| Hole 1 - PAR 4 |

| Professional's Tip |
The tee shot needs to be played right of center whilst avoiding the fairway bunkers on both sides of the landing area. The club chosen for the second shot will depend on the pin position on this well protected & sloping green, and with freen-side bunkers on the right, it is safer to hit to the left side of the green. Straight forwardat first glance but to open with a par will be the start to good day's golf. |

| Hole 2 - PAR 4 |
| Tees & Meters |
|
| |
| Professional's Tip |
The right side is preferable off the tee as it gives you a clear shot at the green for your second shot. Anything left will leave you with a tough second shot or in the fairway bunker. A second shot must be played to the center of the green gives you an easier chance to make par due to the green-sidebunkers on the left & right.

| Tees & Meters |
|
| |
| Professional's Tip |
Keep tee shots down the right side unless you are a long hitter as this side of the fairway offers you a better chance of good placement of the second shot at the same time avoiding the deep fairway bunker on the left side of the landing area. The approach to this narrow green is the true challenge due to it being so well guarded by green-side bunkers on both sides. Making a par here is most satisfying. |

| Hole 4 - PAR 4 |
| Tees & Meters |
|
| |
| Professional's Tip |
There is more space to the right side of the fairway center line than you might think, so aim middle or right of middle off the tee to this narrow fairway. The approach must carry over a large green-side bunker on the right of the green. A large green, well contoured is a good test for even the most skilled of putters.

| Hole 5 - PAR 4 |
| Tees & Meters |
|
| |
| Professional's Tip |
An extremely testing par 4. An accurately judged tee shot laying-up short of the lake protecting the front of the green gives you a better chance of getting close to the pin with your second shot. The green is long but narrow and the left side is positioned along the lake edge while the right side is well bunkered, don't let the relative shortness of this hole fool you into believing a birdie is a certainty. |

| Hole 6 - PAR 3 |
| Tees & Meters |
|
| |
| Professional's Tip |
This hole features a large green of over 1,000 m2, so if the pin is to the back make sure you have selected enough club. Take note of the strong cross wind that blows across this island green. There is no room to miss the green as it lies in a sea of white sand bunkers.

| Hole 7 - PAR 4 |
| Tees & Meters |
|
| |
| Professional's Tip |
Position is important on this long slightly up-hill par 4, and there is more room to the left off the tee than you might think. Avoiding the fairway bunker to the right of the landing area is essential. Make sure your second shot has enough distance to reach the various pin placements as this is a very long green with a very deep swale in front well protected by bunkers on both sides. |
|
| Hole 8 - PAR 3 |
| Tees & Meters |
|
| |
| Professional's Tip |
One of the prettiest and most demanding Par 3's anywhere. Although missing the green to the right is the safer option, the grassy hollows and long narrow green call for an accurate pitch. To the left there is a deep water way which will catch any wayward ball. Trees around the green make a perfect backdrop to this well bunkered green.

| Hole 9 - PAR 5 |
| Tees & Meters |
|
| |
| Professional's Tip |
Aiming centre or left centre of the fairway from the tee will give you a clearer second shot while avoiding the tough-deep fairway bunker. The second shot requires precision with placement as the small landing area is surrounded by more-deep fairway bunkers. From the second landing area you will be faced with a short iron into a long, double stage green of over 1,300 m2 in size which is well protected by traditional pot bunkers to the rear and large green-side bunkers left and right. |
|
| Hole 10 - PAR 4 |
| Tees & Meters |
|
| |
| Professional's Tip |
Unless you hit a good drive, it may be advisable to lay up with your second. if your tee shot is long enough to almost reach the bunker on the right side of the fairway landing area then you have an opportunity to play to reach this well bunkered and long green. if not, a short iron will leave you a short pitch in. Water to the left side of the fairway may catch a wayward tee shot, so if you're going to "have a go" at crossing the water mass, then "give it plenty"
