Hole
1/10: Par 4
This is a good starting hole that plays dog leg left. Play
center left to avoid bunker on the right. Long hitters could
reach the open swale, which is 30m from the green. The green
is slightly raised and easily accessible from the right. It
has a few interesting pin positions, especially on the far
left of the green.
Hole
2/11: Par 3
It plays 150m from the back tee. This is the only Par 3
on the course. The presence of a constant head wind makes
the hole play longer. The green is elevated. The water in
front of the green is in play and adds character to the
hole. A beautiful hole that is set well amongst palm trees
and water. Focus on the green and not the water. Extra club
here is a good idea.
Hole
3/12 (320m): Par 4
The hole plays dog leg right. Good positioning on the left
side of hole is key to the opening up for the approach.
The green bowls out and receives shots well. The hole is
well tree lined. Too far right would leave you with no shot
to the green. Keep in mind of the cross wind.
Hole
4/13: Par 4
The hole plays dog leg left. Good tee-shot is played to
the right. Most players will carry the open swale on their
tee-shots. The green is slightly elevated. The green itself
slopes back to front and is easily accessible from the right.
Good idea to stay below the hole. The bunker in front of
the green catches errant approach shots.
Hole
5/14: Par 4
The water feature near the tees sets up the hole. The fairway
is rather narrow, and is tree lined. The bunker on the right
should not come into play on most tee-shots. The hole plays
against the wind and is longer than it appears. The green
is well bunkered and accuracy is key on the approach shot.
Pin position on the left will play tough.
Hole
6/15: Par 4
This longest hole of the Par 4¡¯s bends right and is
easily the most difficult hole on the course. All the trouble
is on the left. The main concern is the approach shots over
the lake guarding the green. The green runs away towards
the right. Approach shots must avoid the bunker on the left.
Weigh up the options carefully to avoid going away with
a bad score. A par is good score on this hole.
Hole
7/16: Par 4
The hole plays straight. The main concern is the bunker
on the right, which must be avoided at all cost. The green
is elevated and very tightly guarded by bunkers. An extra
club in this hole may not be a bad idea. Beware of the string
of bunkers on the left towards the green. Three putts could
be common on this green.
Hole
8/17: Par 5
The only Par 5 on the course. Errant tee shots will catch
the bunker on the left of fairway. Shots played to the slope
on the right side could set up well for the next shot, which
must be positioned more towards the right before the lake.
The approach to the green is most challenging. The green
is very tightly guarded by the bunkers. Aim center left
to avoid trouble. A true test of golf.
Hole
9/18: Par 4
The rather longish Par 4 is a good finishing hole. The hole
bends right and the temptation is to cut the corner. This
will considerably shorten the hole. But it is not without
risks, especially the pot bunker on the right slope of this
rather elevated fairway. The green is elevated and well
guarded. Pin positions on the right can be challenging.
A good par if you make it. Be aware of three putting on
this sleek green.
