Hole 1, 368 metre Par 4: A very good starting hole, slightly uphill with a wide driving area, middle iron second shot, no bunkers around the green. A plateau before the green makes it a deceptive opening hole.


Hole 2, 463 metre Par 5: Uphill all the way, a dogleg at 260m to the right, out of bounds all the way on the right. Two woods and a pitch make it a birdie hole and long hitters will be putting for eagles. A tier through the green and a large bunker left toughens the green up.


Hole 3, 392 metre Par 4: Downhill and plays shorter than the meterage suggests. Well protected fairway with trees on both sides. A middle iron second shot to a green which slopes away from the player. A deep greenside bunker protects the left side of the green.


Hole 4, 298 metre Par 4: A narrow driving hole, crossing a creek, big trees line both sides of this fairway. A short second shot to this well bunkered, undulating green will set up a good birdie shot.


Hole 5, 190 metre Par 3: A good par 3 with a creek to the left, right and in front. A long iron or fairway wood is required if the wind is against the players. Par is always a good score here.


Hole 6, 390 metre Par 4: A tough par 4 with the drive landing into a hill. A blind second shot with a 5-7 iron makes it difficult. A well bunkered green sloping away from the player makes it hard to stop the ball downwind.


Hole 7, 387 metre Par 4: A blind driving hole down a very narrow shute. A middle to short iron second shot to a sloping green with a creek at the back. Not an easy hole.


Hole 8, 123 metre Par 3: A short iron over the creek to a relatively large green with four bunkers. This hole holds no trouble for good golfers.


Hole 9, 505 metre Par 5: The drive placed on the left side of the fairway rolls to the centre. A semi-blind second shot downhill for the last 180 metres will give the good player a short pitch or putt for birdies and eagles.


Hole 10, 408 metre Par 4: Rated No 1 for difficulty with a lake on the left between 200 metre and 230 metre. This slight dogleg left playes all it's distance. A long to middle iron is required to a flat green with deep bunkers and out of bounds 10 metres to the left of the green.


Hole 11, 305 metre Par 4: Another short par 4 with a sharp dogleg left and a creek stopping the players driving around the corner. A 2 iron and wedge will set up birdie chances.


Hole 12, 311 metre Par 4: Right hand dog leg uphill to a large green. A creek on the right stops players being too adventurous. A good birdie chance.


Hole 13, 158 metre Par 3: A great hole with a lake and 4 bunkers, a large green with some awkward pin positions. This hole is one of the best.


Hole 14, 333 metre Par 4: Straight uphill, a very narrow drive and a short iron. Masses of trees on both sides. A 1 or 2 iron from the tee is a sensible approach to this hole. The gree is well bunkered and slops severely from back to front.


Hole 15, 514 metre Par 5: The best par 5 of the course. A downhill drive with mounds and out of bounds on the right and a lake on the left make it a formidable driving hole. An uphill second shot with fairway bunkers and plenty of trees make this a very challenging hole.


Hole 16, 193 metre Par 3: A downhill par 3 with a large green and a lake to the left. A severe putting test with an undulating green that is difficult to read. Bunkers on both sides of the green make it hard to par if the tee shot is wayward.


Hole 17, 344 metre Par 4: Tee off-set to the right of fairway with three fairway bunkers at the 230 metre landing area. A drive has only 20 metres width between these bunkers. A 2 iron and 9 iron will be a popular way to play this hole.


Hole 18, 391 metre Par 4: A drive over a hill to a fairway with a dogleg left. A strand of pine trees on the left blocks the drive if pulled and large trees trap the drive on the right. A 6-7 iron second shot to a green sloping from the back and with two deep bunkers makes it a great finishing hole.
