Straight away par 4. Prevailing wind blows from left to right. Aim down the middle, the wind will push it right, but the fairway slopes right to left to bring the ball back to the center of the fairway. Uphill approach shot to a large green with a false front, so take an extra club. |

Dog leg right par 5 with a split fairway. Green is guarded by small deep bunkers. |
||||
|
How to Play It: |
||||
|
Two choices from the tee box. From the back tee, play the hole as a 3-shot par 5. Aim straight away, hit second shot over the dry creek bed and play your third shot in. Longer hitters can carry left side of the pepper tree, resulting in a chance to go for the green in two. From the forward tee boxes, players can aim straight ahead or try to play for the right hand fairway, a great risk-reward tee shot. |

Description: |

Par 5 with a narrow landing area for the long hitters. Two lakes guard the landing area. All uphill to the green. |
||||
|
How to Play It: |
||||
|
Off the tee, the landing area narrows the longer you hit your tee shot. Beware of the deep fairway bunker on the left hand side. Two lakes guard the landing area, aim for the tallest part of the clubhouse on your layup. Relatively flat green, but approach shot will release due to being uphill. |
