Your tee shot, sometimes even with an iron, must be kept up the right side to make the approach over the water easier. The green
A world class Par 4 Stroke 1. There is a lot more fairway than there appears to be from the tee but, with out of
A very short but under-rated Par 3. Take extra time whilst on the tee to absorb the magnificent ocean view! Bunkers surround the green. Be
A very short Par 4 that can be driven but this is not always the right decision! If the length of the hole doesn’t get
A short Par 5 with a fairway that slopes severely to the right, makes for a tough second. Either you lay up short of the
A great Par 4 where getting over the road can mean decision time. Lay up or go for it? A water hazard, trees and bunkers
A tough Par 3 where short or left is dead. Hitting from an elevated tee to a large green with bunker right and water front
One of the best golf holes you will ever play! A short Par 5 with bush left and water right. Water runs the entire length

This is definitely a dog’s leg. A tee shot up the left is best. If you end up on the right side, my advice is
Two par 5’s to finish, how tough can that be? Well, 17 has ruined many a scorecard! The fallen tree left opposite the fairway bunkers
From this tee you can see the Bar which is both a relief and a good line! The right side is best. The second shot
This is one of the most talked about holes in Southern Africa. Whilst on the tee, take an extra second or two to absorb the magnificent view. The tee is perched above the Indian Ocean and sightings of whale and dolphin are common in winter. Whilst a short Par 3, it is difficult into a south-east wind and the green is deceptively long.
A spectacular hole played from elevated tees over water to a green that has a bunker right and water left and in front. There are superb views over the course and the ocean from all the tees. With 3 mens tees, 3 ladies tees, and changing winds, its a new hole every day!
A narrow Par 5 between trees and bunkers that plays either directly into, or with the wind, with ‘trouble’ left and right. This is a straightforward, really good hole where the well-guarded green hides subtle slopes.
