1st Hole 472 Metres - Par 5
A par-5 with an open fairway needs the Driver off the tee. Quite
strategically placed is the bunker on the right so keep safely to
the left side of the fairway. Use a 4-Iron, playing it to a safe
position ready for the next shot as you are still left with bunkers
around the apron of the green. A Pitching Wedge will place you on
the green and close to the pin.
2nd Hole 133 Metres - Par 3
Club selection is of prime importance as wind and sand can upset
the result of your shot. An 8-Iron is normally the best choice of
club.
3rd Hole 357 Metres - Par 4
This hole is a dogleg to the right so play this shot to the right
hand side of the fairway with a 5-Wood and avoiding the inviting
left hand side bunker. A firm 7-Iron will place you on the green.
4th Hole 201 Metres - Par 3
This par-3 hole requires a 5-Iron. To avoid the water aim to the
left of the middle of the green.
5th Hole 315 Metres - Par 4
On this hole you must carry the water and you need a strong Driver
to clear as much of this water as possible. A 6-Iron to the left of
the centre of the green will continue to keep you away from the
water.
6th Hole 300 Metres - Par 4
Using the Driver aim to right of the fairway to keep away from the
bunker on the left hand side. Choose your Pitching Wedge to place you
on the green and near to the pin. Too strong a shot and over the
green will take you into all sorts of trouble.
7th Hole 321 Metres - Par 4
A Driver aimed to the right side of the fairway will keep you clear
of the two bunkers on the left of the fairway. Use a 9-Iron and aim
for the centre of the green as the green is comfortably long but
quite narrow in width. An accurate shot is definitely needed.
8th Hole 476 Metres - Par 4
A Driver aimed straight up the fairway to land between the two
leading bunkers. This will place you in good position for the next
shot on this par-5 with a dogleg to the left. A 3-Wood aimed
slightly to the left side between the inviting bunkers on both sides
of the fairway. Club selection is important and a 9 Iron will place
you on the green which is tight on length.
9th Hole 378 Metres - Par 4
An inviting open looking fairway makes good use of your Driver.
However, a bunker awaits you on the left and the water hazard awaits
you if you hit too far to the right. Suggest a 4-Iron and aim to the
left of centre of the green depending of the position of the flag.
Water is still awaiting you if you carry too much to the right and
remember the green is quite narrow. At this hole you are back at the
clubhouse.
10th Hole 484 Metres - Par 5
A strong Driver will help you miss the bunker on the left side of the
fairway. Using a 3-Wood aim for the big carob tree located in front
and to the right side of the line to the green. Club selection is very
important and a 9-Iron will place you close to the pin bearing in mind
that the green is short in length.
11th Hole 374 Metres - Par 4
As this is a gentle dogleg to the left a Driver aimed towards the left
hand side bunker should place you in a good position for the next
stroke. Use a 4-Iron to take you to the centre of the small green and
beware of the inviting bunkers that surround it.
12th Hole 178 Metres - Par 3
In order to play this Par 3 you need careful club selection if the wind
is strong. A 5 Iron will carry the 120 metres of water but accuracy is
also very important as the Green is quite tight in size!
13th Hole 405 Metres - Par 4
Use a Driver aimed to the right of the bunker on the left side of the
fairway. A 5-Wood should be aimed slightly to the right of the centre
of the green.
14th Hole 346 Metres - Par 4
This hole is a dogleg to the right of almost 90ŗ with water on the right
hand side all the way to the green. A very straight shot off the tee
with a 3-Iron will place you in the right position. Again club selection
is important and an 8 Iron will place you on this short green.
15th Hole 507 Metres - Par 5
Use your Driver to place you between the water on the left and the bunker
on the right. Choose your 3 Wood and aim some 30 metres to the left of
the green in order to safely carry the water. An 8-Iron will take you up
onto the green but watch out for the corner of the water hazard that
still lies to the right in your line of play.
16th Hole 354 Metres - Par 4
The open fairway awaits your Driver so aim straight up the middle. As this
green is surrounded by bunkers use a very accurate 6-Iron.
17th Hole 155 Metres - Par 3
A very challenging par-3 hole. A well placed 6 Iron will keep you out of
trouble. If you land a little short or to the left you are in the water
hazard. A little to right of the green you are in a bunker that has a high
lip to overcome. When in this bunker you are faced with a green that slopes
gently away from you down to the water on the left of the green!
18th Hole 377 Metres - Par 4
This hole this is a fairly open fairway back to the clubhouse. Use your
Driver aimed a little to the left of a carob tree on the fairway that tends
to block your view to the green. Use a 5-Iron and be tempted to aim for the
middle of the green regardless of the Bunker that lies in front of its
apron. A good putt will immediately qualify you for that well deserved drink
back in the clubhouse.
