A downhill par 4. The challenge here is to place the tee shot to the right of the bunkers. But beware: aim too far right and you are in the rough, with out of bounds lurking on that side as well.
Turn nature's features to your advantage
A rather short par 4 with many hazards. The landing area for the drive is wide enough to place the tee shot. Long hitters, however, have to hold back here, otherwise the water hazard comes into play. The real challenge on this hole is the approach to the elevated green. Avoid the deep bunker short and right of the green!
Let the wide-open views work their magic
One of the three long par 3 holes on this course. Length is the issue here; most players need a wood to reach the green. The green should not be underestimated either. It has many breaks, allowing for awkward pin positions.
Dynamics and power, all in!
The first par 5 on the course depends heavily on the wind. The drive landing area slopes slightly from left to right, so place your drive a touch left. With a tailwind, long hitters can reach this par 5 with the second shot.
Approach the green relaxed
After the tee was moved, the drive plays a little blind for the men. But beware: a deep fairway bunker lurks right in the driving zone! So lay up or carry it. After that, the way to the green is clear.
In the mood for risk?
The second long par 3 on the course. On top of that, a water hazard short and right of the green comes strongly into play here. The wind also plays a major role.
Score with tactics
The second par 5 is a slight dogleg left, and the tee shot should be placed on the left side, as the fairway slopes to the right in the driving zone. Take care when laying up that the bunker complex and the water hazard short and right of the green do not come into play.
Dynamic drives and a deft short game are key
A par 4 that runs slightly uphill. The approach to the green is the difficulty here, as the ball cannot roll onto the green, otherwise it ends up in the long bunker directly in front of it.
Take a breath: half the round is done
The third long par 3 on the front nine. There is a ridge in the green that divides it into two tiers. If the pin is on the upper tier, the hole plays considerably harder.
Prevail with a cool head and emotion
A long par 4 without bunkers, but with water. The tee shot must be placed long and slightly right to have a chance of playing the second shot onto the green. Out of bounds lurks left of the hole. The approach to the green is made considerably harder by the large water hazard.
Challenge the green with long play and a clever approach
A short par 4 with a lower-lying green. Avoid the long fairway bunker on the left side.
An explosive drive sends the ball onto the green
The shortest of the par 3 holes. Unfortunately it plays longer, as the shot goes steeply uphill. The bunker short and right of the green should be avoided.
Tiger line or safety first? That is the question.
A dogleg to the left. Because of the height of the trees, it becomes ever harder to cut the corner aggressively from the tee.
Simply experience the fascination of golf
A great par 5. The tee shot plays slightly uphill, but those who are long enough can get into a good position to play the second shot onto the green. The second shot goes steeply downhill and therefore flies further than expected. But beware, water hazards lurk left and right in front of the green.
The path to a good score: embrace nature's conditions
A tough par 4 dogleg right. The drive must be placed to the right of the bunkers. Hit too far left and you are in the bunkers or out of bounds. The second shot goes steeply uphill and therefore plays longer!
Strategy and tactics are called for
Another par 4 dogleg right. The driver is probably not the right choice off this tee. The fairway ends after about 180 m and then turns sharply to the right. Anyone trying to cut the corner hits into a steeply sloping fairway where the ball barely holds.
Just let the ball fly
Another par 5 on the back nine. From the tee, avoid the bunkers on the right side. But beware: high rough lurks on the left.
A happy ending to a round of golf for all the senses
A beautiful closing hole! This par 4 offers every possibility once more. A good drive here leaves a relatively short approach to the green. If the pin is set on the left of the green, the shot must be played over a mound and a deep bunker.
