| 1 |
Missing the fairway traps sets up an uphill pitch requiring good length judgment. |
| 2 |
Another testing drive to set up an approach shot from the angle of the dogleg. Favour the right side with your second shot. |
| 3 |
A chance for a strong tee shot downhill. Still requires a good touch on the high flighted second shot. |
| 4 |
One of the world's great par-5 holes. Lots of ways to play it but all basically need straight measured shots. |
| 5 |
Choose your club and make a positive good swing. Not for the nervous! |
| 6 |
A well positioned tee shot to the corner of the left hand dogleg leaves an iron shot to reach the green. |
| 7 |
A testing and picturesque par-3 that requires a carrying shot to reach the green. |
| 8 |
A draw shot round the dogleg or a lay up level with the fairway bunkers sets up a testing pitch shot. |
| 9 |
Look to see the direction of the wind because the carry over the trees needs the wind from behind. The second shot is deceptive to a long green. |
| 10 |
A sharp dogleg right requiring a precise drive and then an accurate mid-iron. |
| 11 |
Make a good carrying strike as it is better to be long than short. |
| 12 |
Reachable in two with the right wind. A testing green to hit with any club. |
| 13 |
A deceptive short-iron when you make a good tee shot. |
| 14 |
Can be reached in two, and if not, try approaching the green from left to right. |
| 15 |
Great downhill par-3. A good strike saves the player from a sandy fate! |
| 16 |
The bunkers and trees on the right of the fairway are to be avoided. Uphill short-iron plays long. |
| 17 |
Another test of shot making or more time on the beach! |
| 18 |
A true par-5, anything long and straight works on all three shots and will see you safely home. |
