The 2nd is a 178 yard par 3 and the first of the par 3 feature holes on the course. From the elevated tee over the pond to the elevated green which is well protected by 3 bunkers. A stray ball to the right of the green takes you out of bounds. The green is tricky with large slopes and borrows.

The 3rd is a 312 yard par 4 with tree plantations on either side of the narrow fairway. The approach to the green, whilst short from a reasonable tee shot, requires accuracy.

The 4th is a 509 yard par 5 slightly doglegged left. The ‘elephant trap’ to the right of the fairway on the elbow catches many players on their second shot although big hitters can also be caught out from the tee. The left hand side of the fairway is out of bounds. The green approach is downhill with a sand trap to the side where the ball runs through from a right-handed approach.

The 7th hole is a short uphill 301 yard par 4. Approximately 200 yards from the tee to the left of the fairway is a grassed ravine to catch stray tee shots. This ravine also narrows the approach to the green.

The 11th hole is the longest of the par 4s at 460 yards and is stroke index 1 on the card. Once again there are tree plantations at strategic locations along both sides of the fairway. Four bunkers protect the approach to the green. The green is one of the larger greens and has a depth of 29 yards.

The 12th hole is a tricky par 4. It is 336 yard in length and doglegged left. Driving accuracy is all important here too far to the left of the fairway gives a blind shot to the green. Too far to the right and the ball is in the trees. The green is approached over a ditch running across the fairway immediately in front of the green making it difficult to punch a low approach shot out of the trees. The green is narrow and set on two levels.

The 13th is another of the magnificent par 3s. From an elevated tee shot over a section of the lake to an elevated green some 170 yards away. There is a bunker immediately to the front of the green to catch short tee shots.

The 15th hole is the shortest of the par 4’s at only 292 yards. The tee shot is over a ditch with the edge of the pond around 200 yards from the tee on the right had side. The elevated green is approached through a narrow fairway with trees on either side. Although the shortest hole it’s stroke index is 13.

The 421 yard par 4 17th is another left handed dogleg. It is tree lined all the way down the left hand side of the fairway with a small copse on the right hand side at tee shot distance. The green is tucked away in the corner and protected by bunkers on either side of the approach.

The 18th which is another short par 4 of only 304 yards in length. However driving accuracy is once again important. The fairway is narrow too far to the left makes the approach shot to the green tricky. A long tee shot may well find the bunker across the fairway only 48 yards from the green.
