green will mean ideal approaches stay under the hole. A small group of conifers on the LHS of fairway catches a surprising number of seemingly well hit drives forcing various recover

On The Green

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee A straight shot or slight fade will set up the opening into this green,

From The Fairway with the trees on RHS best avoided and LHS of the fairway being the preferred line into the green. An undulating fairway can require come creativity on shots into the green.

On The Green The back part of this deep green slopes away from the player requiring accurate club selection on the second shot. Any long approaches will tend be guided into a run off area over the back of the green leaving long putts/chips.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee A challenging hole, especially off the back tees with a well contoured green and bunkering waiting to catch inaccurate approaches.

From The Fairway

On The Green The favoured shot shape is high although short hitters may look to use open landing areas to funnel the ball onto the green and trust their lag putting, especially when played downwind. Par always a good score here.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee A shortish par 5 to finish and a birdie opportunity.

From The Fairway

On The Green Bunkering off the tee both left and right will catch wayward longer drives. A deep bunker front left will catch many shots. A high spinning approach is ideal to hold the green , especially with pins on the LHS. This undulating raised green sloping left to right can have a deceptive amount of break.
