COURSE GUIDE
HOLE 1
Blue 327m White 324m Yellow 318m Par 4 Index 12 Red 312m Par 4 Index 7
This is a nice opening hole which is a gentle dog-leg left. It requires a drive up the right of the fairway, avoiding well placed bunkers on the right and left. The elevated green is protected by bunkers either side.
______________________________________________
HOLE 2
Blue 392m White 388m Yellow 381m Par 4 Index 2 Red 293m Par 4 Index 15
Avoiding the bunker that hugs the left side of the fairway and the OBB that runs all the way up the left on this hole. The hole generally plays longer as it is uphill to a hidden elevated green protected by a bunker to the left front corner.
______________________________________________
HOLE 3
Blue 382m White 378m Yellow 343m Par 4 Index 4 Red 323m Par 4 Index 9
This hole is a deceptively difficult hole as the fairway slopes left to right, with trees on the right and well placed bunkers on the left side of the fairway. The second shot is played from a sloping lie to a narrow green that is protected by bunkers on the front corner.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 4
Blue 483m White 476m Yellow 472m Par 5 Index 18 Red 455m Par 5 Index 1
First and longest of the three Par 5s. The fairway slopes from right to left. The second shot requires avoiding the bunker on the left at 120 meters short from the green. The two tiered green is protected by bunkers front left and right.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 5
Blue 443m White 440m Yellow 435m Par 5 Index 14 Red 380m Par 5 Index 5
This hole is an uphill dogleg right Par 5 and is reachable in two shots. The drive needs to avoid two well placed bunkers up the right of the fairway. The second shot must avoid the nasty, well placed bunker some 90 meters short of the green. The narrow green is protected at the front right by a deep bunker.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 6
Blue 322m White 317m Yellow 313m Par 4 Index 6 Red 304m Par 4 Index 3
This hole is one of the most difficult on the course. It’s an uphill sharp dogleg right Par 4, with OBB all the way up the right side, and a fairway that slopes right to left. The bunker of the dogleg corner must be avoided. The green that slopes from back to front is protected by a bunker some 20 meters short, and two green side bunkers either side.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 7
Blue 334m White 330m Yellow 324m Par 4 Index 10 Red 318m Par 4 Index 13
This is a short downhill dogleg right, Par 4, which can be deceptive. Avoiding two well placed bunkers down the right side of the fairway. OBB lurks on either side of this hole. The small green is well protected by bunkers front left and right.

HOLE 8
Blue 194m White 191m Yellow 184m Par 3 Index 8 Red 180m Par 3 Index 17
This is a downhill Par 3 from an elevated tee to a generous size green, well protected by bunkers left and right. Anything short will kick left into the bunker.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 9
Blue 340m White 332m Yellow 322m Par 4 Index 16 Red 293m Par 4 Index 11
This is one of the easier holes on the course. Avoiding bunkers left and right side of the fairway sets you up for a shot to a narrow long green protected by bunkers either side.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 10
Blue 342m White 329m Yellow 324m Par 4 Index 7 Red 293m Par 4 Index 8
A very deceptively good Par 4, which doglegs to the right. Avoiding the bunker that is well placed down the right side of the fairway and OBB also on the right side of this hole. The green is protected by a bunker to the front right and back and trees that encroach and mounding to the left. This hole also features a stream that runs across the fairway some 50 meters short of this green.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 11
Blue 353m White 349m Yellow 341m Par 4 Index 11 Red 331m Par 4 Index 4
This is a relatively short up hill Par 4. Avoid well-placed bunkers on the left and right of the fairway. There is a large bunker some 20 meters short right and greenside bunkers on front left and back right side of the green. Avoid missing the green to the left as the fairway slopes severely down.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 12
Blue 389m White 386m Yellow 370m Par 4 Index 3 Red 359m Par 5 Index 18
A challenging Par 4. It is a dogleg right, and has a bunker to be avoided on the left side of the fairway. Bunkers both short and either side of this green make it difficult to hit. The green itself is long and narrow.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 13
Blue 361m White 350m Yellow 337m Par 4 Index 9 Red 318m Par 4 Index 6
This hole has OBB all the way up the right. It is one of the straightest holes on the course. Avoid the bunkers on the right side of the fairway and a group of trees at the driving distance on the left side of the fairway. The second shot is played to an elevated green protected by bunkers at both left and right front corners.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 14
Blue 299m White 286m Yellow 292m Par 4 Index 13 Red 252m Par 4 Index 16
This is a great feature hole. A short but treacherous Par 4. The tee shot is played across the cliffs to a slightly uphill fairway with the sea and OBB to the right and a large tree forest up the left. The fairway bunker at the right hand side of the fairway must be avoided too. A small narrow green, well protected by a deep bunker to the left side and a mound to the right.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 15
Blue 194m White 180m Yellow 164m Par 3 Index 5 Red 147m Par 3 Index 10
This is a Tiger Par 3, normally played into the prevailing wind. The longest of the Par 3s at 194 meters, it has a large water pond which eats up to the front left of the green. The green that has been cut out of a hill which surrounds the back of it like an amphitheatre is protected by bunkers front left and right.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 16
Blue 414m White 410m Yellow 402m Par 4 Index 1 Red 384m Par 5 Index 12
This is the longest of the Par 4s. a dogleg left. Avoid bunkers on the right of the fairway if you are going to be able to reach this green in two. A well protected two tiered green with bunkers short left and either side of the green make this a monster Par 4.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 17
Blue 113m White 111m Yellow 104m Par 3 Index 17 Red 94m Par 3 Index 14
The shortest hole on the course. An elevated tee shot to an extremely narrow green well protected by bunkers to the front. The green itself is flat but avoid overshooting as it slopes steeply downhill to OBB.
__________________________________________________________________
HOLE 18
Blue 458m White 455m Yellow 444m Par 5 Index 15 Red 438m Par 5 Index 2
A relatively short dogleg right Par 5, and is very reachable in two for the big hitter! OBB all up the left side of this hole. Avoid fairway bunkers 50 meters short of the green. The elevated well protected green has bunkers front left and right. Avoid overshooting as OBB is very close behind this green.
