Pro Tip: Tee shot placement is
critical to success on this hole. The optimum
location will find you close to the 150-yard mark
for an unobstructed view of the green. Be careful of
the water hazard left and heavy trees at the corner.
Big hitters can ensure themselves a short shot to
the green by hitting driver over the corner of the
dogleg, but beware of the water and the out of
bounds to the right. Approaches to the very sloping
green should always end below the hole, as this is
the most severe green on the course and shots
finishing beyond the pin or over the green will
result in potential disaster for the player.

Pro Tip: There is fairly little
trouble here other than the length of the hole. A
long tee shot to the right side of the fairway helps
one avoid hitting over the trap to the left of the
green. Another heavy loping green with a sharp drop
off behind makes overly long approach shots a
mistake.

Pro Tip: This is a fine Par 3 hole
of moderate distance with a dangerous water hole on
the left side. The sensible shot here is to the
right hand side of the green, not only to avoid the
water, but because everything slopes left here and
the balls landing right will bounce and roll left to
the middle of the green.

Pro Tip: A well designed and
challenging Par 5 with numerous tee sites to suit
all levels of golfers. A sharp dog-leg left at the
250-yard marker creates a decision for players this
distance out of whether to lay up to the water
fronting the putting surface, or to gamble and
attempt to fly the water to the green. Longer
hitters will attempt to cut the corner, leaving them
a middle to short iron to the green, however, with
heavily treed rough on both sides of the fairway,
this can result in bogeys or worse by missing the
short grass. Once over the water, the golfer is
faced with possibly the most challenging and
difficult green to read on the course. Again very
sloping back to front, with steep slopes
surrounding, this green breaks much more than it
looks, and is very fast. Often a player will find
his ball right off the green when putting from above
the hole. Keep it below the hole here for success.

Pro Tip: ETrouble abounds down the
right side and all around the green on this uphill
hole. An out of bounds runs from the tee to the
green, and around the back and the right of the
green. With a water hazard on the left and a very
fast green and you have the makings of a very
challenging hole.

Pro Tip: For all but a handful of
players this is a true three shot Par 5. The green
is small and so well guarded by traps that the
second shot really must be placed properly to afford
any opportunity of getting the third shot close.
When approaching this green, every effort should be
made to stay below the hole, as there are some very
hard to manage undulations.

Pro Tip: This hole is the epitome
of one requiring precise shot placement. A very
sharp dog-leg left, with heavy trees lining both
sides of the fairway, the tee shot must be dropped
into the fairway at the corner thus affording the
only clear shot to the green. The green on this hole
is a fairly small target to hit and for shots hit
too long a water hazard may come into play.

Pro Tip: This is a fairly open
target but not one of the largest green on the
course. A deep pot bunker guards the front right of
the green, and another shallow trap stretches across
the back. The wind will determine whether you
require a short iron or wood to reach the green.

Pro Tip: The long hitter can easily
reach this green in two, based on the yardage and
the prevailing following wind. The risk is the large
lake in the landing area to the left and the huge
bunkers and the out of bounds running all the way
from the tee to green on the right. There are again
numerous tee areas for all ability levels and this
hole has the largest putting surface on the golf
course. Careful negotiation of the many hazards here
should result in many birdies and pars to complete
the round and even the occasional eagle!
