Call over hole. Elevated green with a view of the Waioeka Bridge from the tee, 2 small bunkers guard left and right. Out of bounds on the right and tight behind the green. Best to carry all the way to green but don’t be long!.

(White 359m Stroke 3 - Yellow 317m Stroke 3)

Dog leg right. A reasonable drive to carry the hill, keeping left leaves easy shot into the green. Water hazard along first third of fairway on right hand side, mature trees cut into fairway, small bunker on left and right hand side of green. Out of bounds behind green.

Longer par 4, slightly dog leg left, mature trees both sides, but trees left are trouble. Stay middle to right for a better shot to the green. Borrow is gently right to left towards the gully.

 

Hole 5 -The Elm (par 4)

(White 264m Stroke 15 - Yellow 264m Stroke 11)

Tree lined fairway ending with a long narrow green, danger for bigger hitters going too far left and into the Donga. Green rises from front to back.

 

Hole 6 - The Donga (par 3)

(White 121m Stroke 13 - Yellow 116m Stroke 17 )

Elevated tee down to green at bottom of natural amphitheatre, sloping green dictates placement below the pin. Best to keep below the hole! Long and wide, left especially leaves a challenging chip.
