Hole 1

Hole Name RANGITOTO

From The Tee From the elevated first tee, the narrow fairway at the landing zone requires an accurate drive.

From The Fairway

On The Green To be in a position to reach the green with a second shot on this short 420m Par 5 requires a drive to the right of this narrow fairway adjacent to a large tree. The big hitters who have an accurate tee shot will be able to see the corner of the green as the hole has a left handed semi dog leg. For short hitters and those with a less accurate tee shot a lay up as second shot is a good option.

Hole 2

Hole Name TIPPERARY

From The Tee The second hole is a pretty straightforward modestly long par

From The Fairway 4 hole at 317m for men with an advanced tee position for ladies. A long, straight tee shot will only leave a mid or short iron approach to an elevated green on this uphill hole.

On The Green The green slopes gently from right to left and often the pin position relative to the back or front of the green is difficult to determine.

Hole 3

Hole Name TEA HOUSE

From The Tee An elevated tee gives a view of the flag on this 462m par 5 with a wide landing area

From The Fairway . A drive just on the upslope of the landing area provides the opportunity to shoot the green in two for big hitters, but beware the blind green.

On The Green For shorter hitters a good view of the green and the position of the pin for a third shot can be O-Btained from the right hand side of the fairway, just by the marker tree. The green has an interesting slope on the right hand side and the back of the green is elevated, behind which is a hazard

Hole 4

Hole Name PINES

From The Tee The 303m Par 4 fourth often with wind assistance from the prevailing wind, can be a short hole, particularly in the summer.

From The Fairway The hole is protected by Out of Bounds down the right and a stand of pines down the left. A ridge at the landing point for short hitters can lead to some interesting bounces usually to the right, towards the Out of Bounds.

On The Green The ideal tee shot will result in being over the ridge on a flat area about 120m from the green. Don't be too long with the approach shot, as the Out of Bounds to the rear of the green will require a reload. A bunker at the back protects the Out of Bounds

Hole 5

Hole Name TOMOS

From The Tee Very little danger from the tee awaits this aptly named hole with an absence of hazards or out bounds.

From The Fairway

On The Green Three hollows or tomo, one left, one middle and one left on the upslope of a ridge can capture even a reasonably long drive. The approach shot from the tommos can have a variety of lies from 120m to the green. Longer hitters will be able to clear the ridge leaving a short flick to the green. A hazard in the form of a pond will capture long approach shots

Hole 6

Hole Name WHIZ-BANG

From The Tee From the white tees, there is a substantial drop in slope to the green on this 168m par 3.

From The Fairway

On The Green In order to reach the green a carry over a pond of approximately 130m is required. The tee shot is into the prevailing wind and thus club selection is critical. Once over the pond there is an apron and beyond the green are two bunkers. If a drive is pushed to the right large trees await and if pulled a well-vegetated hazard awaits. The hazard and pond are more visible from the 117m yellow tees, wi

Hole 7

Hole Name DIXIE

From The Tee This short par 3 is protected at the front by Billy's bunkers to the left and right, separated by a cleavage.

From The Fairway

On The Green A high shot or an accurate cleavage shot is required to hit the green.

Hole 8

Hole Name DRESS CIRCLE

From The Tee The longest par 4 on the course at 392m is deservedly stroke 1 for the men and for the Ladies it is a par 5.

From The Fairway The presence of a large tree on the left forces an aim right of it. A slice tee short will land on the 2nd Fairway with a long tricky shot to follow.

On The Green Short hitters will play this hole as a par 5. The green is kidney shaped with a slight slope from left to right. A back left pin position is hard to get to.

Hole 9

Hole Name HIGHWAY

From The Tee A short (141m) par 3 playing downhill but often into the prevailing

From The Fairway wind with no little front protection would appear to be an easy hole.

On The Green The out of bounds about 5m behind the green will trap a long or a fat shot. The slightly elevated green slopes from back to front.
