The First Hole is a fairly short and straightforward par 4 of 289 metres.
Standing on the tee you have to clear the lake in front of you to make it to the fairway.
However a deep water hazard borders to the left side of the fairway waiting to catch those with a left slice!
On from the fairway are three bunkers guarding the large, slightly sloping green. |
The Second Hole is a long par 5 of 460 metres.
Your first drive towards the sea should be kept to the left of the fairway. The second shot will be a safe mid-iron or a high fairway wood over a diagonal water course.
The dangers come in the form a lateral water hazard and a bunker, both of them on the left approach to the oversized green. |
The Third Hole is gentle par 4 of 344 metres.
A good drive is needed to reach the level ground whilst clearing the sharp rise in the first part of the fairway.
Two large ball catching bunkers protect the front of the green which possess many subtle borrows. |
The Fourth Hole is a tough par 4 of 250 metres.
This hole has left its mark on many medal cards. A faultless straight drive is needed to avoid the rocky escarpment on the right of the tee and the deep lateral water hazard on the left.
A short iron will find the two level plateau green. |
The Fifth Hole is a testing par 4 of 294 metres.
The dangers come from the out of bounds gully on the right and the bunkers waiting to catch you right of the fairway.
The green is fast and slopes from the back towards the front. |
The Sixth Hole is a new par 4 of 304 metres.
An easy hole compared to others, the wide fairway dog-legs to the left.
For the confident player a deep water hazard on the left should not come in to play. |
The Seventh Hole is a long par 3 of 194 metres.
You reach this tee by passing under the road tunnel. A good drive and most will reach the putting surface.
For those who can, a tee shot down the right will avoid the foremost of the three bunkers that surround the large green. |
The Eighth Tee is the second par 5 of 459 metres.
A long straight drive coming into the gentle dog-leg to the right will set up the perfect second wood shot. Dangers to avoid are the water hazard to the left and the lake to the right.
The third iron shot will open up the large green. |
The Ninth Tee is a reasonable par 4 of 302 metres.
The gently ascending fairway is preceded by a large unforgiving lake. The carry is only 130 metres and a wise choice is required.
Approaching the green with a medium iron will help to avoid the only bunker located at the back. |
