1st Hole - View this hole. Driver left of centre to avoid bunkers right. A long iron or fairway wood at right corner of the green to avoid water left. Generous green and pitch shot 3rd.
2nd Hole - View this hole. Driver centre or right hand side to avoid bunker and sand left. If you reach the hollow it's a blind second shot to an elevated green. Bunkered at the back. Take one more club than expected. Very happy with par here.
3rd Hole - View this hole. Open par 3, watch for wind. Mid iron shot. Steeply banked green on the right. Safety to the centre or left hand side of the green.
4th Hole - View this hole. Straight forward par 5. Two big hits and a pitch to the pin. Good birdie chance.
5th Hole - View this hole. Anything from a 6 iron to a wood here. Elevated green with very deep bunkers both sides. O.B. over the back. Must be straight here. Large green especially on the right hand side.
6th Hole - View this hole. Two bunkers on the right are reachable off the tee. From the centre of the fairway a mid iron to the pin. This green is elevated 20 metres. Wind affected because it located so close to the ocean. Don't be short - be long.
7th Hole - View this hole. Downhill par 3. Ocean at your back. Green narrows on the left. Deep bunkers at the back. Club selection important and aim a little right of centre for the widest part of the green.
8th Hole - View this hole. Aim centre or left side to miss bunker right hand side. Steep bank left and over the green. Play towards the right hand side.
9th Hole - View this hole. Drive left to avoid bunkers right hand side. If you can reach the crest of the hill it will add another 30 metres to your tee shot. All the trouble is right with bunkers. Anything left for an easier pitch up the green and a good birdie chance.
10th Hole - View this hole. Long par 4. Hug the left hand side for a shorter second shot, but watch that bunker. Down into a hollow and usually a mid iron. If however you go right off the tee you will add 60 metres to the hole. No tricks here. Only length.
11th Hole - View this hole. A little hollow at the front, but a deep bunker over the green to catch the aggressive is the only worry here.
12th Hole - View this hole. A tough tee shot here. Anything right goes down a steep hill into the trees. Anything too far left ends up in the pond. Straight a must here. Second shot to a very sloped green (left to right) where anything that is right or short of centre will roll well away and down the bank of the green to the right.
13th Hole - View this hole. Dogleg left. Nice straight drive between two tall gums. Aim at drinks hut or left. A short pitch to a raised green.
14th Hole - View this hole. Aim towards the bunker right for a lie. Second shot at the left hand side of the green into some hollows. Bunkered all down the right. A pitch on from anywhere left is the best play.
15th Hole - View this hole. Driver towards the bunker on the right. This green is elevated and on a 45o angle. A bunker at the front will catch anything short and anything right will bounce and roll away off the bank on the right. Play for the centre of the green here.
16th Hole - View this hole. Good chance for a birdie. A straight drive into a hollow off the tee but be careful of a creek on the right to catch the slicers. Another wood or long iron just right of centre will open up the green. If you are left pitch on the right half of the green or you may enter a deep bunker at the back. A difficult up and down for par from there.
17th Hole - View this hole. Long par 3. The bunker short left is actually about 15 metres short of the green not greenside. Play to the right. A large green. Long is safer.
18th Hole - View this hole. Sharp dogleg left. However watch the trees from the tee. Aim down the right. A second shot down to the green which is slightly raised. If you are short it will roll back down. Bunker right the full length of the green. Long green nearly 3 clubs.
