HOLE#10
The primary feature of the 10th hole, a 481m par 5, is a meandering
waterway which transverses its length. At the first landing area.
A lake encroaches from the left and threatens to swallow the pulled
or hooked tee shot. As the player approaches the green, a meandering
stream diagonally bisects the fairway, creating two target areas.
The green itself is protected by a pond in front and a nest of bunkers
located to the left. The moderate length of this hole makes it realistic
birdie opportunity for most players.
HOLE#11
Successfully negotiating one's drive is the key to success on
the 362 m, par 4, 11th hole. Although the fairway appears narrow
due to grass depression on the right and bunkers on the left,
plenty of room exists in the average player's landing area. From
here, the second shot plays to a green flanked in the front by
bunkers and grassy hollows at the back right. Bogey or worse will
be recorded by those who fire at these difficult pin areas and
fail to hit the mark.
HOLE#12
The 12th hole is a short par 3 measuring only 160m but it may
be the most interesting. The oblong green is nestled between the
densely vegetated hillside to the left and two bunkers below the
green on the right. Overhanging trees 50m from the green create
additional difficulty. Proper club selection and straight hitting
are imperative on this hole.
HOLE#13
At 390m, the dogleg right 13th hole tests each player's long and
short game. The drive must be solidly struck to permit a long
iron second shot to the green. For those who are capable of maneuvering
their golf ball in flight, a slight draw is the approach shot
of choice as it takes the water to the left of the green out of
play. Having reached the safety of the green, a deft putting touch
is required to negotiate the blood contouring. Par here will almost
certainly win this hole.
HOLE#14
This 14th hole measures 155m par 3, offers an experience for all
levels of players. Grass hollows border the right side putting
surface while a bunker is located to the left. However, when the
pin is in the right front or left rear, the water is directly
in play and high scores await those who miss the mark.
HOLE#15
The dogleg right, par 4, 15th hole which measures 308m, provides
an excellent birdie opportunity. Despite the water to the right,
plenty of fairway exists for the player's tee shot. The short
approach is then played to receptive green fronted by a single
bunker. For tournaments, the pin may be positioned in the left
front which will directly bring the sand into play.
HOLE#16
The 325, 16th hole is a classic example of a great, short par
4. grass depressions dot the left side of the hole and bunkers
pinch the fairway to the narrowest of reasonable margins at the
landing area. The short approach is complicated y two yawning
bunkers in front of the green and a shallow surface. Despite the
diminutive nature of this hole, par must be earned and birdie
will be exceptional.
HOLE#17
The elevated tee of the 360m, 17th hole provides a dramatic beginning
to this par 4 hole. Bunkers left will narrow the landing area,
with water on the right. The preferred approach comes from the
left side of the fairway. This double green is guarded with a
large bunker in the right front and the price of failure could
be bogey or worse. The large range of scores that can be made
on this hole guarantees an exciting conclusion to the course.
HOLE#18
The home hole is a 456m, par 5, which doglegs to the left. A bunker
will catch those who pull their drive, while water will catch
the more errant shot to the right. From the left side of the fairway,
the green can be reached in two with a well struck fairway wood
- its yield an eagle putt. However, attacking the pin on this
hole could prove perilous, as water demands a force carry to reach
the putting surface and deep pot bunkers at the rear collect the
long ball. A heroic conclusion to a round of golf.
