Course Info

No 1 A relatively short starting hole makes for easy driving although a narrowing fairway protected on the left by trees and on the right by a fairway bunker can create difficulty. Approach to the green is protected by two bunkers at the front, a large gully on the left and at the back dropping steeply from the greens edge.

No 2 A challenging mid length Par 3 with Out of Bounds right along the roadside. A bunker situated on the right front and danger on the left from a deep gully that drops steeply from the green side makes accuracy in direction and distance a must. There is also hidden trouble with a water race running across the back of the green.

No 3 Rated as the hardest hole on the course this Par 5 is a classic three shot Par 5. A water race runs along the left hand side of the hole, this coupled with a large Pine on the left and a fairway bunker right makes for a difficult tee shot. Second shots must also be played with skill as the fairway narrows and the large pond on the left hand side and trees and another fairway bunker on the right come into play. The approach again requires precision with the green protected on the left by the pond and a bunker short and on the right by the overhang of a large pine and a gully which drops steeply from greens edge. There is again hidden trouble at the back of the green with another pond.

No 4 A challenging Par 4 requiring accuracy from the tee as the left hand side is protected by large trees and the right hand side by Kowhais on the fairway edge and a pond and water race further right. Once past these areas there is an open approach to a green protected by bunkers short right, middle left and middle right ready to catch a wayward shot.

No 5 A relatively short and straightforward Par 4 hole. Fairway is protected on the left by large trees and on the right by a fairway bunker and more trees. Approach to the green is open with a Kowhai situated front left and bunker middle right.

No 6 Difficult tee shot on a middle length Par 4 with the fairway protected on the left by a pond and the water race and on the right hand side by a stand of large pine trees. Fairway opens up with an unobstructed approach to the green protected by a bunker right middle and swale on the back left.

No 7 Long Par 5 running toward the Southern Alps with fairway protected on the left and right by trees of varying sizes. Approach is to a kidney shaped green sloping from back to front with a bunker right middle. Accuracy of approach is required as steep banks protect the elevated portion of the green.

No 8 Long Par 3 with a large gently sloping green protected by a bunker short right. Becomes an extreme test when played into a Nor’Wester.

No 9 A relatively long Par 4 dog leg left. Difficult tee shot with a pine tree to negotiate before finding the fairway which is protected by trees of varying sizes left and right and which narrows for the longer hitters. Approach is to a large sloping green from front to back protected by two bunkers left and large grass mounds on the right and at the back.

No 10 Long Par 4 requiring an accurate tee shot as the fairway is protected by large pine trees right and difficult rough and trees left. Approach is over a gully to a large green protected by bunkers middle left and right.

No 11 A long Par 5 requiring an accurate tee shot to make a narrow fairway protected on the right by a large gully and on the left by undulations and a lone Kowhai. Second shots are to a wide fairway which narrows again closer to the green. Approach is to a green protected by a pine trees and a bunker left front and by the gully which drops steeply.

No 12 Rated as the easiest hole on the course this short par 3 is played into a receptive bowl shaped green. Approach to the green is protected by grass mounds at all sides, a large bunker in front and a bunker middle right. Accuracy both in direction and distance is rewarded on this hole.

No 13 Tee shots and second shots on this long Par 5 are to a wide undulating fairway protected on the left and right by scattered trees. Approach is to a large green protected on the left middle and right middle by bunkers.

No 14 A short but difficult Par 4 dog leg right requiring accuracy and distance from the tee. Fairways are flanked by large pine trees both left and right and once negotiated leaves a difficult approach to a narrow two tiered green protected by a bunker middle left and steep banks from the green edge on the second tier.

No 15 A tricky mid length Par 3 which is visually intimidating as there is a stand of pines down the left hand side and a large pine lining the right of the green. The green is protected by a bunker short right and a gully which drops sharply for the right hand green edge.

No 16 Driving on the final Par 5 is to a large fairway which narrows for the longer hitter. Fairway is flanked by a large stand of pines down the left hand side and a group of smaller trees on the right. The fairway for second shots is protected bunkers left and a further group of trees right. Approach to the green is tight between two bunkers on the front left and right.

No 17 A difficult mid length Par 4 dog leg right with a deep gully running across the fairway. Fairway is protected by pine trees left and a few trees right. Approach is narrow between two groups of large pines to a gently sloping green protected by a bunker short left.
