From The Fairway The opening hole is not nearly as benign as it looks on paper. The fairway bunker on the right is not only defense; long hitters trying to get close can easily drive through the fairway and into deep rough.
On The Green Depending on the breeze, a wise play might be to take the tee shot right to left, following the dogleg which is guarded by a lone mango tree standing at the top of the hill.
From The Tee Another seemingly easy hole can bite if care is not taken of the tee
From The Fairway A prudent shot might be a long iron or fairway wood to keep the ball in the fairway and away from the out of bounds. Those who have practiced their running approached will.
From The Tee Players that find that solitary bunker on the right will have a tough up and down, so when the pin is on the right, play a safe shot to the center of the green and walk away with the par.

On The Green Players that find that solitary bunker on the right will have a tough up and down, so when the pin is on the right, play a safe shot to the center of the green and walk away with the par.
From The Tee Wind is almost always a factor in the club selection at the Fifth hole. A real option is to lay up and hope for a good chip, especially when the pin is well back or up front. The side bunkers presents a really difficult up and down.
From The Tee You can run out of room on the left side of this split fairway and the pound guarding the green comes into play from left as well
From The Fairway The green can be hard to hold if your approach is from the rough. On the right the fairway tapers down to a very narrow neck. A fairway wood might be the best choice of the tee.
From The Tee Only the longest hitter dare fly lake off the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green The rest of us will wisely avoid the water by staying well right and learning to live with the longer approach. Remember the green is elevated when choosing your club for the second shot.
From The Fairway hough the eight is the easiest hole on the nine, you must respect both the bunker in the center of the fairway and the very deep sloping green before you walk away with your par.
From The Tee Bunkers guarded the right side. Challenge them and risk a high number.
From The Fairway
On The Green The left side is wide open and there is only one bunker guarding the side of the green. Only risk the intermediate bunker on the right on our second shot if the pin is cut in the back left portion of the green.
From The Fairway A long and precise drive in the right center of the fairway will set up the best approach to this smallish green. Stay away from the huge bunker along the left.
From The Tee Railroad ties set into the face of the deep bunker from the left can kick a short shot into the deep rough or even out of bounds, so take enough club.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green has quite a bit of movement from back to front and right to left.
From The Fairway 610 Yards 562 Yards 532 Yards 504 Yards A narrow split fairway adds to the drama of this long par five. Position is everything, but length off the tee and for the second shot is also important.
On The Green The landing area for the second shot is generous with the right side offering the best approach to a deep elevated green.
From The Tee Drive the ball straight and short of the water, which is play of the tee.
From The Fairway lmost all second shots will be from a sloping donwhill lie and it will take a well played approach with bite to stay on this tiny green, so keep it in the fairway. A great short hole that will test all your skills.
From The Tee Playing longer than the card, this uphill par three usually requires one more club than you think. Watch the wind here and be careful with distance.
From The Fairway Carrying the large fairway and staying left of the trees is the challenge here if you want a reasonable shot into the deep undulating green. Make sure you lay back from the small stream that is at the bottom of the sloping landing area.
From The Tee Avoid the bunkers at the squeeze point by hitting a strategic iron or fairway wood off the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green A short iron will follow. The green is long and narrow so keep pin position in mind. Also be wary of the grain running away. Just like the preceeding hole, a well stuck approach that lands short can run up to the pin.
From The Tee Lond is a good word to keep in mind here. Avoid the temptation to hug the left side of the fairway as most shots there will follow the slope further left and into the hazzard or at best a difficult sidehill lie.
From The Fairway The prime spot is the right center of the fairway. A fade with a long iron or fairway wood is a good shot to have in you bag if the pin is back right.running away. Just like the preceeding hole, a well stuck approach that lands short can run up to the pin.
From The Tee A strong tee shot right down the middle will set up a possible two onto this short par five
From The Fairway
On The Green But beware of straying too far off the center line as the fairway is choked at mid-point by large dark mango trees. Also beware of pin position as the green is quite deep and slopes from back to front.
