Nicklaus Course
Hole 1
This is a medium length par 4 opening hole playing in the Southerly direction with water on the right side of the tees. The fairway is wide and best play being down the left side or over or near the middle bunker. Bunkers right of the green make the right side approach angle more difficult than from...
Hole 2
This is a strong par 4 with water in play down the right side. A heroic tee shot that carries the bunkers and flirts with the water on the right is rewarded with an easier
approach to a very large green. Players opting to play a tee shot to the safer left side of the landing area are faced with...
Hole 3
This is a long par 5 dogleg right with water down the right side. The creek right of the tee shot is not intended to be to be strategic; however the lake near the green will be in play. The green offers a relatively simple and open left front, but the back right plays over a bunker with water on the...
Hole 4
This is a strong par 3 and measures over 200 yards from the back tee. The back left side of the green is partially hidden behind the landform, but the entire green is visible from the forward right side tees and easy to approach. A deep collection area left of the green will catch a wayward shot, wh...
Hole 5
This is a strong par 4 playing in a northerly direction with a large waste bunker separating the landing area from the 6th hole. The best play will be to flirt with the high right side bunkers; from this elevated landing area the water right will be less of an influence on the 2nd shot. Left of the...
Hole 6
This is a fun and interesting shorter par 5 with extensive sandy wastes and water hazards to negotiate. The pot bunker in the fairway is a good target for most, but good players will need to negotiate this carefully. A tee shot close to this pot bunker will provide an open view to the peninsula gree...
Hole 7
This is a short par 4 with water on the left from tee to green. Bolder players who play close the lake left of the centre bunker have an easier shorter approach shot. Tee shots to the right will generally play one or two clubs longer to a green that slopes away.
Hole 8
This is a medium length par 4 with a double fairway. Tee shots down the right side have more water to contend with than the left side, but provide players with a better green angle to approach over water. Numerous bunkers and a “side-on” green angle make an approach from the left more ch...
Hole 9
This strong par 3 finishing hole has a forced water carry and water right of green. Bail out is short left and the back right pin is well protected by bunkering and water.
Hole 10
An accurate tee shot is required here although the water on left is not intended to be in play. A water hazard is located right of the green, but there is a generous bail out area short left.
Hole 11
A well-aimed shot that carries the bunkers short right will bounce onto the green, but a shot too far right will collect in the fairway low. The back two thirds of the green feeds shots towards the back left section. Water left of the green that will penalise an errant shot, is not intended to be st...
Hole 12
This is a strong par 4 with water all the way down the left side. Long collection bunkers along the water’s edge have been located in strategic locations to separate water from fairway. Two very good shots will be required to reach the green in two.
Hole 13
This is a strong par 5 playing in a northerly direction with views of the Coco River from the elevated tees. Tee shots short right will be visually blocked by the bunkers and landform. A longer tee shot to the left will provide players with a glimpse of the green or flag behind the 2nd landing area...
Hole 14
Players who flirt with the creek down the left side will be rewarded with a better approach angle to the green. Shorter players will have options to either lay up short of the creek for two, and have an interesting chip over water, or, to carry the creek and lay up on the short fairway pad left of t...
Hole 15
This is short drivable par 4 for good players. The water down the right is not intended to be part of the strategy, but it will penalise errant shots. A bold tee shot that carries the fairway bunkers left may be rewarded with a feed onto the green. A long drive to the right will be slightly penalise...
Hole 16
This par 3 plays in a South Westerly direction, with water very much in play down the right side. The green is a large target, but the elevation changes will demand accuracy to score well. The left is the safer bail out side, but is well protected with bunkering.
Hole 17
This is a relatively short par 4 with an extensive water body lake down the right side. Strong players who opt to carry the right side fairway bunker may be rewarded with a short chip to a receptive green. Players opting to play their tee shot to the safer left side, will be faced with a testing app...
Hole18
This is an interesting par 5 finishing hole with a meandering creek that bisects the fairway twice. The tee shot is relatively simple with water left. Players have various 2nd shot options: either play to the shorter landing are on the left of the creek with a tougher 3rd shot over water; or to the...
