Hole
10, Par

(400
m)
Rated one on the card. Dog leg to left requires a well placed tee shot. The brave can take on the trees on the left which if successful, will provide an open shot to the green. If not, trouble with trees. The less adventurous will play hole as a dog leg. Bunker on right just short of green is the only hazard.
Hole

m)
A birdie hole should tee shot not find the fairway bunker on the left. Fairway undulating and has dune appearance. Bunkers on right side of green but otherwise open. Can be reached in two.

(348
m)
A creek runs across the bottom end of the fairway and is 263m from the tee and 64m from front of green. Tee shot should fall short of creek which allows for a clear approach shot to the green. Trees both sides of the fairway come into play as do two large bunkers on right side of green.
Hole
18, Par

(389
m)
With a view of the clubhouse in the background, the fairway is long and straight. Trees line both sides of the fairway and present difficulty if tee shot is wayward. Bunker on right side of green and grassed mounds on the right, left and at back of green, necessitate an accurate approach shot.
