This dogleg left hole is lined by trees on both sides however the tee shot should favour the right side to avoid the bunker. Your approach is played with a six or seven iron slightly downhill and anything over the green will be severely punished.

A straight forward three shot hole played uphill and requiring accuracy as the fairway is flanked by bunkers. Following two solid wood shots, the golfer will be faced with a simple pitch shot to a big flat green and the opportunity of a birdie.

A well-struck medium to long iron will find the golfer safely on the green, which is protected by a deep bunker on the left.

Over the water hazard, accuracy and length is needed on this short par 5, preferably favouring the left hand side. A long iron to fairway wood to an undulated green guarded by two swails and a front right bunker should set up a relatively easy birdie opportunity.

- Stroke 13

A short par 4, to a green guarded by water on the right hand side and three bunkers on the left. The key here is to find the fairway on the right that will leave you with a short iron for your second. Longer hitters might go for the green, but par is a good score here.

Huge pine trees some 80 meters off the tee make for an intimidating drive. A left to right tee shot is required to set up a downhill approach to a large newly constructed green, with out of bounds long, a bunker on the right and a water hazard on the left. Golfers are happy to walk away with a par on this hole.
