From The Tee This is a very short Par 4. The left side of the fairway is out of bounds. Straight or slightly right will be rewarded. The sensible play is to use a rescue or iron off the tee.
From The Tee This hole usually plays into the wind and hence earns its stroke 2 rating. To reach the green you need a long drive – keep right to avoid the trees on the left.
From The Fairway
On The Green Long hitters should rather play a 3 wood off the tee if there is no wind, as a river runs across the fairway at about 160 meters to the green.
From The Tee Tricky Par 3 especially into the South Easterly wind. The pin always looks closer than it actually is. Well bunkered with trouble on the left and back and a wayward slice may go out of bounds.
From The Tee This easy hole completes the first nine. An accurate drive leaves about 100 meters to the pin.
From The Fairway Long hitters are advised to use a 3 wood. The driving range on the right is out of bounds and the river running along the right of the fairway crosses in front of the green, so don’t be short.
From The Tee Another straight drive will leave you a reasonable shot to a well contoured green. A hooked second may find a river running along the left side of the green.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is protected by bunkers on the left and right. This is a difficult, undulating green, so do not be sorry if you are short for your second.
On The Green Short and relatively easy Par 4, especially down wind. Short hitters stay right. The green slopes from back to front, so check the pin position.
From The Tee Straight forward Par 5. There is a long waste bunker on the left of the fairway.
From The Fairway Fairway bunkers about 100 meters from the green often catch a misplaced second shot. This is a very wide and short, front to back, green.
On The Green A bunker protects the green and if you play it too long, there is water at the back.
From The Tee A signature Par 3 – especially into the prevailing wind.
From The Fairway
On The Green An average golfer could use a 5 iron on a windless day and a driver with a blustery South Easter! Water from tee to green. Short hitters favour the right and rely on a chip and putt. Take 1 point and run!!
From The Tee Strand’s signature hole deserves its stroke 1 rating as this is a true “3 shot” Par 5.
From The Fairway A drive of any length needs to be straight. Beware the dam on the right of the fairway and in front of the green. A short drive will require a 3 wood to about 120 meters from the green
On The Green The green slopes down towards the water so don’t be short. This green has slope and pace, so once on it, pay attention!
