Hole 1
Hole 1 Par 4 HCP 16
  • 390 Yards
  • 380 Yards
  • 364 Yards
  • 326 Yards
A relatively gentle opening - until you reach the green! A well-executed tee shot of about 220 yards (from the blue tee) will avoid the large traps on the left and palm trees beyond the fairway. UpHills approach to the green should be kept short and right of the hole, as putts from the back left can be extremely fast.

Hole 2
Hole 2 Par 3 HCP 8
  • 218 Yards
  • 204 Yards
  • 182 Yards
  • 123 Yards
A demanding Par 3. A water hazard runs the length of the hole on the left, with large sand traps surrounding the green. Many players come up short or fail to judge the direction of cross-winds - look at the tops of the trees and the water surface! Again, extremely fast from the middle of the green to the front. A lofted wood will generally be more forgiving than a long iron for most golfers.

Hole 3
Hole 3 Par 4 HCP 2
  • 449 Yards
  • 400 Yards
  • 382 Yards
  • 368 Yards
The fairway is narrow, tree lined and uphill all the way on this longest Par 4 on the course. The giant Calabash tree dictates play. Accurate drives will select a right or left route up the fairway as second shots from the centre will require shaping round the tree. The length of the green makes checking the pin position essential in club selection.

Hole 4
Hole 4 Par 4 HCP 18
  • 407 Yards
  • 354 Yards
  • 341 Yards
  • 326 Yards
The tee shot must carry the mounds (over 200 yards from the blue tee) to avoid a blind shot to well bunkered green. Longer hitters should favour the right side. Except at the front of the green, this is one of the few holes where putts break less than you think!

Hole 5
Hole 5 Par 4 HCP 4
  • 398 Yards
  • 374 Yards
  • 354 Yards
  • 336 Yards
Accuracy from the tee is vital. OB runs from tee to green on the left. This fairway slopes towards a deep hollow on the right so a right-to-left tee shot is ideal. Approach shots to the front to back sloping, two-level green, tend to bounce forward and right. Downhill putts to or on the lower level are some of the fastest on the course.

Hole 6
Hole 6 Par 5 HCP 12
  • 556 Yards
  • 540 Yards
  • 520 Yards
  • 499 Yards
For long hitters, reaching the green is only possible if the drive is struck perfectly over the Flame tree to the right side of the fairway and the second shot is right-to-left around the dogleg. For others, drive between the Flame tree and the towering coconut palms on the left, then hit over the water, taking careful note of the distance to and over the bunkers. The two-level green is normally very fast from back to front.

Hole 7
Hole 7 Par 3 HCP 6
  • 205 Yards
  • 188 Yards
  • 172 Yards
  • 153 Yards
There is a blind bunker guarding the green on the front left and another deep bunker at front right. The green slopes steeply from the left to right so getting up and down from the left side is almost impossible! From the front, putts will be fast with more break than you think. If you miss the green, better to miss it long!

Hole 8
Hole 8 Par 4 HCP 10
  • 412 Yards
  • 395 Yards
  • 380 Yards
  • 372 Yards
Only a long and well placed drive favouring the right side will give a clear view of this well guarded three-level green. Do not attempt to carry the trap on the left from the tee- there is another lurking behind it! Check the pin position and yardage carefully to land your approach on the correct level to give yourself a birdie chance!

Hole 9
Hole 9 Par 5 HCP 14
  • 561 Yards
  • 526 Yards
  • 490 Yards
  • 464 Yards
Take care with the tee shot. There are two more traps behind the one you can see on the right of the fairway. Conservative play produces many pars and some birdies. Only try to carry the water if you are sure you can hit the target. The green is very undulating and fast from back to front.
