A good Par 4 opening hole which doglegs left, with out of bounds on the left. Right is safe for a good start to your round.

Golf Guide 

HCP 0-9: Take your preferred mid-iron for position short of the bunkers, which will leave a wedge onto the green. Lots of trouble at the back of the green.

HCP 10-18: A straight fairway club short of bunkers and centre of fairway. 2nd shot with mid/short iron to the elevated green. Through the green is trouble.

HCP 19+: A nice straight fairway wood to find the fairway, be aware of the out bounds to the left. A 2nd shot with mid/short iron up to the front greenside bunkers, to leave 9 iron/ wedge onto the elevated green.

Green: A large two-tiered, elongated green which slopes right to left. A flat putting surface which is well protected by 4 front bunkers and 2 rear bunkers.

A par 5 on an elevated tee, which plays longer than it looks. Be aware of the 3 left ahnd side fairway with the 2nd shot. Birdie chance for the Brave.

HCP 0-9: Driver with draw at the old ruin on hillside will leave an uphill fairway wood / long iron to the elevated green. It’s a good chance for birdie.

HCP: 10-18: Driver to the right of the trees on the left to the elbow of the fairway. 2nd shot with a fairway wood straight up to the middle. Be aware of the bunkers on the left of the fairway. A short Iron / Wedge onto the green.

HCP: 19+: A Driver / Fairway wood to the right of the trees on the left. 2nd shot, a straight fairway wood. Be aware of the bunkers on the left. This will leave a mid / short iron onto the green.

Green: A mid-sized, slightly elevated green. A flat putting surface but slopes back to front. Protected with two right greenside bunkers.

A picturesque par 3 hole with a large water hazard to the front of the green. A good birdie chance here if you commit to the shot.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Shorter holes should require a carry over water or sand to an elevated green”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9:  A good wedge form the elevated tee to the centre of the green will give a good birdie chance.

HCP: 10-18: A nicely struck short iron to the centre of the green for a chance of birdie. Don’t hold back, commit to the shot.

HCP: 19+: A straight mid /short iron here. A good tip, when hitting over water hazards always take one more club than normal. Commit to the shot.

Green: This is large /mid-sized green with a flat putting surface and slopes back to front. Protected by two  left hand and two right hand green side bunkers.

A par 4 dogleg right. A good hole for the thinkers and a birdie chance for the brave but, is the reward worth the risk?

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Hazards make golf what it is, adding to the work of art that is a golf course”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9:  A fairway wood / 1 or 2 iron with draw to the centre/ left edge of the green for the brave.

HCP: 10-18: Driver / fairway wood with a little fade to bring you centre  of fairway short of the two fairway trees. 2nd short, short iron / wedge over the trees into the green.

HCP: 19+:  Driver aiming to the left hand side of the fairway, there is only trouble to the right of the tee. 2nd shot is a nice short iron over the trees into the green.

A tight par 4 with trouble on both right and left. Fairway falls right to left. Wise to club down on  approach shot to the sunken bowl effect green

“Instead of having one long tee, I broke it up into separate tees”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: A straight drive is important will leave only a wedge to the pin. Maybe “driveable” in perfect condition for the big hitters. Chance to score well.

HCP: 10-18:  Driver / fairway wood, down the centre / right hand side of fairway, avoiding the two left side fairway bunkers. 2nd shot will be a wedge into the green, again chance to score well here.

HCP: 19+: A straight driver / fairway wood. For the bigger hitters the two left side fairway bunkers may come into play. 2nd shot with a mid / short iron into the green.

Green: A lovely receptive mid-sized green, elongated and sloping form back to front. Protected by 1 left hand greenside bunker and out of bounds at the rear.

The signature hole of the golf course. The tee shot is both inspiring and a little daunting of the elevated tee.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Like greens, fairways should have contour”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: A solid long iron onto the plateau for a chance to go for the green in two. Safe 2nd shot is a short iron short of the water to leave a wedge onto the green.

HCP: 10-18: Fairway wood short of the 1st ditch or onto the plateau. 2nd shot long / mid iron to lay up before the water. 3rd shot is a wedge over the hazard onto the green.

HCP: 19+: Driver / Fairway wood for position short of the 1st ditch. 2nd shot a short iron onto the fairway between the two ditches. The big hitters 3rd shot a mid iron into the green. Shorter hitters lay up with a wedge and chip on.

Green: A medium sized, flat, elongated putting surface. Receptive for the high approach shot. Protected by the frontal water. More trouble through the green.

A par 4 and another smashing golf hole with an elevated tee shot. A straight , solidly struck tee shot is the key for this hole

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Route the holes to take advantage of the terrain”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: A good solid driver over the left hand side fairway bunker to the top of the fill. Club selection for 2nd shot is critical but short iron / wedge should be enough.

HCP: 10-18: A good drive, right of the left hand side fairway bunker to the top of the hill. Your second shot will be a long /mid iron into the green.

HCP: 19+: A good drive keeps right of the left hand side fairway bunker for position. The bigger hitters will take a long iron to reach the green, and the shorter hitters can take a mid iron short of the green and then chip on.

Green: A large elongated green with a flat putting surface which slopes left to right. It has two right green-side bunkers.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Varying the elevation of tees can do much to enhance…”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: Tricky short par four playing downhill to a narrow fairway. Best to hit a full driver into the heart of the fairway leaving a short wedge into the green

HCP: 10-18: 10-18 For the brave take out the driver or your best long club and keep yourself in play. The hole gathers the ball onto the fairway leaving a half to full wedge into the green.

HCP: 19+: Use your three wood or long iron you are most comfortable with to keep the ball in play. Most drives will gather into the middle of the fairway leaving a full nine iron into the green.

Green: the green is bunkers to allow the ball to run to the hole. Beware of the hidden bunker left of the green.

A super par 3 golf hole towards the club house. The tee shot is again the key to scoring.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“The element of one shot enhances the drama”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: This is a longish par three which demands that you choose the correct club depending on the pin position. Use a hard seven iron or soft six iron.

HCP: 10-18: The green is more receptive from the right and left of the green will leave you with a difficult chip.  I would use a soft five iron or six iron.

HCP: 19+: The green is more receptive from the right and left of the green will leave you with a difficult chip.  I would use a soft five iron or six iron.

Green: Double green connected with the eighteenth. The green slopes from right to left quicker than you may think.

Nuevo par 4 con un gran bunker delante del Green.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. dijo:

“Un búnker [debería producir] una penalización de un golpe, pero sólo eso”

Guía de Golf

HCP 0-9: Hace falta un Driver completo, y con cuidado de no irnos a la parte izquierda. El segundo golpe será un hierro nueve sencillo hacia el green elevado, con cuidado de no ir demasiado largo.

HCP 10-18: Juega más a la derecha hacia el pino con un Driver. Esto te dejará un hierro ocho o nueve a Green.

HCP 19 +: Debes ser conservador y jugar una madera tres a la derecha de la calle. Puede que no puedas llegar a la zona de aterrizaje, por lo que hay que tener cuidado con el agua a la izquierda. Necesitará un hierro medio para asegurarse de llegar a la parte izquierda del Green.

Green: Un verde pequeño y estrecho, con mucho movimiento y bien protegido por un bunker frontal. Ha de concentrarse en calcular la longitud no tanto en la dirección.

Nuevo Par 3 que va desde los olivos del tee del 18 original al Green del antiguo 7.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. dijo:

“El arquitecto astuto quita los árboles para hacer los hoyos más jugables”

Guía de Golf

HCP 0-9: Un Par tres largo que requiere un hierro 4 o 5 preciso para coger el centro del Green. Los Bunkers pueden entrar en juego por la derecha .. Es mejor ir largo en este hoyo

HCP: 10-18: Un par 3 colina abajo que permite un hierro tres o cuatro. Sea consciente de las trampas de arena a la derecha así como de las lomas verdes a la izquierda.

HCP: 19+: Golpe largo con un hierro largo o una madera tres. Es mejor quedarse corto a la derecha porque puede obtener un buen rebote hacia el green.

Green: Un Green largo y estrecho que desciende hacia el frente y a la izquierda. Es difícil poner la bola en el lado derecho del green ya que es más rápido de lo que parece.

New par 4, approximately reversing the old 7th, from stepped high tees

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Elevation of tees can be critical...”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: Great driving hole, time to open the shoulders and position yourself on the plateau giving you a full nine or eight iron onto a receptive green.

HCP: 10-18: A must driver hole and once you find the landing area you are faced with many hazards.  I would suggest a 6 iron  to carry the stream give the player a chance to reach the green.

HCP: 19+: A super hole to try out your driver and reach the landing area. The hole is slightly dogleg to the right.  Need a fairly low iron to carry the stream or lay up and use a wedge to make bogie.

A slight dogleg left to right. Be aware of the large water hazard on the left from the tee shot and with the approach shot to the green.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Short of the pro’s target, the fairway is widened to give everyone else a bigger area [for] the tee shot”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: A driver off the tee then a fairway wood to the green. The cautious play is a driver to the center of the  fairway followed by a 7/8 iron and a wedge onto the green.

HCP: 10-18: A drive through the gap aiming to the right hand side of the fairway keeping left of the fairway bunker. A 2nd shot with a fairway wood / long iron to find the centre of the fairway. This will leave a short iron / wedge into the green.

HCP: 19+: Driver, keep to the right hand side of the fairway. Your 2nd shot will be a fairway wood / long iron down centre of the fairway. Be aware of the water to the left. 3rd shot is a short iron into the green.

Green: A large receptive green, narrow at the front but opening out to the rear. Protected at the front left by the water hazard and 2 right hand greenside pot bunkers.

A tricky hole with the tree in the middle of the fairway causing the tee shot to be a little more difficult. A chance to score well here though.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“A single tree can be utilised within strategic design”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: A solid long iron to the centre of the fairway and short of the ditch. Tour 2nd shot will be a short / iron wedge to chip onto the elevated green.

HCP 10-18: Take the driver down to the middle with the tree being your line of attack. This will leave either a mid / short iron into the elevated green.

HCP 19+: Driver straight down the middle of the fairway towards the tree. This will leave the bigger hitters with a nice mid / short iron into the elevated green. The shorter hitter may have to play up to the ditch and chip onto the elevated green.

Green: A small but receptive, slightly undulating so be careful with the putts here. The green does have a slight slope right to the left but is bunker free.

A super par 4 with a slight dogleg to the right which favors the brave off the tee. A chance for birdie but you must respect this hole.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Trees should be used to frame the target areas, especially greens”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: A Driver / long iron straight to the centre of the fairway will leave a wedge onto the elevated green. The chance of birdie here but respect is the key.

HCP: 10-18: Take the driver and hit it fade to bring it back into the centre of the fairway. The 2nd shot should be a short good iron up onto the elevated green.

HCP: 19+: A good straight Drive into the elbow of the fairway. 2nd shot for the big hitter is a mid iron, otherwise a short iron up to the front of the green and chip on.

Green: A mid-sized kidney shaped green which has a slight slope left to right and back to front. Front left greenside  bunker and right side greenside bunkers.

A great little Par 3 which plays tougher than it looks. Any loose tee shots will be punished. This hole can be affected by breezes.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Greenside bunkers should not be so severe that the shot cannot be gotten close with skill”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: A firmly struck 7/8 iron, depending on any breeze, will reach the green. You should note the water hazard and the large left hand greenside bunker.

HCP: 10-18: From the elevated tee take your preferred mid iron and commit to the shot onto the green, anything too long or wide will catch the hazards.

HCP: 19+: A fairway wood onto the green is the club here. Be careful not to over hit the green and catch the water hazard.

Green: A large elongated green which slopes right to left. Left hand greenside bunker. The water runs the length of the right hand side and rear of the green

A long slender Par 5 amply bunkered along the way. Keep shots to the right to avoid the bunkers and the trees behind..

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Par 5s: thinking is extremely important, and shot execution even more so”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9: Driver with a slight fade for position in the right side of the fairway. For big hitters and in right conditions take a fairway wood / long iron and go for the green. If not, a mid iron up to the green and chip on. 

HCP 10-18: A solid long straight drive keeping right of the two left hand side fairway bunkers. 2nd shot with a fairway wood down the middle of the fairway. 3rd shot is a mid iron and go for the green. Note the fairway bunkers on the left and right.

HCP 19+: A straight drive to the right of the fairway. 2nd shot with a fairway wood to the right hand side of the fairway. 3rd shot is a long iron into the green. Note the fairway bunkers on the left and right.

Green: A large receptive green which is well protected on the approach by two large fairway bunkers on the left and the right and one greenside bunker on the right

A lovely Par 4 to finish a fantastic round of golf. Out of bounds to the left but only comes into play if your tee shot is wild.

Robert Trent Jones Snr. said:

“Bunkers provide winning drama”

Golf Guide

HCP 0-9:  A 3/4 iron aimed up the middle of the fairway being careful of the left hand side and centre fairway bunkers. A short iron onto the elevated shared green will give chances of birdie.

HCP 10-18: A solid straight drive up the centre of the fairway avoiding the centre and left hand side fairway bunkers. A smooth mid iron should see you onto the elevated green to finish the round on a high.

HCP 19+: Driver here straight up the centre of the fairway. 2nd shot with mid/ long iron avoiding the centre and left hand side fairway bunkers, gaining position just short of the green will leave a chip onto the green.

Green: A huge shared green which is undulating but with a perfect putting surface. Protected by front and front left greenside bunkers.
