Hole 1 - Par 3
A downhill pitch to a small green guarded by a pond. This is a
scenic starting hole, where feel for distance is at a premium.
Long is safer than short!
Hole 2 - Par 3
Only a good strike will reward the player on this testing hole.
The tee and green are at the same elevation but between is a
tree-lined stream, which must be carried. The green is
protected by a frontal sand trap. Par is a good score here.
Hole 3 - Par 3
An uphill shot to a green defended by a deep frontal sand trap.
The ability to flight the ball high will gain rewards here.
Hole 4 - Par 3
A fine par 3, which enjoys a superb cork tree, short left of
the green. A gentle draw on to the undulating green is the
safest shot. Two sand traps to the right, luck to catch the
push or slice.
Hole 5 - Par 3
Reversing direction to the east, this is another test of
accuracy. The green set in mounds, is protected by a sand trap
on the front right.
Hole 6 - Par 3
A downhill pitch to a green, which is not deep. Traps at the
front and rear add to the need for good judgement of distance.
Any over-hit shot will land in the stream behind the green.
Hole 7 - Par 3
The pleasant walk over a bridge brings the player to the
demanding 7th. A long shot along a plateau with the green in a
bowl below. Small pines and a sand trap, guard the front of the
green. Any shot realign the green is a very good one!
Hole 8 - Par 3
Heading to the North in the direction of the attractive Club
House, this hole requires a solidly struck shot. Two sand traps
guard the front and left of the green. Friendly banking will
help the shot which is only slightly off-line, but will add to
the difficulty of the second shot, for any stoke more than
twenty metres from the target.
Hole 9 - Par 3
Running parallel to the 1st hole, the pond is again in play.
There is 'bale-out' space on the right but a tricky chip then
faces the faint-hearted. The rear left of the green sports a
sand trap, to make any left of centre flag position, a test
of carry distance.
