Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee Finding this very wide fairway should not be too difficult. All the trouble is around the green, which is not large and can be difficult to read. Attack the flag only if you are confident of nipping the ball otherwise err on the side of landing short or on the front.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A par five hole running to the north with an intriguing green set obliquely to the line of general play.
From The Fairway Strategy for playing this hole will vary tremendously according to the power of the player and the wind conditions on the day.
On The Green One thing is certain though, more pars and birdies will be made by treating it as a genuine 3-shotter, than by succumbing to the temptation of attacking the green directly for two.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A gem. This slight dog-leg left invites a draw from the tee. Anything played to the left of centre invites a favourable bounce to shorten the journey.
From The Fairway The second shot must be played with regard for the raw bunkering beyond the green. Putts from the front of the green are invariably slower than players will read.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee The course tends to favour the long hitter and this hole presents no exception in that regard. A powerfully struck tee shot affords a much easier second shot to a green where very obviously shots will feed to the left on landing.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is heavily protected away from an opening on the front right, and any errant shot is likely to be punished.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee An unusual hole across the top of a ridge. The tee shot must be played with precision to control direction in prevailing cross winds.
From The Fairway
On The Green To miss the target left will usually end in disaster. To miss right affords some prospect of recovering for a par.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee A challenging short par four where accuracy reaps rewards. This is a ‘must hit’ fairway, because it is a really difficult green to find from the rough or fairway bunkers.
From The Fairway
On The Green The firm green will only reward a soft approach (unless headwinds prevail). Perhaps the most challenging greenside bunkering to be found anywhere on the Cape Schanck courses.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee A slice of pure links beauty, but a genuine challenge. The landing zone from the tee is framed by deceptively deep bunkers on both sides. A rear pin placement will favour running approach shots, to a green which is about 3 – 4 clubs in depth.
From The Fairway The aggressive play is to take on the left fairway bunker and kick forward off the down-slope to set up a birdie chance. In general, the left rough is not severe, and this encourages aggressive play.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Another elevated, exposed par three with the question asked about precise ball striking from the tee.
From The Fairway Three distinct pin locations on the green provide variation and challenge along with a test of putting prowess.
On The Green A shot left short, or one which finds the deep bunkers front right, will limit the opportunity for par. This firm windswept green calls for a soft approach shot.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A semi-blind tee shot which is particularly challenging for shorter hitters who play to the heavily contoured narrower section of fairway.
On The Green If hit strongly, and left of centre, the drive will leave a basic pitch to a firm yet fair green and a relatively good chance of a birdie.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee A strong drive past the fairway bunker is required to maximize run on the fairway downslope. The true links style amphitheatre around the concave green feeds approach shots towards the centre.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee This tee shot plays to a receptive plateau. The choice of club for the approach needs to be carefully considered to avoid bunkers, and out-of-bounds, on the back right.
From The Fairway Slopes favour shots hit over the front left bunkers, which are two clubs short of centre green. A wonderful, natural golf hole, where the golfer cannot help but feel a part of the landscape.
On The Green If the approach to the green is being played from a short drive, height and carry are a premium on the shot to utilise the surrounding contours.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Length appears to be the only issue at first glance. The hole is, in fact, a test of placement with birdies and pars set up by coming in from the left of the centre fairway after two shots.
On The Green Whilst the powerful hitter has the edge, the hole will also reward patient and conservative play.

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee A hole where luck can intervene. For best results, play the tee shot to the right of the pin on all occasions other than when the wind is blowing hard off the left.
From The Fairway Despite its benign appearance, the distance can be hard to judge and par is always a good score.
On The Green

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee A strong downhill par four of tremendous challenge. The drive to a wide and downward sloping fairway affords an improved angle for those who can place the shot left of centre.
From The Fairway A well-struck drive may still require quick elevation on the second shot to this section of a picturesque double-green, with slopes to the right and rear of the green affording some forgiveness.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee The drive wants to go right to avoid the penal grass, which runs the length of the left-side fairway. There is plenty of bounce and roll here for straight hitters.
From The Fairway The approach is the pivotal shot on this hole. A thoughtful shot which seeks to use the slope on the green to best advantage, will consistently yield a better result than one which blindly attacks the pin.

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee This is a wonderful driving hole. An aggressive club selection on the second shot may help to avoid the four deep bunkers that are short and left of the green.
From The Fairway Contours at back of green will usually assist a longer approach. The hole tends to ‘play long’ and will often require a different strategy depending on wind conditions.
On The Green The fairway bunkers are among the deepest on the course and must be avoided at all costs.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Wind consideration is important from sheltered tees. Tee shots which limp to the front right of the green will often feed down to the swales.
From The Fairway The most effective shot to this green is a low running draw, coming in off the right, but anything too far right sets up a perilous chip from uncertain terrain. Par is always a victory.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee The drive played to the left half of the fairway will run into an up-slope and lose distance. The right side is flatter but brings the trees into play.
From The Fairway An arrow up the middle, and then another to the deceptively narrow green, is the ultimate play.
On The Green The deep green, which is around three clubs in length, will tend to draw most approach shots towards its centre.
