Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A friendly dog-leg left with out of bounds along the boundary fence on the right. Golfers should aim right off the tee to avoid a fairway bunker on the left.
On The Green Past the corner, the hole opens up to a tree lined green that can be attacked with a good iron shot. Pro Tip: A lofted approach will combat too much run on this hard green.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A short par three with a narrow but long green, sloping from right to left. In the prevailing South-East wind this hole is infamous for being the “shortest par five” on the course.
From The Fairway
On The Green You would be surprised at how easily it throws a double bogey your way. This slick green has a tricky slope that will certainly test your short game and putting. Pro Tip: Choose the right club and via left.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee It’s our longest and most difficult hole on the course. Just over 500m in length, this hole will definitely require 3 good shots to find the green in regulation.
From The Fairway The hole doglegs at about 2/3rds of the way down the fairway. Bunkers are visible from the tee on both sides of the fairway and will come into play for some golfers.
On The Green Aim to the middle of our longest green to avoid the bunker on the right and our very own “valley of sin” on the left. Pro Tip: Distance control on the wedge approach is required.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Time to make a birdie. This Par 4 has a wide landing area and a straight 3 wood (for men)off the tee will take the trees out of play.
From The Fairway A short to mid iron is required for your approach to the large receptive green but beware of the tricky slopes on the green. Pro Tip: Accuracy off the tee is key.
On The Green
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Our longest Par 3 is a tough one. Myrtle bushes line the right side of the fairway.
From The Fairway
On The Green The left greenside bunker catches all of the good shots that run off the sloped green from right to left. Par is a good score no matter the handicap. Pro Tip: Stay below the hole (left).
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Get your nerves under control for this tee shot over the water at number seven. A long fairway awaits you with three bunkers on the right hand side and two on the left.
From The Fairway
On The Green The jelly bean green is slightly elevated and there are two swails on either side of the green. A greenside bunker on the right will catch any wayward shots. Accuracy here is the key.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee An accurate tee shot is required. A narrow green awaits with water on the right and two testing bunkers on the left.
From The Fairway For the long hitters this hole is the epitome of the term “risk and reward”. Keep it straight all the way down to the hole.
On The Green
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This Par 4 dog-leg right will be a stern test for any golfer. Trees line the right hand side of the fairway.
On The Green This green is narrow and slopes severely from left to right. Pro Tip: Keep the ball left for a good approach.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole offers one of the most demanding tee shots you will face at Westlake. It’s a short dogleg right with towering pine trees lining the right side of a sloping fairway.
From The Fairway Water does come into play on the left side. The two tiered green is guarded by a greenside bunker on the right and out of bounds at the back.
On The Green Correct club selection is key to hitting the green and Par is a good start to the 9!
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee A wide open fairway with mountain views in the distance. This hole rewards a good tee shot. You will find fairway bunkers on the right and left, they may come into play for the longer hitters who fly the hill off the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is surrounded by hazards with two bunkers either side of the front entrance and a hazard in play at the back down the steep slope.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Westlake’s feature hole is the second longest Par 4 and described by Bobbly Locke as, “one of the best Par 4’s in the country”. It’s a dog-leg left requiring accuracy to avoid the towering pine trees which line the fairway.
On The Green A narrow elevated entrance to the green is a considering factor when playing your approach.
