Hole by Hole

	HOLE 1 371 metres Par 4 A short par 4 with a wide fairway and a view of the Linksfield ridge. Will set you up for a great day.
	HOLE 2 493 metres Par 5 A 90 degree dogleg to the right uphill to a tiered green. Be sure to avoid the fairway bunker 80 m short of the green.
	HOLE 3 427 metres Par 4 Downhill, a big dogleg to the left with trees guarding the left corner and a bunker at 240 metres to catch the drive that is too long and straight. A pond guards the front left of the green and a bunker the front right. This stroke 3 is no little brother of the stroke 1.
	HOLE 4 356 metres Par 4 The Jukskei is crossed on the drive and then the stream follows the hole along the left, fronts the green and is dammed up on its right. The second is played off a right to left slope with dam and willow right and bunker left to catch the slope induced draw.
	HOLE 5 111 metres Par 3 A tiered green, tricky pin positions and water fronting the green can make this pretty little hole a lot tougher than the distance suggests.
	HOLE 6 374 metres Par 4 A drive across a large dam, an uphill dogleg left to a pin whose bottom is hidden. Trees on the left corner and a bunker right call for a straight drive and the uphill approach to a tight green is never easy.
	HOLE 7 452 metres Par 4 The stroke 1. Out of bounds all along the right and a ball gobbler 180 metres out on the left calls to the hooker. Jacarandas that surround and guard the tiered green make for a pretty show in November.
	HOLE 8 217 metres Par 3 A variety of tee boxes can make the hole play from 160 to 217 metres. A small, tricky green with a fall off to the left and a bank of chunky veld grass to the right make this a hole that anyone is happy to get a three on.
	HOLE 9 507 metres Par 5 A straight forward par 5 to take you to the halfway house. A bunker in front of the green prevents a low shot from running on. A tier runs from front to back down the middle of the green making it important to hit it on the same side as the pin.
	HOLE 10 392 metres Par 4 A short opening par 4. The right-left slope of the fairway and the trees on the right must be negotiated. One of the course architect’s characteristic ploys of a slope and closely mown fringe taking the too-strongly struck shot off the green is in evidence back left here.
	HOLE 11 347 metres Par 4 A short but accurately struck shot is needed off the tee to prevent the ball from finding the water on the right. Water fronting and running along the left of a steeply sloping green make the 11th difficult despite its length.
	HOLE 12 412 Metres Par 4 A long hole, slightly uphill with the tee shot being threatened by water on the right and trees on the left. A long, narrow, tiered green and a ball gobbler back left make this deservedly the stroke 2.
	HOLE 13 189 metres Par 3 A down hill shot to a large green. The size of the green and the gradient make club selection difficult.
	HOLE 14 434 metres Par 4 A dogleg left with water on the left all the way from the tee to the green. Play from the fairway is off a right/left hanging lie with two bunkers front right and one back left. One bunker front left awaits the timid or the fat shot.
	HOLE 15 493 metres Par 5 The fifteenth is a straight par 5, guarded off the tee by a dam on the left. Anybody bailing out right will find their second shot obstructed by trees, forcing a lay up short of the 2nd dam that cuts the fairway. The small undulating green will keep you concentrating to the end.
	HOLE 16 160 metres Par 3 An interesting par 3 where the angle of the green makes choosing your club very important - not enough and you'll find yourself in the dam fronting the green, too much and you'll be playing back towards the dam from a tough downhill lie.
	HOLE 17 348 metres Par 4 A short par 4 where long-hitters can get close to the green. A drive too far left is blocked by trees and hitting the small green from a hanging lie is not easy. The bunker on the right is well placed to catch anything with a fade.
	HOLE 18 480 metres Par 5 An enticing par 5 to finish, the temptation is always to get close to the corner of this dogleg right. Get this wrong, however, and you'll be punching your second shot out of the trees. If you find the fairway you'll be left with a straightforward shot slightly uphill to the green.
