Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A fairly gentle opening hole that may only require a long iron for an advanced player. The key here is to find the flat part of the fairway to aid an accurate approach onto the green.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The first of 2 par 5's on the front 9 requires a tee shot the hugs the right-hand side of a sloping fairway. You'll then need to negotiate a small ditch that dissects the fairway before an uphill approach onto a green that slopes severely from back to front. Make sure to hit your approach onto the correct tier on the green otherwise a difficult 2 putt awaits you.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole is small but mighty. You'll need to be deadly accurate for the shortest hole on the course. Don’t be fooled into thinking this one is a gimmie.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Fire away! This is one of the most inviting tee shots on the course. The generous fairway of our 4th hole allows you to open your shoulders and go for that big drive. Once the drive is successfully negotiated, a narrow entrance into a fairly small green sits in front of you. Make your par and run to the next tee, This hole is TOUGH.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Right-handed golfers are going to require left to right fade off the tee to set up the best 2nd and 3rd shots into this Par 5. A collection of bunkers short right of the green will collect a slightly wayward approach shot but execute properly and you'll have a good look at birdie.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The raised tee of the 6th gives great views. Once on the fairway, you'll head back uphill towards the green. Filter your approach shot in from the bank on the left to bring the ball nicely onto the green. Just be sure to miss the bunker waiting for you on the front left of the green.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Another fairly short par 3. An extremely narrow green doesn’t leave much margin for error. Long is a disaster here, so correct club selection is essential.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee The long hitter may be tempted to drive the green here. Otherwise, stay clear of the large fairway bunker that sits on the left-hand side of the landing zone for most players. A relatively flat putting surface will lend itself to good scoring on this hole.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee A tricky downhill par 3 to sign off the front 9. 3 is a great score here. To give yourself the best chance, aim towards the front right of the green. From there, take your chances at a 2 putt for your par

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Signature hole time! And, once you stand on the tee, you'll see why. Keep your tee shot towards the left hand side of the fairway to be safe. Once there, take your chances at a long approach over water towards a green that slopes severely. Not many make par here so if you do, be sure to celebrate in style.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee A par 3 where depending on the pin position, you may not see the bottom of the hole. 3 is a great score here so avoid the right bunker by aiming towards the left-hand side of the green where a mound will move the ball towards the hole

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Everyone loves a driveable par 4. Bigger hitters will be disappointed not to make birdie here but trouble awaits the bad shot with bunkers scattered across the full length of the hole

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Hug the right-hand side of the fairway from the tee to set up the best angle for your approach shot. Tree limbs overhang the right-hand side of the green which means a flighted approach may produce better results. Subtle slopes in the green can make holing putts on this hole difficult.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Another par 5 that favours a left to right shot from the tee. Once on a fairly generous fairway, you'll have options of laying up or attempting the green in 2. When laying up, you'll need to avoid 2 cross bunkers that run across the full width of the fairway. It may just tempt you into that long fairway wood towards the green.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee A tee shot down the left of this hole is the shortest route to the green. A collection area short right of the green will collect longer tee shots and leave a fairly straightforward pitch up to what is the longest green on the course. With such a big green, club selection is essential

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A tricky fairway that slopes servely from right to left can make this tee shot difficult. Hitting towards the trees on the right will give you the best chance of finding the fairway. Once there, be careful with your layup. Too much club can send you into a gully 100 yards short of the green that will impair your vision for your approach. large slopes in the green mean that everyone walks off this

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Longer hitters will not require a wood here. This hole demands precision from the tee. A small shelf on the right-hand side of the fairway gives the best approach to a long and narrow green

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee One of our most photographed holes to finish. a mid-length par 3 which has numerous defenses. A large hollow sits left and a bunker right of the green waiting to catch an errant shot. No 2 putt is guaranteed on the slopey green. From the green, the 19th hole awaits!
