Tough opening par 4 to start your round, important to find the left centre of this sloping fairway, to enable you to have the best approach shot to the green as missing the green to the left or long with your approach shot will prove costly.
There are now 3 fairway bunkers which makes the tee shot so much more important to find the fairway as finding one of the fairway bunkers will make reaching the green with your second shot far more difficult. Long of the green will possibly incur a reload from where you last hit.
Club selection is vital to this well protected elevated par 3 green. Long of the green is better than playing from one of the three deep greenside bunkers short.
S.I. 1 dog-leg left par 4, 2 ponds to carry if you dare to cut the corner, a well-placed fairway bunker must be avoided to enable the golfer to avoid the ditch that runs across the fairway 50 yards from the green.
This newly re designed hole is a short par 4 but no means easy, ensure to leave yourself a good yardage left for your second shot, with water short and OB long, and the green only 17 yards long at its widest means a tough approach shot will await you.
A newly added lake greenside of this dog-leg par 5 means the tee shot must be down the left hand side of the fairway to give you any chance of taking on this reachable par 5 in 2.
Difficult par 4, not because of its length, but be sure to take care once on the green. Long drivers will quite easily find the pine straw on the left side of the hole with a slightly wayward tee shot.
Are you brave enough to take on the lake? Those who do and carry it then make this a really good birdie chance, those who don’t carry it make a par 5 very tough.
Nice par 3 to finish the front nine, not that it is easy in the slightest. Long and left leaves a very uphill recovery chip. You can use the slope on the right to guide it on, but centre of the green is a sure way to give yourself a chance at birdie.
Tee shot is key; a ball finding the bottom of the slope on the right side of the fairway will create the best angle to this very narrow green. OB all down the left.
Tough uphill par 3 playing at least 15-20 yards longer than the tees. The green sloping very heavily back to front meaning all puts on the green will be tricky. Leaving an uphill putt or chip just short of the green may be a sensible way to play this hole.
Keep left off the tee to open up your approach shot to this tricky two tier green. Go right off the tee and you'll be reloading.
A glorious view awaits you at this testing short par 3. Trouble left/right and long so make sure you hit the green or land short to roll on.
Long straight-ish par 5, tee shot is the key, only take enough club to land at the top of the brow, as a sloping fairway to left and out of bounds to the right make a very tough tee shot. Almost a guaranteed three shotter to the green.
A glorious view awaits you on the tee, but don’t let this cloud your mind when deciding what club to take, a driver brings in the two new fairway bunkers on the right hand side of the fairway, and anything left in danger of being lost.
Short par 3, protected by a dry moat, a great birdie opportunity here if you can find the green from the tee shot.
Decision time! An aggressive tee shot over the out of bounds can find the green setting up an eagle putt for the brave. An iron to the corner and a wedge on is the safe way to play this hole.
Great finishing hole, a fantastic view awaits you to this 400 foot drop in elevation, in the summer months a driveable green for all as the slopes will take the ball down to the front of the green. Do not go long or a water hazard awaits!
