Hole #1

Par 4 | Handicap 7

Description

Don’t worry, it’s the first hole! Simply place your tee shot (maximum 200 m) on the left-hand side of the fairway. The attack on the green remains technical, but by playing from the fairway, your well-compressed ball will have enough back spin to stay in the center of the green.

Hole #2

Par 5 | Handicap 13

Description

A bunker is located in the middle of the fairway, at the level of the drive landing area. The longest hitters will drive over it, but most players will have to go left.

On the second shot, a lay-up is required to avoid the bunkers and leave us a shot of +/- 100 meters to attack the green. The boldest players will then opt for a 3-wood.

Tip: The green has a number of slopes, so it’s best to play down the center

Hole #3

Par 4 | Handicap 11

Description

The face-off must be opposite the dogleg, or you’ll find yourself locked in for the second shot. The most talented can execute a fade to better position themselves in the dogleg. In any case, attacking the green remains complicated, so don’t be too greedy!

Tip: The green is surrounded by traps, so prefer the center of the green.

Hole #4

Par 5 | Handicap 17

Description

Given the narrowness of the fairway, this tee shot is more about accuracy than distance. Longer hitters will be looking for a slightly draw trajectory in order to have the opening for the attack in 2 of this par 5.

A lay-up on the second shot is essential, but beware of the wind, which will blow your ball away. Attacking the green on the third shot won’t be so easy, even with a small club in hand. As the green is very shallow, you’ll need to play the perfect distance.

Tip: The green is relatively flat, but be careful as there are a few small slopes that are difficult to detect.

Hole #5

Par 3 | Handicap 15

Description

Forget the lake, the architect simply wanted to impress you! This hole is simple and undefended. It requires a short club. Don’t be shy, the green is huge.

Tip: The green is flat, so try your luck for birdie.

Hole #6

Par 4 | Handicap 1

Description

Welcome to the most difficult hole on the course! A long first shot to the left of the fairway is essential if you are to have any chance of hitting this long par 4 in 2. Beware: the ground slopes to the right and the tree after the water feature could get in the way, as could the wind, which will push your ball towards the side you want to avoid.

Your attack on the green remains complicated by its relatively small size and steep slope. You’ll also have a water hazard to get past and an out-of-bounds area behind the green. Don’t be influenced by these external factors!

Tip: Because of its grain, the green is very slow uphill and very fast downhill. So with your first putt, remember to get as close to the hole as possible and, ideally, below it. Your second putt should then be uphill.

Hole #7

Par 4 | Handicap 3

Description

Here’s a hole where Trent Jones Senior has made perfect use of the terrain to trap you. A long drive, center or right, will give you a less complicated shot to the green, which remains sloping and therefore technical. Numerous bunkers punish off-course shots. For beginners and average players, prefer to attack the green in 3.

Tip: Stay under the flag for an uphill putt. Downhill putts are deadly…

Hole #8

Par 3 | Handicap 9

Description

The green is very well defended by 3 different bunkers: a deep one, a wide one and a flat one with little sand. Putt lines are straightforward, so you’ll see them very clearly.

Tip: A neutral trajectory is essential to avoid the row of trees to the left and right.

Hole #9

Par 5 | Handicap 5

Description

The tee shot must be in line, so place your drive without forcing it. After the dogleg, the fairway becomes very wide. For big hitters, you’ll need to negotiate a slight fade to get into the dogleg.

Then use your fairway wood to cover the distance. Attacking the green remains simple, as it is flat and large.

Tip: Bunkers are located at the front and on either side of the green. Playing to the back or center of the green is a safe shot.

Hole #10

Par 3 | Handicap 16

Description

Small par 3, therefore small green, relatively narrow and well defended by bunkers. Typical Trent Jones style! If you’ve got a small club in hand, you’ll need to be impeccable.

Tip: Don’t be afraid to take a few more lines than you’d like, as the green has plenty of them.

Hole #11

Par 4 | Handicap 4

Description

It’s no secret that the tee shot must be in the middle and to the right of the fairway bunker. Attacking the green requires a straight shot.

For long, courageous hitters, a slight draw will place the ball well beyond the fairway bunker. Don’t try this shot unless you’ve mastered it.

Tip: The green is surrounded by bunkers, so be precise or play the 2nd shot before the green and make an approach shot.

Hole #12

Par 4 | Handicap 2

Description

This par 4 is one of the most difficult holes because you’ll never get your feet flat. But the lines are straight, so there are no surprises!

A long first shot is required from the tee, taking care to line up well and taking a fairly distant reference point. But be careful: your ball must be high and your attack on the green sufficiently short, as it is uphill and very small.

Tip: Take 1 or 2 extra clubs, as the green is relatively high compared with the middle of the fairway. And the wind blows in this rather exposed part of the course.

Hole #13

Par 5 | Handicap 8

Description

Get loose on the drive, it’s finally wide! A 2nd long shot will allow long hitters to hit the green. Otherwise, the 3rd shot will take you to the flag. Don’t lose concentration as the green is deep but very narrow.

Tip: Avoid the right-hand side of the green or you’ll end up in the bunker.

Hole #14

Par 3 | Handicap 18

Description

Stay focused on the fairway to the green – the flattest on the course – as many players are looking out of bounds at the large clubhouse window.

Tip: Use the houses in the background as landmarks.

Hole #15

Par 4 | Handicap 6

Description

A trajectory to the left of the tree allows you to see the green for your second shot. The attack is one of the most difficult on the course, as the green is low, small and sloping to the right… Your objective: find the club that will allow you to rise to the occasion!

Putting on this green is very tricky, as the steep slope will influence ball speed and line.

Tip: Don’t putt more than 200 meters, as your aim is to stay on the flat part of the fairway and not on the descent to the green.

Hole #16

Par 3 | Handicap 14

Description

Always a technical par 3. Prefer the left side of the green, which remains complex in all cases.

Tip: The green slopes from left to right. The ideal shot is therefore below the flag, on the right, for an uphill putt.

Hole #17

Par 5 | Handicap 10

Description

A shot from +/- 200 meters is all that’s needed to start this hole, which is best played on the left side of the fairway (blind shot). For more experienced players, however, a draw is the ideal trajectory.

Your 2nd shot should be long enough, but supported on the left. As for your third shot, it should be uphill on a shallow green. Be very precise with the length of your shot.

Tip: The green leans to one side, but be careful as it’s very fast once you’re on top with a downhill putt.

Hole #18

Par 4 | Handicap 12

Description

Don’t be intimidated by the lake. Go for it with your drive, the fairway is wide. The technical point of this hole is the attack on the green. The slope is so steep that you’ll need 1 or 2 extra clubs to reach the green.

Tip: The bunkers below the green are deep. Don’t hesitate to play to the bottom of the green and accelerate well into the ball to help it fly.
