Golf Course
Hole
1 : This medium length par 4 should allow the golfer
to get off to good start and hopefully get ahead of the golf
course. The fairway bunkers along the left side of the golf
hole protect the landing area for tee shots. From here the golfer
has the best angle into the green. Hole
2 : This medium length par 5 requires two well placed
shots in order to give the golfer a comfortable third shot into
the island green. For those wishing to get on the green in two,
a tee ball hit down the left side of the fairway over the sandy
waste will give them the best angle into the green.
Hole
3 : The fairway on this hole is split into two areas
by bunker in the middle of the fairway. The best angle to enter
the pin is to hit it long and left off the tee or over the bunker
in the middle of the fairway. Those golfers wishing to try a
shorter iron into the green. A fairway collection pad behind
the green will hopefully catch any errant shots for those trying
to avoid the canal in front. Hole
4 : The first of the ocean holes, this medium length
par 3 has spectacular view into the Andaman Sea beyond the green.
The green sets up as an island of grass in a sea of sand and
should present a unique golfing experience. This golf hole sets
up best with a slight draw around the front greenside bunker
especially if the pin is black left.
Hole 5
: This par 4 plays back to the island green from island
tees in a huge sandy waste. The best tee shot is to hit if far
enough to get above the strong elevation change that runs through
the middle of the fairways. Those golfers hugging the side of
the fairway will have the best angle into the green and take
advantage of the green contours.
Hole 6 : The best tee shot for this hole depends
upon the pin position. The best side of the fairway to place
their tee shot is the same side of the green that the pin
is located. A bunker to the right and the canal to the left
protect both sides of the fairway. The long hitters to will
find a very narrow fairway to contend with and may choose
to hit a 3-wood here.
Hole
7 : This is the longest par 3 on the course at 230
yards from the back tees. The lake is very far from the green
and should not present much trouble for most golfers. The
best shot is a left to right shot started at the bunker on
the loft.
Hole 8 : This is a first of two holes without any
bunkers in play from the tee shot and will require the golfer
to play on either side of a group of trees in the middle of
the fairway. Tee balls hit down the left side to the narrow
landing area gives the golfer the best angle into the green
with a shorter iron.
Hole
9 : This medium length par 5 will require a tee ball
hit over the carry bunkers on the left side of the fairway
in order to be in position to go for the green in two. A small
lake and another carry bunker at the second landing area create
the need for a right to loft ball trajectory to set up the
best shot.
Hole
10 : This long par 4 will require the golfer to hit
their tee shot as long as possible in order to have the best
angle into the green. Those hitting shorter by catching the
elevation change in the fairway will have to come in over
some greenside bunkers on their second shot.
Hole
11 : This short par 3 is fashioned after the famous
redden green complex in Scotland and requires the golfer to
hit a right to left tee ball to front part of the green or
approach area. From there the ball should release and feed
to the back and left pin areas.
Hole
12 : The longest par 4 on the golf course, This hole
will require two big hits in order to reach the green and
make par. Hitting a tee shot along the left side of the fairway
close to the bunkers will give the shortest and best angle
into the green. The green is protected by a lake down the
right side and a deep hollow to the left for those bailing
away from the water.
Hole 13 : This is the longest par 5 on the golf course
and offers more great views into the Andaman Sea . The best
tee shot is played down the left side of the fairway to cut
off the most distance and the second half of the hole sets
up as another island of grass on a sea of sand.
Hole
14 : After the previous two holes, this short par
4 will be a welcome site for most golfers but will need to
be respects due to a very tricky green complex. This is another
golf hole where the best side of the fairway to winter the
green from depends upon the pin position.
Hole
15 : The shortest par 5 on the golf course, This
hole should present the opportunity for golfers to make up
any lost ground with a well placed tee shot down the left
side for the best angle into the green in two. Those wishing
to play a more conservative approach can play short of the
right approach bunker or carry the bunker on the loft greenside
shorter pitch shot to a well guarded green.
Hole
16 : This short par 3 requires a well placed tee
shot to a relatively narrow green guarded by bunkers and the
canal. The green slope from right to left and will accept
a high left to right shot trajectory as the best angle of
approach.
Hole
17 : The shortest par 4 on the golf course with the
second tee shot on the course without any bunkers requires
the tee shot to be placed along the right edge of the fairway
in order to avoid the deep hollow on the left. From The left
side, the green will be blind on the second shot so most golfers
may choose to hit 3-wood here in order to make sure they leave
an open second shot into the green.
Hole
18 : This finishing hole sets up a variety of options
to most golfers. If playing to the right green complex, the
golfer will need to place their tee shot between the lake
and the bunker in the middle of the fairway for the angle
into the green. For those playing to the left green complex,
the golfer can choose to carry the middle fairway bunker or
place their tee shot as close to the left fairway bunker for
the best angle and shortest distance to the green.
