The Shaynou An uphill, narrow par 5 that requires a tee shot up the middle of the fairway The green is reachable in two; however, it is well-guarded with bunkers, OB to the left and trees to the right. Second shot plays longer than the indicated yardage. Smart play is to get a second shot…

OO-Las-Tuk A challenging par 4 for men where the tee shot is once again key. The approach shot plays shorter than the indicated yardage and players must be aware that OB is only 10 yards left of the green. For the ladies, the green is reachable in two, thus providing an excellent birdie opportunity.

Glooscap Check the yardage to the creek and get the tee shot to the top of the hill. The shot to the elevated green plays farther than indicated. The middle of the firm green is a good target, so as to avoid the right-hand trap and the false front.

The Orchard A par 3 that plays longer than indicated with OB on the right and lots of tree trouble on the left. The green breaks left to right and is markedly up hill in the back.

Thru the Green A tee shot down the middle is key for this hole (OB on the left and tree line on the right).  Aim to the left side of the green as shots tend to kick to the right. Often the ruin of many good rounds, par 4 is a great score and a…

The Lookout A straightaway par 3 that will receive a shot hit into the green. Most players hit short and with a forward bounce are in good position to make par. Finally! A relatively flat green.

Long Drag Your drive should be played to the top of the hill (approximately 240 yards). Shorter hitters must be aware of the creek that runs through 10, 12, 13, and 15 and sits at the base of this steep fairway. The 150-yard mark is a great target but the slope of the hill and…

Meditation This par 5 is reachable for the longer hitters. There is a bunker running across the fairway that protects the green 35 yards from the centre. All approach shots kick right, so aim to the left side for scoring chances.

Eagles Nest This is the shortest par 3 on the course, but it plays a club longer than the indicated yardage. Green is extremely fast from left to right. Take a deep breath here as you are about to play back-to-back par 5s.

Temptation A drivable par 4 surrounded by 2 ponds, the aim is at the trap to the right of the green. A precise approach shot will provide a birdie opportunity. This huge green is relatively flat but gets tougher with a left-pin placement.
