A gentle opening tee shot with lots of room if you avoid the two fairway bunkers leaving a short iron to a tricky green. The best approach is from the right hand side of the fairway. This is a hole to get your round started on the right footing.
A mid length par 3 from the middle or back tees. The tee shot demands precision and plays slightly uphill to a raised green. As with all holes on the Sandbelt, over the back should be avoided at all costs — this one is no exception.
This hole provides you an opportunity to open the shoulders a little. There is plenty of room left of the sandy waste that runs down the right hand side. The approach is slightly uphill to a raised green that slopes back to front and left to right.
A tricky par 4 dogleg left to right. A tee shot down the right hand side will be blocked from seeing the green, but a good tee on the fairway will give you a look at the green with a short iron. Beware — your ball will run on once it hits the green.
An uphill right‑to‑left dogleg par 4 that has been the ruin of many scorecards. A conservative tee to the corner will leave a mid‑iron approach to a gentle green. Two well‑played shots will have you smiling off this green.
Don’t be fooled by the short length of this hole. The best tee shot will challenge the right hand side of the fairway for the optimal line into the green. The green is one of the most exposed on the course and plays firm and fast. A precise wedge is required to have a chance at birdie.
The only hole on the course without a bunker around the green. It looks easy from the tee, but the mounding on the front of the green — which slopes from front to back and left to right — diverts any but the most precise tee shots. Par is a good score here.
The longest par 4 on the course plays uphill from the tee to the green. The landing area widens after you get through the shoot off the tee. A mid‑to‑long iron approach landing near the front of the green gives the best chance of making par — don’t get greedy shooting at a left pin.
For those who knew the old course, this hole is in the same place as the old tenth, though visually it’s completely different. A short par three usually plays into the prevailing wind. A good tee shot gives a decent chance at a birdie.
A straightaway par 4. It’s important to hit the fairway off this tee as there’s not much room if you stray. A short iron second requires precision to get close to the flag. Beware a front right pin — getting close is harder than it first appears.
The longest par 3 on the course and usually plays directly into a headwind. The smart golfer ignores the illusion bunker off the tee and lands it short of the green. Balls will feed onto, and to the right of, the front of the green.
A spectacular downhill par 3, already heralded as one of the best on the Sandbelt. Landing your tee shot on this green is risky as it brings over the back into play. A tee shot to the front edge and a couple putts will have you gaining on the field.
Another opportunity to open the shoulders off the tee. Be sure to note where the flag is before hitting. The approach here is much easier if you’re on the correct side of the fairway.
This mid length par 3 has a redan style green which slopes heavily left to right. A good tee shot into the middle leaves a tricky but makable birdie putt. Beware of hitting it over the back — getting up and down is tough.
A fantastic short par 4 where positioning off the tee far outweighs length. Challenge the lake on the right for the best line into the green. The green itself has a devilish false front and a lot of undulation.
A short, but not easy, uphill par 3. Depending on where the flag is located, you may not see the bottom of the pin. It may look like an easy birdie, but playing aggressively and missing can lead to bogey or worse.
A dogleg right‑to‑left par 4 with an uphill approach to an upturned saucer style green. The landing area off the tee slopes subtly left. Only the longest players try to challenge the corner — any misses usually result in chipping out of the trees.
While for some it’s a drivable par 4, most birdies are made from a wedge from the middle of the fairway. The green slopes heavily right to left so missing into the greenside bunkers will leave a challenging up and down. This hole is aptly named “Avago” and presents a good birdie opportunity.
