Signature Holes
8th Hole – Par 4
314m Men / 263m Women
Take on the hole with driver and leave yourself a small wedge in, or take the safe route and hit rescue or an iron from the tee. Either way, stick to the right half of the fairway and avoid the fairway bunker. Take careful note of the pin position so as not leave yourself an impossible putt on a very difficult green and whatever you do, do not go in the bunker on the greenside right!
12th Hole – Par 3
161m Men / 124m Women
Aim for the centre of the green on this deeply bunkered par 3 as the green is long and narrow. Club selection can vary from 4 iron to 8 iron depending on tee location and wind direction.
Golfers sand play must be proficient as the green is entirely surrounded by bunkers Making par on this challenging hole will be a satisfying result.
18th Hole – Par 4
410m Men / 325m Women
One of golf’s toughest finishing holes. Excellent fairway bunkering left and deep scrub on the right make this a treacherous driving hole. The expanded approach cross bunker should not cause too much trouble for the Pro’s but it can deceive the club selection for the second shot. Swales and hollows through the back will very much be in play and more demands will be placed on the accuracy of shots to the large undulating green. Anyone who needs a 4 and makes it here deserves to be the Masters Champion.
