HOLE1 433yards Par4
Click on the photo to view a video introducing the golf course.
Hole 1 is a middle length, downhill course. Because there are sand traps and out of bounds on the right side and palm trees on the left side, for your tee shot aim in the middle of the fairway. If the tee ball touches down on the left side, you may not be able to land your ball on the green at your second shot. The green has mild undulation and gives you a fair chance of a birdie.

Hole 4 is the shortest and downhill hole. The downhill makes it difficult to grasp the actual distance to the flag. Since sand traps guard the green on every direction, hitting the green is a must.

Hole 5 is the longest and slightly dogleg-right. You want to secure a par by hitting the green in regulation. The fairway is undulated and downhill toward the green. On the whole, this course is tough.

Hole 7 has part of the fairway largely curved in the area between 150 and 100 yards before the green, so where you hit the tee shot on the fairway is crucial. You preferably want to avoid the second shot on the downhill. The undulation on the green is quite tough to deal with.

Hole 8 shows a downward slope for the tee shot and a upward slope for the rest of the shots, and it is dogleg-left. If you secure the tee ball on the fairway, it is not too hard to hit the green at the second shot. It is advised that you should secure a par if the tee ball makes a turn.

Hole 9 has not only sand traps but also a downward slope on the right side of the fairway, so avoid hitting to the right side. On the left side is an elevation, but further left is out of bounds. This is a hole where you want to hit the middle of the fairway and the green in regulation.

HOLE10 430yards Par4

Hole 10 is a middle distance and slight dogleg-left hole. Since there is a sand trap on the right side of the fairway, it is safe to hit the tee shot on the left side of the fairway and avoid the trap in case of hitting into the headwind. There is a fair chance of a birdie, for the distance to the green would be as short as 120 yards from the second shot point. However, watch out for the crosswind because this hole can give you a chance of a boggy as well as a chance of a birdie.

HOLE11 388yards Par4

Hole 11 is not so long but is inclined from the right to the left of the fairway, so prepare to hit the second shot on a side-hill lie. Due to the elevation on the right side, the ball would roll down even if it turns to the right. When the pin is placed on the top tier of the three-tired green, it is difficult to estimate the distance. This is the first crucial hole of the back nine.

Hole 12 is short and may only require a short iron for the tee shot; hence, it is rather easy to make a birdie. But accurate grasp of the distance and direction is required in order to drop the ball near the pin in case of the crosswind from left to right.

Hole 13 has sand traps on both sides of the fairway, so try to avoid them at the tee shot. Minimum requirement is needed in the wind. A spoon for a regular golfer and a 2 or 3 iron for a long hitting golfer should be enough to deal with the remaining 230 to 240 yards and to hit the green at the second shot. This is one hole where you really want a birdie.

HOLE14 411yards Par4

Hole 14 is the second crucial hole of the back nine. Because woods are protruding from the left side, the fairway looks narrower than it actually is. This hole requires different strategies depending on the wind direction. An easy GIR is possible in case of the downwind, but it is wise that you safely get up and down from the passageway before the green and secure a par in case of the headwind. Avoid dropping the ball beyond the green.

Hole 15 requires different tactics depending on your favorite shot; a soft fade toward the sand trap on the left side of the fairway or a draw above a tree on the right side. The second shot should be made on an uphill-lie, so you need one or two longer clubs. The green also has an uphill-lie but its inclination is steep. A good strategy is to aim for your side of the green, not going past the cup.

Hole 16 is a long downhill Par 4 hole but because it is downhill dogleg right, a short iron may be enough to hit the green at the second shot. You want to hit the tee ball on the right side of the fairway. Even if the ball hits the slope on the right side, it should roll down. So we recommend that you try to make a shortcut on this hole.

Hole 17 is a short hole over a pond. If you try to avoid the pond to be safer, aim at the right side of the green. If you fail to hit the green, a tough approach shot may follow. If the pin is somewhere in the half of the green on your side, hitting the green by the tee shot can be difficult. The green has subtle undulation so this hole will not let you relax until you sink the ball in. Particularly, the green has a downhill-lie from the far right to the left, so it is possible that you putt three times on the green.

Hole 18 is a 'shortest' long hole. It is possible to hit the green at your second shot on this hole but pot bunkers, which are taller than golfers, await you in front of the green. So a birdie may be made more easily if you hit your third shot before the bunkers and hit the green, instead of trying to hit the green at your second shot. For better score making, think of the direction rather than the carry for your tee shot and second shot, and try to stay on the fairway.
