A reasonably friendly opening hole with an emphasis
of accuracy and not distance.

Hopefully you are all relaxed after a good start as the tee shot on the 2nd hole is probably the most demanding on the course.

A well bunkered hole puts the premium on accuracy.
A picturesque par 3 with the obvious trouble in water flanking the entire right side. With bunkering only behind the green, a shot erring on the short side is a safer play.
The longest hole on the course and finally a little pressure is taken off the tee shot with a generously sized fairway.
A relatively short dogleg left hole. Although the fairway boasts a reasonable landing area, be careful as an errant shot left or right could result in an unplayable lie or water hazard.
One of the longer Par 4's on the course, doglegging from left to right. A strong tee shot preferably with a fade is required to comfortably reach the green.
A very reachable Par 5 but still with its elements of danger. With water up the entire left side of the hole and two fairway bunkers right, a straight tee shot is a must to reach the generous green.
Being the longest Par 3 on the course it will require a long iron or rescue to give a birdie putt.
Another long straight hole. A lone fairway bunker left is reachable with a good tee shot so the ideal shot is to shape your tee shot from left to right away from the bunker.
A lovely yet sneaky hole. Emphasis is on placement from the tee. A drawing long iron or rescue will place you in the widest part of the fairway and leaving a pitch to the hole.
This hole presents two options- the tempting heroic shot or the safe two-shotter.
A short Par 5 where the tee shot holds the key. The longer hitters, if selecting a driver, must hit a hook off the tee to find the fairway. This will make the green easily reachable in two shots. The smarter play though is to hit a fairway wood from the tee to avoid driving through the fairway or reaching the water.
Another dogleg to the left. A little of the corner can be taken on unless the wind is blowing into your face. The green is well protected by bunkers.
Quite a short hole but deceptive, particularly from the tee. Seeing an apparent wall of bunkers, it is hard to know which are reachable. The longer hitters will reach all bunkers on the left and will carry the bunker on the left, so a shot moving left to right is ideal. For the normal length hitters, aiming at the left bunkers should be a good line and keep you out of the sole bunker on the right. Beware of the pin postition, as this green has a few tiers and ridges to negotiate.
Quite a devilish hole. Similar to the previous hole, this green has numerous ridges and tiers but is guarded by bunkers left and right. If the pin is at the back, you must either take on the bunkers or be faced with a long undulating putt.
A hole not long in length but plenty treacherous. Generally a driver is required off the tee and ideally shaped left to right. Overdoing the fade will find a watery grave however. A nicely positioned drive on the fairway will still require a shot to carry the water that guards the green right up to its edge.
An awesome grand finale hole. The number of sad stories and ruined scorecards I've heard because of the 18th are too numerous to count. The tee shot is a little demanding with water left and trees right.
