Gowrie Farm is 1 450m above sea level. Allow for the ball travelling further than at the coast. And remember…
As quoted by Bobby Jones
Stroke 7. Dog-leg right. The line off the tee is the right half of the fairway, which will leave 150m to 120m to the green. Big hitters can reach the wetland.
Stroke 11. Dog-leg left where the big hitter can get home in two. The shorter drive needs 130m to carry the wetland and 186m to carry to the first bunker.
Stroke 3. A strong par 4. To get the best line in to the green, favour the right side of the fairway. The bunker on the left is 175m to the green.
Stroke 15. A cheeky par three where club selection is all important. Too much club brings the water into play.
Stroke 1. A monster into the prevailing wind. A worthy stroke one hole.
Stroke 17. Short dog-leg left, the big hitter can carry the bunker on the left of the fairway. For others, the option may be a 3 or 5 wood, leaving 100m to 120m to the green.
Stroke 9. This is a drivable par 4 for the strong player. The safe line is to either play short of or over the Island of Turf grass in the centre of the fairway. The Island is 120m from the green.
Stroke 13. A par 3 where it is better to be short than long. Avoid the “spectacle” bunkers on the right.
Stroke 5. Short par 4. Long iron or 5 wood is all you need for the tee shot. This will leave you a wedge or 9 iron to a green on the water’s edge. Safer to be on the right of the fairway, as the left runs into the water.
Stroke 10. A blind tee shot over the stake will give the same shot as on the first hole, with an additional 30m to the green.
Stroke 18. A long shot to a narrow green. Better to be long than in the front bunkers.
Stroke 2. A long straight tee shot should leave you with about 150m to the green.
Stroke 14. This is the 3rd, played 50m longer. The long hitters can reach the far bunkers on the right and left.
Stroke 4. A strong three shooter. Stay out of the bunkers if you want to make a par.
Stroke 16. A pretty little hole with all the trouble on the right.
Stroke 8. A good drive will get you to the crest of the hill and a clear shot to the green. Aim at the bunker in the distance. The long hitter can, however, reach this bunker and may choose to try and carry the bunker on the right of the fairway.
Stroke 12. Here, you play to the 7th green. The only trouble close to the green is the bunker on the right.
Stroke 6. A hole that records as many 7s as 4s and 5s. Play it carefully and it is not as dangerous as it looks. The tee shot can be played over the bunkers for the brave, or left for the average golfer, who will then have about 150m to the stake on the peninsula fairway. If you are 175m or more from the stake, lay up and play your third to the stake, which is 100m from the centre of the green. The big hitter can get home in 2, but watch the water with your tee shot.
