| Hole 1: 359 m Par 4 | Hole 2: 144 m Par 3 | Hole 3: 302 m Par 4 |
Even though the fairway is trapped both right
and left, the landing area is very generous. The smart way to play this
opening hole is to play safe to the centre of the fairway. From here a
short iron to a generous green divided into three distinct pin
positions will see a par score to start the round. | A beautiful short par 3. Many players will be
deceived by the bunkers across the front and will play one club short.
The green is divided into two sections by a strong ridge running
parallel to the line of play through the centre of the green. A tee
shot to the wrong side of the green is definitely three putt territory.
| At only 302 metres in length off the back tees,
the 3rd is a real challenging golf hole. The ideal tee shot will carry
across the corner of the creek to a generous landing area short of the
green. A short wedge to the green and two putts is all that is required
for a par. However, be warned that the green hides many dangers. With
four distinct pin positions and surrounded by bunkers this green will
severely test all but an accurate approach. Those players feeling
courageous can go for the green in one. |
| Hole 4: 395 m Par 4 | Hole 5: 513 m Par 5 | Hole 6: 186 m Par 3 |
A very strong par 4. Accuracy is required off
the tee to the narrow fairway through the trees. Bunkers short right
and deep grassy hollows short left of the green will put a premium on
the long iron approach shot. | A good tee shot over the right side bunker is
essential to have any chance of getting home for two. From the drive,
the player has the option of laying up short of the creek or carrying
the creek to a landing area just short of the green. The green is quite
heavily contoured and guarded by a large bunker on the right side
approach | This will be one of the most memorable golf
holes at Twin Creeks. From the back tee, a long accurate iron is
required to play through a narrow opening amongst the trees, across the
creek to the green. The left side pin placement will be very difficult
as it is guarded both front and rear by bunkers. The safe option is to
play to the centre of the green. |
| Hole 7: 346 m Par 4 | Hole 8: 411 m Par 4 | Hole 9: 545 m Par 5 |
It may only measure 346 metres from the back
tees but being uphill and with a narrow driving area, this par 4 will
test all levels of golf. For the best approach, attack the pin from the
left side fairway. This will provide the player with more green to work
with and a better chance of an uphill putt. | At 411 metres in length, this par 4 will be one
of the strongest golf holes on the course. A strong tee shot over the
left side fairway traps will give the most ideal approach to the green.
Players playing away from these traps and landing on the right side
fairway will be faced with a very difficult long, uphill approach to an
angled green guarded by hazards.
| A very strong golf hole to finish the front
nine. The ideal tee shot will take on the inside left bunker and land
to the left side fairway. From here the golfer is faced with a number
of choices. Strong players will play a very long shot over the hazards
to the green. Those not feeling so confident will either lay up short
of the fairway bunkers or carry these same fairway traps to a lay up
area just short of the green. The green may be large but the contours
and greenside traps will test all approaches. |
| Hole 10: 371 m Par 4 | Hole 11: 521 m Par 5 | Hole 12: 309 m Par 4 |
A stern test of golf for the start to the
second nine. The ideal tee shot should take on the left side bunkers.
Be careful not to go through the fairway and into the bunkers on the
outside of the dogleg as a long bunker shot is required to the green.
Take care when approaching the back left pin position as the green
slopes away steeply off the back.
| At 521 metres in length, and given the
tightness around the green, this long par five will play as a three
shotter for all but the strongest players. A good drive to the right
side fairway will give you the choice of either laying up short of the
wetland or playing long towards the end of the fairway at the second
landing area. A pinpoint accurate approach is required to a raised
green surrounded by deep bunkers. | A beautiful short par 4. Play the hole safely
by hitting the tee shot to the left side fairway. Confident players
will play a long drive to the right side fairway. The green has a
gentle mound in the centre that clearly divides the green into three
distinct pin positions. These tricky contours and the greenside traps
will ensure that this golf hole will play with more difficulty than it
looks. |
| Hole 13: 356 m Par 4 | Hole 14: 179 m Par 3 | Hole 15: 525 m Par 5 |
A middle length par 4 that places a premium on
the accuracy of the drive. The landing area is heavily guarded with
bunkers on both sides, short and beyond the landing zone. A good drive
will be rewarded with a short iron approach to a well guarded green. | A testing par 3 across a gully to a green
situated on a ridge. Even though the green is quite large, accuracy
will be required to hit one of the three pin positions. Be careful when
the pin is at the back left as this will require a very testing tee
shot.
| A long and testing 525 metre par 5. Even
though this measures almost the same length as the par five 11th, this
hole will play very differently. Carved uphill through the remnant
forest the real test will be on accuracy as the adjoining timber will
swallow up any errant shot. Be careful when the pin is at the rear as
the contours of the green slope away sharply. |
| Hole 16: 417 m Par 4 | Hole 17: 163 m Par 3 | Hole 18: 402 m Par 4 |
This is arguably the most difficult golf hole
on the course. It is very long and with water on the right for almost
the full length of the golf hole. The green is guarded to the right by
a bunker and to the left by a large tree. A par here will be well
deserved. | With water to the left and bunkers to the
front and back, this 163 metre par 3 will be a very strong test of golf
to players of all levels. A gentle ridge running through the green from
front to back will place an even higher premium on the tee shot.
| The 18th hole is a great way to finish the
round. To have any chance of a birdie, the tee shot must play long and
to the left side of the fairway adjacent to the water. Even from here a
long accurate iron is required to the lakeside green. Players not
feeling confident are advised to lay up for a short pitch home to the
green. There will definitely be more bogeys than birdies on this hole. |
