TOUR COURSE

A generous driving hole but awkward approach to judge as the green sits well above you. If the flag is cut on the left, it is best to aim for the safety of the center of the green as the ground falls sharply away off that side.

A precise mid-iron hole, where most of the trouble is at the front of the green. Because it is framed by tall trees, you may not feel or see the wind. Look to the clouds for any help of strength and direction.

The first real test of your nerve and golfing skill. Favor the left side for the drive as bunkers lurk down the right. As the green sits at an angle over the water, remember to take more club the further on the right the flag is cut.

If you can get a big drive away so that it reaches the top of the hill near the lone tree in the fairway, the hole becomes so much easier. Although there is no sand on the front left, beware of the grass bunker which is tricky to chip from.

Give your drive a rip down the hill, as this par-5 is reachable in two despite the awkward cross bunkers. But once over them don’t think your work is done, as this green is by far the most sloping on the course. Good luck!

Although the bunkers that eat into the fairway look dangerous, they are easy to clear. Be more careful with the quartet of traps by the green. If the flag is on the front level, avoid going onto the top tier as your putt will be a nightmare.oom.

A strategic par-5 which offers two routes. The safe and conventional way is to follow the dog-leg, but another possibility is to fire over the copse of trees on the right and cut the corner off. Only recommended for big hitters though!

Probably the most difficult short hole on the course, where you should be pleased with a par. Even though you might be tempted to take plenty of club to clear the deep bunkers, chipping down from the back banks is still tricky.

It is best to aim down the left side on this inviting drive down the hill, as the hole sweeps balls to the right on landing. The approach up to the shallow but wide green needs to be bold, as all the serious trouble is short.

A big drive on this semi-blind hole should roll down the massive downslope and gain an extra 30 meters, from where the green is easily in range. Choose your club carefully as the green is well above the level of the fairway.

An attractive short hole surrounded with deep bunkers. It looks more dangerous from the tee than reality as the ring of front bunkers is actually well short of the green. Don’t let them fool you into hitting the wrong club.

A hole to be cautious with since the threat of clearing the water can make some hit their drives too far into the bunkers across the dog-leg. The perfect shape would be a left-to-right shot to follow the line of the fairway.

The best line from the tree is a few meters inside the bunkers right so you can’t be blocked out from the green by trees on the left. Even though there are two bunkers waiting for your approach, the left side is the safest line.

An unusual short hole because there are no sand bunkers just four grassy hollows that can snag any ball hit short. Because they are awkward to chip close from, be sure to take plenty of club and rely on your putting game.

Danger every step of the way, but that doesn’t mean you should be afraid of this par-5. If you play it sensibly as a genuine three shot hole by laying up short of the ditch and pitching on, a par should not be a problem.

A definite birdie hole to start the home stretch. Although you can’t see how big the green is from the tee because the three bunkers catch your eye, it is very generous and not difficult to hit even with a mid-iron from the back tee.

The tree in the middle of the fairway might look intimidating but it is not a problem to clear. In fact, it is a good line to take from the tee. Trust the distances, because the two bunkers short can play tricks with your eyes again.

A cracking finishing hole where the fairway ripples between sand and up to a well-guarded green. If you can’t reach in two, take time to work out where you want to go, as two fairway bunkers are cleverly placed to catch you out.
