Hole 1 183Yds Par 3 Testing opening hole. Long iron required to a well bunkered green. Out of bounds left. Hole 2 348Yds Par 4 Straight hole, position important off the tee. Good second shot required into well protected green. Hole 3 387Yds Par 4 Fairway bunkers left and right. Straight second shot required to avoid greenside bunkers. Hole 4 427Yds Par 4 Long par 4 with bunkers to catch wayward tee shots. Long second to green. Hole 5 187Yds Par 3 Long par 3 requiring long iron or wood to heavily bunkered narrow green. Hole 6 516Yds Par 5 Out of bounds right forces tee shots towards rough and bunker on left. Out of bounds threatens second shots. Good 3rd shot to hold fast green. Hole 7 437Yds Par 4 Stroke index 1 and often plays as such. Straight drive required then long blind second. Aim for marker behind green. Hole 8 490Yds Par 5 Straight drive required again then play short of two cross bunkers protecting the approach to a tiered green. Tricky pitch as ground to right of green falls away sharply. Hole 9 305Yds Par 4 Short par 4 but good position required off the tee to avoid bunkers and provide straight second into the flag.

Hole 10 179Yds Par 3 Tough green to hit with out of bounds on right, gorse bushes left and 4 bunkers around the green. Hole 11 328Yds Par 4 Mid/long iron to corner of dog leg, go short or long depending on pin position. Tricky two tier green. Hole 12 494Yds Par 5 Out of bounds all along the right. Three well placed bunkers to catch second shots. Green slopes back to front. Hole 13 151Yds Par 3 Tee off from highest point on course. Out of bounds on right. Club selection very much influenced by wind strength and direction. Hole 14 459Yds Par 4 Many regard this as the hardest hole on course. Stroke index 2. Well placed bunkers to catch second shots. Green farther behind brow of hill than it appears. Hole 15 286Yds Par 4 Short par 4. Out of bounds threatens on left. Driveable with favourable wind conditions. Hole 16 373Yds Par 4 Dog leg par 4 where accurate tee shot required to left of three fairway bunkers. Good second shot needed to hit a difficult sloping green. Hole 17 387Yds Par 4 The new 17th green came into play in 2006. Arguably now an even more challenging 2nd shot than before with a narrow entrance to the green protected left and right by bunkers not visible from back on the fairway. Hole 18 327Yds Par 4 Driveable par 4 to finish but gorse, bunkers and out of bounds left and behind the green can easily spoil a good card.
