The first hole is the longest Par 5 on the golf course. It doglegs slightly to the left with a generous landing area, and a well placed tee shot down the left centre opens up the fairway for your second shot. The two fairway bunkers (between 200 – 240 yards) on the right side should be avoided.

The second hole is a straight away Par 4. Trees on the left and right come into play from the tee, so make sure to check the pin position. You may want to be on the left or right side of the fairway for the best angle. At times, the second shot can be a bit tricky depending on the wind.

The third hole may be short but it’s not easy. The fairway doglegs sharply left and is split in half by a ditch, and the green is guarded by a sod-faced bunker, just like the ones in Scotland. Calculate the distance to the 100 yard marker (Red Pole) and lay up to that area. Be careful here with the wind as it will affect you approach shot. Make sure to choose a little more club for your second shot.

The fourth hole is a long dogleg right Par 4, with a narrow landing area guarded by trees on your left and two fairway bunkers on your right (190 – 240 from the tee). A good tee shot is important in order to score well on this slightly uphill hole. Try to keep your second shot to the right centre of the green, as a shot missed to the left will give a player problems.

The fifth hole has a massive, three-tiered green that is 44 yards deep, guarded by bunkers left and right. A large stump on the right side of the green can come into play, and a front to back pin position can vary up to three club selections.

The sixth hole is a decision hole for the longer hitter. The narrow green (19 yds deep by 34 yds wide) can be a tempting target to get there in two. Your tee shot is protected by two fairway bunkers, one left, one right, and both are reachable from the teeing area. The lake guarding the green comes into play, so be careful with your second shot. Stay left and leave a full shot into the green for the birdie attempt.

The seventh hole is a short Par 4 that demands proper placement from the tee and a carry of 130 yds. is necessary to clear the water hazard. A tee shot of 180 – 200 yards puts the player in an ideal position for a second shot to the large green.

The eighth hole is a great Par 3 that will test your long iron or fairway wood tee shot. This long, narrow green (17 yds wide by 40 yds deep) challenges the best of players. Play your tee shot to the middle of the green, as bunkers left, right and at the back are a factor.

The ninth hole is a slight dogleg to the right, with two fairway bunkers left and trees with mounding down the entire right side. A well placed tee shot down the left centre of this fairway gives the player the best angle to this undulating green. A poor tee shot to the right will certainly result in a bogey or worse.

The tenth hole is short but challenging from tee to green. A lateral water hazard on the left side of this hole tests your tee shot, and a fairway bunker 220 yds on the right side may come into play. A safe shot down to the 150 yd marker is your best option. The 10th green is pitched hard left to right, so be careful with your second shot as the wind, normally right to left, will affect your approach.

The eleventh hole is a 186 yd Par 3 with a lake guarding the left side of the hole. The wind swirls in this end of the golf course, so be careful with your club selection. The right club is crucial in your ability to make a par.

The twelfth hole is a Par 5 dogleg left with a long fairway bunker on the left side of the fairway (215 yds from the tee). Bunkers to the left and right of the green catch many shots and are difficult to execute good shots from. Lay up to 100-120 yds if you can’t reach the green in two, as you will have a better view of the pin from that yardage.

The thirteenth hole is a long dogleg left Par 4 that requires a good tee shot down the right centre of the fairway. Good idea to use one more club for your approach shot, as anything that comes up short of the green usually stays short. Note: If you have time, have a look at the tee shot on hole 13 from the black coloured tee.

The fourteenth hole is a short but tricky Par 4. A tee shot of 200 yds will give you the best angle to the pin and also keep you short of a large mound that covers the left centre of the fairway. An elevated green makes iron selection difficult.

This is a medium length Par 4 that’s usually downwind. Make sure you favour the left side of the green on your approach shot, as the lake on the right side is in play.

The 16th hole is a short Par 3 with a right to left crosswind. Your shot must carry and stay left of the lake that is guarding the green.

The 17th hole is a slight uphill Par 5 that can be reached in two shots for the longer hitters. A well-placed tee shot down the right side of the fairway is important, whether your second shot can reach the green or not. Careful, as there is an out of bounds area on this hole.

The 18th hole is a great finishing hole. It’s most likely that if you have a match with someone in your group and you are tied, one of the players is sure to win. A tee shot down the left centre of this fairway gives the player the best angle to the green. There are three large cedar trees protecting the right side of the green and out of bounds down the left side. Making a par on this hole will keep you in a great frame of mind for the 19th hole.
