Hole
1
The fairway is very wide for the opening shot.
For the long hitter, the tree comes into play
and must be negotiated. Keep the second shot to
the right. The green is split level so be accurate
with approach.
|
|
Hole
2
Sharp dogleg right, You’ll run out of fairway
unless your tee shot is a fade or hit over the
right side bunkers. Lots of trouble to the right
of trees. A three wood is probably the right choice
on the tee.
|
|
Hole
3
A narrow fairway that gets tighter the longer
the tee shot. Keep the ball left on the drive.
Lots of room if you miss the green, but watch
out for the crevice short right.
|
|
Hole
4
Length of this hole is deceiving. Take out an
extra club if you’re undecided. Avoid the
Balinese walls to the right at all cost.
|
|
Hole
5
Hit it long and hit it straight. Tee shot must
be at least to the crest of the hill to have a
view of the green which is down at the bottom
of the draw. Careful on the second shot that you
keep your head down.
|
|
Hole
6
Club selection is all important here..don’t
let the view distract you. Any shots hit right
are dead..bailout is all left. Golfers hitting
to the wrong side of this green are in for a surprise.
|
|
Hole
7
Length is important. Fairway funnels most shots
to the middle, so let it rip. Second shot should
be kept left, otherwise the approach is an extreme
challenge. Right side of green falls away at rear,
so bear that in mind if approaching from the right.
|
|
Hole
8
The most challenging hole on the front nine. Length
off the tee is important because the green is
3 tiered and, again, tends to fall away. Consider
a bump and run from the right front of the green
instead of going for the pin with a middle to
long iron.
|
|
Hole
9
Deceptive hole which looks a lot harder than it
really is. Only the extreme long hitter can reach
the water off the tee. Ideal tee shot is to the
left of the fairway. Club selection and execution
is paramount for the green approach. Land it softly,
as the green is surrounded by water.
|
|
Hole
10
The safe shot is to the middle of the fairway,
but that leaves a tough approach over a deep bunker.
If possible, keep the tee shot to the right and
even carry the right side bunker for an easier
approach.
|
|
Hole
11
Designed to be an opportunity hole, the green
is reachable in two with a decent drive down the
middle. Don’t go right with the second shot
as the lake will pull you toward it. Don’t
go too far left or third shot can be tricky coming
back toward the lake. Green is deep but has definite
birdie potential.
|
|
Hole
12
Gauge the distance and hit boldly. Balls hit over
the green will produce some difficult recovery
shots.
|
|
Hole
13
“safe” shot to the right of the fairway
will result in a blind second shot. The bunker
on the left can be carried with a huge tee shot,
but the penalty is serve for being short. Approach
the green from any angle you choose, but be careful
of the right side..a big surprise awaits you there.
|
|
Hole
14
Tee shot must be down the middle. Green is nestled
down in a low valley and shots tend to carry on
this hole.
|
|
Hole
15
Length is deceiving here. Green is farther away
than it looks. Very important to be on the correct
level of the green if you want any chance to two-putt.
|
|
Hole
16
Designed to be the toughest on the course. A slight
draw is necessary to cut the dogleg on this monster
hole. If you don’t think you can reach the
green in two, we strongly advise you to lay up
left. (You have been officially forewarned).
|
|
Hole
17
If the breeze is in your face, this medium length
par four can be a real terror. Fairway is wide;
but looks narrow, with trouble on both sides.
Club selection and type of shot into the green
will be the challenge here. Wind will hold up
any shot hit high.
|
|
Hole
18
Don’t let water intimidate you. (Or the
sand to the left). Flirt with the lake for a more
open shot to the green. The green is accommodating
except for that one doggone bunker which will
catch any shots hit short. And don’t forget
the water to the right and behind the green.
