HOLE 1 PAR 4 344 METRES
Take the bunkers out of play - aim right centre fairway with a lay up, better still a drive down the middle with draw. Be up with your second, plenty of sand short. A ball hit left green makes recovery difficult. Bunkers right and back will also catch a miss hit shot. |
|
HOLE 2 PAR 4 375 METRES
Left hand bunker well in range - favour right fairway off the tee. Water further right may catch a slice. A ball landing short of the green will hold up. Check distance and wind carefully. Prominent ridge divides green in two, club for the pin position of the day. |
|
HOLE 7 PAR 5 537 METRES
The longest hole on the course - time for the driver. Aim your second at the bunkers ahead to open up the green, left is dead. Bunkers front left and right guard the small green - slopes left and back make recovery difficult. Club selection vital for the shot in. |
|
HOLE 6 PAR 4 390 METRES
Aim your tee shot left centre fairway to avoid the bunker cutting into the fairway. Sand left and right of green call for a straight long iron or wood for the second. Perhaps safer to lay up and chip and putt for par. Another green divided by a prominent ridge. |
|
HOLE 5 PAR 3 162 METRES
Carefully check the distance from the day's tee markers and the wind to ensure accurate club selection. A straight shot here is vital, swing easy and don't force the shot. Prominent slopes on this green call for careful reading of your putting line to get your par. |
|
HOLE 4 PAR 5 510 METRES
Left-hand fairway bunker can be in range - don't 'cut the corner'. Fairway slopes to the right, make allowances for your second - beware water all down the right. A lay up second shot is wise. Sand left and back and water right call for an accurate shot in. |
|
HOLE 3 PAR 4 330 METRES
It is 291m to the centre green from the Black - don't think about it! Aim tee shot at the left hand bunkers and fairway slopes will centre the ball leaving an easy short iron in. A well guarded green requires accurate clubbing to avoid bunkers front left and back. |
|
HOLE 10 PAR 4 371 METRES
A tee shot aimed left edge of the fairway bunker will centre with fairway slope. Dense bush down the left penalises a shot hit left. 'Dead ground' in front of the green makes the shot look shorter than it is - check distance carefully for your second. Mid green slopes away to the left. |
|
HOLE 9 PAR 4 387 METRES
A good drive required on this long par 4. A generous landing area to the left of the fairway bunker. You should carry the fairway bunker right but more bunkers guard left and right green calling for a long straight shot. Thick native bush back and left green. |
|
HOLE 8 PAR 3 164 METRES
Check daily markers for the correct distance here. The big bunker left is well in front of the green but two more guard the front right. Steep slopes left and back will make recovery difficult. Another ridge divides this green in half. Club for the pin placement of the day. |
|
HOLE 13 PAR 4 352 METRES
All fairway bunkers are in range so the only line is down the middle. Your most reliable long iron or fairway wood ideal off the tee for accuracy. 283m to the stream. A generously sized green with water close right. Favour left centre green for safety. |
|
HOLE 12 PAR 3 198 METRES
Two bunkers guard the left and left front green with another bunker back right. If in doubt, the bail out area is front right. Simply check the daily tee markers and wind for correct club selection. Many swales on this green - a thorough read of the putt is recommended. |
|
HOLE 11 PAR 5 503 METRES
Best driving line left bridge pylon. Stream across fairway may call for a lay up if short off the tee. Lay up with second shot then take an extra club into the green. Green well guarded by bunkers left and right. A shot landing front green may well run back. |
|
HOLE 16 PAR 3 148 METRES
The shortest par 3 on the course but no 'gimme'. With bunkers right and water on the left it is important to hit straight. Having checked the distance for the pin position of the day, swing smoothly so as not to force the shot. |
|
HOLE 15 PAR 5 531 METRES
A driver hit down the middle is ideal. The uphill fairway may shorten the run. Stream in range of your second - check the distances to clear water. If in doubt lay up for safety. A very wide green with little depth especially on the right. |
|
HOLE 14 PAR 4 346 METRES
The right hand bunkers guard the landing zone, aim left centre fairway for safety - slopes will centre the ball. Accuracy not length required here. Green side bunkers are all in the front, better long than short for the second shot - beware of water well behind the green though. |
|
HOLE 18 PAR 4 420 METRES
Aim at the left-hand edge of the distant left bunker to open up the green and shorten your second shot. Avoid native bush all down the left. A long accurate second required. Sand and slopes left green - more bunkers right. Consider a lay up to preserve your score. |
|
HOLE 17 PAR 4 387 METRES
A middled drive into the rising fairway is needed. For a blind second shot, the line to this oblique green is directly between the right hand two lamp posts on the bridge. With pin back right you must carry bunkers front and right of green. Deep hollow back left. |
|
The course has been specifically designed to provide a challenge to shot making without being a torturous test of golf. Shaped fairways encourage free play, however, strategically placed avenues of native trees, resort style bunkers and water hazards guard the greens. |
