Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee Gorse right and left of this tee gives the short par four an intimidating look.
From The Fairway However, the fairway opens out at 150 yards and there is plenty of room to the right.
On The Green A pronounced diagonal ridge runs from the back of the green, dividing it into two distinct halves. Check where the flag is before deciding on your approach strategy.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee Played into the prevailing westerly wind this can be a long hole. Aim the drive to the right of the bunkers at 200 yards.
From The Fairway There is out of bounds down the right and left and anything long will drop down to the third tee area. A running shot to the right centre may be the safest option.
On The Green
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A left-to-right dog leg with out of bounds down the right, aim for the marker post around 200 yards from the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green The landing area beyond the post is relatively flat and gives a good view down the length of the green. Ridges and hollows in front give a false sense of distance.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee The Eden Estuary flanks the entire right side of this classic short par four.
From The Fairway Aim for the left side of the fairway towards the gorse in the distance for the best view of this difficult plateau green.
On The Green The putting surface slopes markedly from back right and anything above the hole will leave a tricky two putt. Severe slopes left and right make recovery from off the green a challenge.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee The green is composed of a front and back tier.
From The Fairway
On The Green The bank at the back of the green should deflect back anything played slightly long.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Drive straight over the centre of the ridge in front of the tee.
From The Fairway Right half of the fairway gives the best line in. A ridge separates the front right quarter from the rest of the green.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The fairway is flat before the ridge at around 250 yards and the right half gives a good approach.
On The Green Downwind it is possible to clear the ridge but the ground beyond is undulating and may deflect the ball into rough or gorse. The green is long and narrow, placing a premium on accuracy.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Aim for the right half of the green. Missing long or short left will mean a difficult recovery shot.
From The Fairway
On The Green Two deep bunkers either side of the slope below this high plateau green will gather shots failing to get up the bank.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Aim to the right hand side of the ridge crossing the fairway for the best line into the green.
From The Fairway
On The Green Downwind, it may be possible to get close to the putting surface. From the left, it is necessary to carry bunkers and rough. The target is flat green with no hazards beyond the three bunkers short left.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee There is a long slope from the back of this green and the best tactic might be to run one in with a long to medium iron and try to stay below the hole.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Aim for the left half of the fairway.
On The Green The approach has to clear a nest of four unpleasant bunkers and a ridge which guard the green. The target is narrow front to back and slopes from the top right side. Left half of the green is safest.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee There is a wide fairway to the right of the two visible bunkers on this hole.
From The Fairway
On The Green A flat green offers a relatively straightforward approach shot from almost anywhere on the short grass.
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee The fairway opens up to the right of the visible bunker and a downhill slope can help a drive gain a few extra yards.
From The Fairway The green sits beyond two substantial cross bunkers. Approaches should be long enough to negotiate the fairway in front of a flat circular green.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee Out of bounds right dictates that the drive should be aimed left of centre to be safe.
From The Fairway A fairway wood or long iron should stop short of the pond, leaving a short approach to the offset green. Aim to the right half of the putting surface to minimise risk.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee A big target with a narrow entrance,
From The Fairway
On The Green hit long towards the back half of the green to avoid the water front and left and the bunkers to the right.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Aim to keep right of the two fairway bunkers at 300 yards from the medal tee.
On The Green Downwind, these hazards are often in play. Going for the green in two requires a very accurate approach threaded through the mounds leading to the green. A lay up short of the bunkers at the start of the approach leaves a pitch of around 100 yards to a large green. Left centre is the safest place to aim for.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee You can go right or left of the three bunkers visible from the tee.
From The Fairway It is possible to strike the green from the left side but that requires a carry over several more bunkers. The approach should aim to stay right of the bunker that eats into the left side of the green.
On The Green
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The green can be seen only from the right side of the fairway.
On The Green The green is long and narrow. An approach dropped into the front should find the centre of the putting surface.
