Hole 18 par-four, 464 metres Aim for the clock tower atop the clubhouse as you set up your tee shot here and take the left side. As with many holes in the golf course, the challenge is in the approach shot as a collection of spectacular Mackenzie-inspired bunkers cover the area on the right.

Hole 17 par-three, 176 metres A continuously long, snaking tee box means the hole can play differently on any given day for any tee position. Off the back, the challenge is to carry a water hazard and bunker protecting the green, especially if the pin is well back and left.

Hole 16 par-five, 529 metres From the back, the tee shot is compounded by a carry over a stream that flows all through to an island green. Two large bunkers cramp a narrow fairway between two landing zones so the safe play is to the right, especially for long hitters.

Hole 15 par-three, 184 metres A tricky par-three with a sneaky green that falls fast towards the water on the left and defended by a large bunker. Pin position on any given day will make the difference here, making shot selection a prime consideration.

Hole 14 par-four, 331 metres A seemingly simple par-four with a generously wide fairway, however, the tree lined tee complex forces you to hit a straight shot out of the shoot. The challenge here is to select the correct club and yardage as a bunker just short of the green presents an optical illusion of…

Hole 13 par-five, 488 metres A dog leg left par-five, the tee shot here is key with bunkers left and right protecting the landing zone. Tee up short for safety or go long and right, short of the bunkers, for a look at the green. A heroic approach could get you there in two but…

Hole 12 par-four, 415 metres Long hitters should take the Tiger line above the tall Ficus tree to a fairly wide fairway for a shorter approach to the green on this downhill dogleg right hole. A waste bunker line all through the left with a green shielded by a daunting pot bunker in front.

Hole 11 par-four, 409 metres Fairway bunkers protect the right on this hole, but a decent drive should make that avoidable. The fairway undulates greatly so a sidehill or downhill lie may make the approach to a green that inverts sharply to the left a difficult shot to make.

Hole 10 par-four, 357 metres Another hole that runs parallel, this time it is to the first. Separated only by a cluster of trees and sharing the same oversized bunker, Hole 10 is a straightforward par-four. However, you need to be accurate on the approach shot to a small green with strong undulation to protect…

Hole 9 par-four, 385 metres The majesty of the MacKenzie-inspired bunkers is in full view here at this long and challenging uphill par-four. A large fairway bunker surrounds the large landing area to give yourself an opportunity to reach a deceiving green with a false front, giving you an illusion that is closer than you…
