Hole By Hole Guide:
The 1st Hole
over 72mtrs is a straight forward shot without any major hazards, although depending on the pin position a too far right shot will be out-of-bounds. The Green of 34mtrs in length and slopes from left to right with an up hill putt from front to the back of the green makes this a testing first hole.
The 2nd Hole
of 62mtrs is much shorter than the 1st, however don't let looks deceive you. This 30mtr green is fast and runs from front to back with any over hit rolling off the green and over the cliff too an out-of-bounds. A Drop zone is provided. Also a large sandy bunker can be brought into play dependent on the pin position.
The 3rd Hole
will test your short game skills, with a delicate chip required from an elevated tee position at 64mtrs to the green. With a dangerous bunker and long grass protecting this hole your chose of club and shot could be the difference to your score, there is plenty of room for mistakes on this testing little hole.
The 4th Hole
at 88mtrs is possibly the most attractive and difficult hole on the course with its elevated tee position on the hill looking out across the lake to a 35mtr three tier green. Again your chose of club selection has to be correct, with a rocky hillside to your right and pecon protecting the green from the lake.
The 5th Hole
is another short hole at 74mtrs in length, but again across the lake to another three tier green, running from back to front and right to left, but any position on this green will test you putting skills. The hole is also protected by long grass and an inviting sandy bunker to the left to catch any wayward shot.
The 6th Hole
with more water to master on any wayward right hand shot, this 72mtr hole can cause no end of problems, with pecon and large bunkers to attract your tee shot this three tier green will challenge the best with a good tee shot a must.
The 7th Hole
and into the Caldron, although only 62mtrs from the tee this hole is considered one of the hardest, as the hole can not be seen from the tee, and with it's 30mtr green sweeping from left to right it can be over hit into the bunker or miss hit to pecon or long grass.
The 8th Hole
is the longest on the course at 91mtrs and possibly the most challenging with large sandy bunkers right and left of this three tier 35mtr green. Once on the green it sweeps in a number of different directions and will test your putting skills to score well.
The 9th Hole
and the final hole on this course is 88mtrs and will throw up a number of different challenges. The hole looks straight forward; however the prevailing North Westerly winds will play a big part in your club selection and make this a hole not to be underestimated. A three tier undulating green will test even the best.
