The most difficult hole on the course, this 410 yard hole favours long ball hitters. The fairway which is lined by trees on the left for the first 200 yards opens up to a spacious landing area. With the target area left of center and the fairway sloping left to right.; a tee shot to the right can lead to trouble. The second shot to a small green lined by trees on both sides is difficult but a shot short of the green would not be bad and bogie is considered a reasonable score. |

This beautiful 270 yard Par 4 is reachable with a good drive. The best choice off the tee is a five wood or an iron, to avoid the out of bounds on the left and a lateral water hazard on the right. The green is protected by a sand trap on the left that should not come into play except off the tee. A water hazard to the right and a gathering area to the left make the approach shot to this green delicate, for an easy birdie or a tough par. |

Club selection is key on this 153 yard Par 3. Because of the elevated green the tee shot may take two clubs more than you might think. A ball hit short will roll back down the hill and leave you with an 80 yard shot to the green. A shot to the right can lead to disaster. Take the time while on this green to look at the view. |
