Hole by hole![]() 1. The first hole has been extended by 50 metres making it a challenging opening hole in 325 metres for men and 302 metres for ladies. ![]() ![]() ![]() 2. The second hole, par 4, is a good 100m longer, but is straight. A good drive and a mid to long iron will have you on the green. ![]() ![]() ![]() 3. Another par 4, but caution is required. You can either try the corner with a driver or lay up with an iron. Both will give you a good approach shot. ![]() ![]() ![]() 4. The 4th is no easy par 3, playing 2nd hardest on the course. It is long but a straight shot with a long iron or fairway metal should set you up well. ![]() ![]() ![]() 5. This, the first par 5, is a slight dog-leg right. This will not present a problem to most, if you drive straight up the fairway you will have a good look towards the green for you second and third shots. Birdie is very possible. ![]() ![]() ![]() 6. This par 4 is made to look narrow by the over hanging trees, but don't be mislead it has a generous wide fairway and a good drive will see you well beyond the trees. ![]() ![]() ![]() 7. Go ahead, go for the pin. The bunker is only in play for short shots so go for the heart of the green. The trees on the right only make it look tight - ignore them. ![]() ![]() ![]() 8. Here is a par 4 as easy as they come, if you go par here you will feel like you have dropped a shot. ![]() ![]() ![]() 9. A good wallop with the driver and a three wood will either put you in chipping distance or, here's hoping, on the green. Watch out for the overhead wires - if hit it is compulsory to re fire. ![]() ![]() ![]() 10. A generous landing area awaits at about 150m out from the green. Be sure to put your second close to the pin as this can be a tricky green. ![]() ![]() ![]() 11. A longish par 3 with a slopped green. From the tee anything on the green can be considered a good day at the office. Make it a good shot that the gallery of kangaroos the often graze around this hole will enjoy. ![]() ![]() ![]() 12. This is the number 1 hole on the course with good reason. A good drive is required to get you into position for the approach which may well still be a long iron or wood to the raised green. ![]() ![]() ![]() 13. If you are going to miss here make sure you miss left as the right is all out of bounds. From the tee the fairway widens to a very large landing area. It is actually hard to miss this one. ![]() ![]() ![]() 14. This par 4 has a dog-leg left that can be rectified with a good tee shot down the right, opening up the green for a short to mid iron. Beware the green - slick and sloped. ![]() ![]() ![]() 15. A driver here would be too much fire-power, although you can get to the green over the trees. The best bet here is - hit to the corner and play a wedge to the green. ![]() ![]() ![]() 16. Just a humble par 3 for the elite, but for the rest of us - it has teeth and will bite. You will make 5 here easily if you are not careful and accurate. Beware the trees and the sneaky little bunker. ![]() ![]() ![]() 17. This is the longest of the par 5s and we saved it for the homeward stretch. If you are going well it could be a birdie chance, if you are not going so well then be prepared to cry. You must make the corner to have a shot at the green, and the green is slick, slick, slick. From the tee, the best advise is aim at the tree in the middle. ![]() ![]() ![]() 18. Ah.. the homeward hole. A mid-length par 4 with a green watched over by the members in the clubhouse. Keep focused and remember - refreshment is only a few steps away. ![]() ![]() |
