The opening hole is a sweeping dog leg right played from an elevated tee; the more aggressive player has the opportunity to aim over the right hand corner of the dog-leg and with a well struck drive shorten the hole considerably leaving a relatively short iron approach.

The shrewd option is to take aim on the fairway bunkers at the left hand corner of the dog leg playing a fairway wood for position.

All tee shots should favor the left hand side of the fairway as the carry over the lake plays longer than at first appears.

A lone fairway bunker on the left acts as a good visual from the tee and is the ideal line for the majority of players.

Strategically placed fairway cross bunkers require good course management and club selection for your second.

The third hole drops dramatically downwards from tee to fairway, bunkering on the left and right hand side of the hole places a premium on accuracy with the drive.

Playing towards the left hand bunker is the best line allowing the natural contours of the hole to throw your ball back towards the fairway and an ideal position to play your second from.

The tee shot at the Par 5 sixth should be aimed well to the right avoiding the three bunkers framing the left hand side of the hole and leaving a long uphill second.

The tee shot should be played towards the fairway bunker on the left, the natural terrain and native grasses undulate along the left side of the hole grabbing any errant tee shots while the stream running along the right hand side will penalize a pushed drive.

The wind which gusts between the foothills will make club selection for the second shot difficult to determine but very important to get right.
