Tony Cashmore's playing tips for a successful game

1st - Par 4
A mid length par 4 to start where the tee shot needs to be placed just right of the bunker to leave a good angle into a gently contoured green. The big hitter is better placed with a fairway wood off the tee, as the fairway runs out at around 240 metres.

2nd - Par 5
The best shot is played down the left side of this long hole. The key is to avoid the pond that guards the right part of the green, and staying out of the bunkers that stretch along the left. Make sure to avoid the back bunkers if the pin is front left, as a miscued bunker shot could find a watery grave. Making par on this hole is a good score.

3rd - Par 4
Although distance off the tee can be an advantage on this hole, accuracy is the key to a par or birdie. Water stretches along the left of the hole and a bunker protects the front right portion of the green. Hitting the green may seem easy but an undulating green awaits.

4th - Par 3
A long iron or fairway wood is required to reach this green. Any prevailing wind will see the ball be pushed from right to left towards the water and be aware that a bunker protects the right part of the green. A tough par 3.

5th - Par 4
A premium is placed on an accurate tee shot on this hole. A bunker protects the right and water on the left. Coupled with an undulating fairway the player will be happy just to be on the cut surface. Be sure to take an extra club or two when hitting to the green to compensate for the uphill green.

6th - Par 5
A hole of choices, do you go left, right, or over the dead tree that guards the opening of the fairway? Once on the fairway do you lay up or risk getting close to the green that is protected by bunkers? A great par 5 hole.

7th - Par 4
Long Par 4, dog leg around to the right, slightly downhill. The best line is to just miss the bunkers on the right as the ball will bounce down to level ground leaving a mid iron approach to a tough green.

8th - Par 3
A great little par 3! Short, no bunkers, but birdie is not a given. A hump stands in front of the green to make the hole look longer than the yardage suggests. Once on the green it's time to navigate around a gently contoured green.

9th - Par 4
Number 1 rated hole on the course. Fairway runs out at about 235m then leaving a long iron or fairway wood to a big green. The lay up area on the second shot is out to the left.
