Golf Course description:

Hole 1 : Par 5 : 500 Metres

An opening drive designed to encourage positive attitude from the start. The bunker on the corner can be carried
depending upon individual ability or played safely to the left. The elevated green is defined by the large bunker to
the left hand side which extends down the fairway, making choice for the second shot important in the strategy of
the hole. A good result will be encouraged by positive play.

Hole 2 : Par 3 : 207 Metres

This is a long and exacting par 3 early on in the round. A large bunker covers most of the right hand side of the
green and again an elevated green means it is important for a well struck iron shot. Flag placements to the left of
the green will look generous, although flags can be placed to the right side and look daunting next to the bunker.

Hole 3 : Par 4 : 410 Metres

The first of two demanding back to back par 4’s. An exacting drive is required between two bunkers on an
elevated landing area. A medium to long iron approach shot to the raised platform green will be difficult for the
amateur player particularly as the green is guarded by a very deep bunker to the left. While a good player will be
drawn to attacking the hole, the handicap player requires strategy.

Hole 4 : Par 4 : 404 Metres

An accurate tee shot from the elevated tee is necessary. Again, the landing area is protected with two bunkers
which must be negotiated accurately. The second shot, again with a medium to long iron, must negotiate large
bunkers in front of the green on the right hand side. Flag positions can be hidden behind difficult roles on the
green, making this the hardest hole on the first nine holes.

Hole 5 : Par 5 : 442 Metres

A relatively short par 5 and a good birdie opportunity. A good drive must negotiate safely the big bunker on the
left hand side. This will open up the green and encourage an attacking second or third shot for birdie
opportunities.

Hole 6 : Par 4 : 370 Metres

A straight hole with everything there to see. It is important to hit the fairway as the green is surrounded by deep
bunkers to the front and sides and role off valley to the back of the green. Although only a short par 4 it will have
interesting challenges depending on the flag position.

Hole 7 : Par 3 : 174 Metres

An island green designed to intimidate and entice the golfer. A medium to short iron par 3 where accuracy is
everything. The chance to put this in front of the clubhouse and hotel for the amusement and entertainment of
those watching was too good an opportunity to miss.

Hole 8 : Par 4 : 328 Metres

A relatively easy par 4 with little trouble from the tee. However, all the problems are with the undulating green and
the deep pot bunkers waiting to catch missed approach shots.

Hole 9 : Par 4 : 393 Metres

A classic golf hole design to complete the first 9 holes. The green can be seen from the distance, placed between
mounds, bunkers and deep rough zone however the player must ignore the flag and play out to the left where the
only trouble are two pot bunkers on the right hand side. The undulating green will provide interesting flag
positions and difficult puts and the lake which sneaks into the left hand side of the green should not be ignored as
a potential hazard.

Hole 10 : Par 5 : 441 Metres

The second nine holes is less aggressively mounded, although the same philosophy of play is relevant; aggressive
and positive play will provide rewards. The open tee shot to this hole is generous with only a big bunker to the left
being the golfers problem. However, the second and third shot become increasingly difficult with the several
bunkers designed to catch inaccurate shots. A good opening hole to the back nine with birdies a real possibility

Hole 11 : Par 3 : 180 Metres

A medium iron par 3 to an elevated green played all across large bunker. The platform green is designed to help
hold the tee shot, but any slight miss should role away to the back and right hand side. A good par 3.

Hole 12 : Par 4 : 323 Metres

A short par 4 with the green placed out into the lake. Aggressive play may give as many birdies as disasters.
Strategy may be the best approach for this hole.

Hole 13 : Par 3 : 157 Metres

A straight forward par 3 in which accuracy and club selection is important for success. Not a very long par 3 which
should encourage attacking play although care must be taken when the flag is placed near the waters edge.

Hole 14 : Par 4 : 320 Metres

A relatively straight forward par 4. A good drive to a generous fairway will leave the shortest of approach shots to the elevated green.

Hole 15 : Par 4 : 300 Metres

Another short par 4 which can be played strategically with an iron off the tee to a generous fairway or with more
aggression to the green carrying the fairway bunkers. Again the elevated green may make it tricky but certainly
birdies are a real opportunity.

Hole 16 : Par 4 : 358 Metres

Accuracy off the tee is important on this hole as the landing area is quite narrow. The green is guarded with two
bunkers to the front, although club selection is important as the lake awaits for an over4hit on the second shot

Hole 17 : Par 4 : 384 Metres

A relatively straight forward par 4 in which two good shots will give a good result. The tee shot has only two
bunkers in the fairways to negotiate and the large undulating green guarded by a bunker on the left hand side.

Hole 18 : Par 5 : 486 Metres

A super par 5 to finish the golf course with. The tee shot must be played between two bunkers to a narrow landing
area, although favouring the left hand side will give the best line to the green which is positioned across the lake.
Hitting the green in two shots is definitely a possibility but accuracy is extremely important. A great matchplay hole
to finish in which strategy becomes an important part of the way you play.
