Our golf course has a challenging, yet super exciting 18-hole all greens golf course, consisting of six par 3 holes, eight par 4 holes and the five par 5 holes. The longest par 5 is hole 12 with a measurement of 558 meters ( considering you stay well at the middle of the fairway ) yet not the toughest hole on the course. The shortest hole being the par 3 with a measurement of 120 meters making it the least challenging hole therefore a “hole in one” is always in sight. The most challenging hole is hole 14 . On this par 4 you have to put on your brave heart to follow the famous tiger line. Distance and accuracy is paramount in playing below par Either you choose to play the front nine or back nine be guaranteed that you will always want to play more on this course
