A testing opening hole that

is normally played into the

wind and can be deceptively

difficult when windy.

Accuracy off the tee is impor-

tant with bushes left and right

as well as two fairway bunkers

around the landing zone.

The 2nd shot is downhill to

a large undulating green that

is protected by a very large

bunker to the left.

An attractive hole to start your

round on.



A spectacular classic “risk and

reward” par 5.

The tee shot is played from

an elevated tee, over a large

tress, to a narrow fairway.

The 2nd shot is where the

choice must be made – either

risk going for the green, with

a creek in front and rocks sur-

ronding the green, or lay up

for a wedge shot to the green.

A good chance for a birdie if

played well.

A straightaway par 3, played

to a large green.

Probably the easiest hole

on the course, and a good

chance to relax and gain the

confidence before the real

test begins.

Choose your club well and a

par will not be far away.

A downhill tee shot to a gen-

erous hidden fairway.

The second shot is where the

test begins. After a good drive,

an accurate short iron shot is

required to land on the island

green that is also well pro-

tected by bunkers. Accuracy

is the key as always on an is-

land green.

The undulations on the large

green will also test your put-

ting skills.

A very testing uphill par 4.

with any par here accepted

gratefullly.

You must avoid the bunkers

with the tee shot and take an

extra club with the second

shot to hit the wide but shal-

low green.

Don’t be decieved by the

looks of this straight running

hole, as it can be quite diffi-

clut.

Played from an elevated tee

set back into the hill, the par 5

sixth hole is downhill all the

way and plays much shorter

than the yardage indicates.

For the second shot, the

longer hitter has to decide

whether to cut over the water,

trees and sand and go for the

green or take the safe route to

the right.

The safe way leaves a dif-

ficult short iron to a

sloping green but can be a

smarter choice on a windy

day or with a shorter hitter.


Probably the most dangerous

tee shot on the course.

The decision has to be made

whether to cut over the lake

and make the hole much

shorter or take the safe route

to the left which leaves a very

long, tough second shot to a

large relatively flat green that

is protected by bunkers to the

left and back right.

Think hard and choose well

off the tee.

A very beautiful, yet testing

par 3.

A tough hole with tee shot

over water and the long undu-

lating green is well protected

by a large bunker on the left

front side.

A long, tough par 4 with a

slightly uphill tee shot.

The second shot will be a

long iron to a green that is

well protected by water and

sand to the left and a swale to

the right.

Fairway bunkers to the right

of the landing zone makes an

accurate drive important.

A par 4 dog leg left, where the

decision is how much to bite

off with the tee shot.

A safe drive to the right leaves

a short iron to the undulat-

ing green. A good birdie

chance on the tenth, before

some of the tougher holes of

the course make low scoring

more difficult.


Possibly one of the most

attractive holes on the course,

the eleventh is a dangerous

little par 3, with water

guarding the green to the right

and over the back.

A hole where you should

always aim for the centre of

the green and be content with

a par when you can make it.

This hole also playes longer

than the yardage indicates.

The tee shot is to a generous

fairway but the second shot is

where the challenge lies.

You must take one extra club

and avoid the deep bunker to

the right and the swale to the

left of the green.


The best birdie chance on the

golf course.

The thirteenth plays dowmhill

all the way and the drive is to

a generous fairway.

The danger with the second

shot is the water hazards that

pinch in to the fairway about

60 yards short of the green.

The most testing par 3 on

the course, especially when

played from the tiger tee to

the back left pin position.

The hole is played over a large

lake and the green is protect-

ed by large bunkers.

Aim for the heart of the green

and be happy with a par.


The most difficult hole at

Black Mountain Golf Club.

Played uphill to a fairway with

a creek running along the left

hand side.

The second shot plays longer

than it looks, to a narrow well

protectoed green.

Don´t be upset with a bogey

on this hole.

A spectacular tee shot from

an elevated tee with a hidden

green behind trees to the left.

The back tee requires a carry

of 250 yards over a creek with

the hillside on the left.

If you can survive your drive,

the second shot is straight

forward to a green guarded by

a huge rock on the left.

The seventeenth is a classic

“risk and reward” hole.

Long hitters can go for the

green, but it requires a long

carry over a creek.

The safe option is to lay

up onto the fairway, that is

protected on three sides by

a creek and then play a short

iron to the green.

If played properly, this hole is

a good birdie chance.

A long uphill par 5 where a

par is always a good score.

The tee shot is to a large and

open fairway.

If you can avoid the fairway

bunkers with the second shot,

the challenge begins with the

approach.

The green is guarded by

deep bunkers at the front and

right which will catch any

misjudged third shot.

Settle for a par every time on

this hole.
