BLUE 315 WHITE 301 RED 285
The first four holes pose a relatively easy start for a
good golfer. This first par four swoops right, with out
of bounds on the left behind a barrier of bunkers. A big
tree marks the dogleg, with plenty of other trees on the
left. Bunkers protect the left, front and back of the green,
with another on the right and water at the rear.
BLUE 507 WHITE 493 RED 457
The fairway provides a broad slope as a target, with whispy
pines on the right and a bunker dead ahead at the point
where the hole doglegs right. Up the slope, the hole swings
right, with a small water hazard set left. More traps guard
both entrances to the green.
BLUE 185 WHITE 162 RED 142
Trees line this downhill par three, with bunkers left and
right. Among the most gentle holes on the course.
BLUE 414 WHITE 376 RED 323
A par four with plenty of water to the left, from tee to
green. Coconut palms and a bunker can be seen on the right,
from an open fairway. Water crosses the route but too close
to the tee to spell trouble. The hole swings right, with
a bunker on the corner and palms along the water. A large
bunker lies right of the green at this pretty hole.
BLUE 569 WHITE 537 RED 484
Water traces the left edge of a par five that has the virtue
of allowing you to see the pin in the distance. Tall pines
guard both sides, with a bevvy of bunkers towards the green
on the right. Left of the green is a scraper bunker, which
includes a couple of coconut palms and some spinafex. A
small, conventional bunker blocks the right-hand approach.
BLUE 418 WHITE 384 RED 344
Bunkers and out-of-bounds threaten on the left of a relatively
straight par four with whispy pines and a big fairway bunker
among other elements to avoid. Possibly the widest fairway
on the course. Large traps ring this green.
BLUE 220 WHITE 189 RED 160
Out-of-bounds lies left, with small greenside bunkers adding
to the test on this long par three. Water awaits the wayward
on the right.
BLUE 408 WHITE 379 RED 331
A par four with bunkers blossoming down the right and woods
on the left. Wispy pines lie left and right. Although bunkers
guard both sides of the green, it's a fairly open approach.
BLUE 373 WHITE 342 RED 316
A shot over the corner as this par four doglegs left will
be rewarded with a clear approach to a pretty island green
in the lagoon in front of the clubhouse. The island holds
bunkers right and back and some low shrubs, too. Mounds
in the fairway produce uphill or downhill lies, making the
approach shot even more difficult.
BLUE 424 WHITE 400 RED 336
The fairway opening to this par four looks narrow but it
widens beyond a yawning fairway bunker to reveal a large
stretch of water on the right. A string of bunkers also
run down towards the green, so the second shot is across
water and bunkers. Water also meanders around the back of
the green.
BLUE 160 WHITE 137 RED 120
Water crosses the fairway then lingers along the right
of this par three, which is nastier when the pin is placed
at the back of the green. There's also a bunker sprawling
between the green and the water on the right, in case you
try your luck.
BLUE 386 WHITE 369 RED 301
Trouble at this par four lies out of sight, with water
left and right as it doglegs right. Bunkers and some mounds
traipse along the left, heading towards the dogleg. More
bunkers are strung in front of the green. Low grass and
trees lie through the back.
BLUE 174 WHITE 156 RED 132
A scenic par three with out-of-bounds left and water on
the right. The lilly-covered water hazard is a beautiful
spot to lose your ball. A small bunker nestles left in front
of the green. Pine trees complete an attractive setting.
BLUE 398 WHITE 371 RED 329
A narrow but straight par four, heavily bunkered and with
out-of-bounds left and water right. A large fairway bunker
poses a special test because of the tree right behind it.
More bunkers lie downhill to the green, offering a better
destination than the water.
BLUE 421 WHITE 401 RED 331
A mound to the left of the fairway holds three bunkers,
each higher than the last. Beyond them to the left, a wayward
shot finds out-of-bounds. On the right, more pots bounce
down to the green. Whispy pines lie out the back.
BLUE 152 WHITE 135 RED 114
You could be forgiven for thinking there's more sand than
grass on this short par three. Bunkers start early and finish
late. Palms line the left and pines line the right, with
out-of-bounds at the rear.
BLUE 612 WHITE 585 RED 498
A daunting par five, this is hardest hole on the course,
as perilous as it is pretty. Water cuts the fairway to drown
drives and continues all the way along the right and behind
the green. An army of bunkers march down the left. Water
cuts the fairway again before the relatively benign green
is reached.
BLUE 518 WHITE 503 RED 451
A second par five to finish. This one is straighter, but
with water all along the right and trouble in the trees
and beyond on the left. The line to a tight green is reasonably
open, but the clubhouse lagoon lies in waiting just behind
the putting surface.
