Our signature par 3 on the Outeniqua is a test for golfers of all abilities. All depends on pin position as to your strategy here, but either way you want to play to the right half of the green.

A really tough hole for a short par 4 with water all the way down the right. Place your tee shot between the bunkers to leave a very short shot into a very narrow green. Missing the green right or left is a no-no!

The tee shot is hit to a fairly

wide fairway, but the bunkers will be

costly should you find them. This hole is about

the 2nd shot which will be tough to get close to the hole

no matter where the pin is positioned.

is important.

Avoiding the OB on the left is imperative and will be played as

a 3 shot hole for most golfers. To position the

2nd shot is the key here, by getting up

onto the flat area of the fairway. From there

you should find a favourable approach and no

worse than a par on the card.

A low stroke for many reasons! A long tee shot is needed for any chance

of having a go at the green, and the 2nd shot needs to be precise, with a creek left and

front of this narrow green. To most golfers a 5 will be

acceptable with par a bonus.

The tree is what you want to avoid from the teeing ground and if

you do, you will only have a short iron to this shallow

green, but make sure you carry the

creek in front!

The only true 'dog-leg' par 4 on the course as

there is a 90 degree turn to the right. The longer hitter

will try to cut the corner, but

for most golfers play to the

corner to leave a tough

approach with a mid to long

Iron.

A great 'risk and reward' par 5 which will find most longer

hitting golfers having a crack at the green in 2,

but be accurate as there is plenty of trouble

short, left and long! If you are playing

the 17th as a 3 shotter, keep

the 2nd shot short of the

bunkers!
