  • Hole #1 Gary Player Course

    Hole #1 | Par 4

    Great starting hole. Dogleg right with generous landing area left of the fairway bunker at the corner. Longer hitters can carry the bunker to leave a short iron in. Green slopes gently from back to front.

  • Hole #2 Gary Player Course

    Hole #2 | Par 4

    More room down the left side than meets the eye but waste area can catch longer drives. Fairway bunkers to the right create a blind approach. Fairly flat green surface with a tough swale in the back right portion.

  • Hole #3 Gary Player Course

    Hole #3 | Par 3

    Picturesque par 3 framed by huge oak trees. Green sits lower than the tee so it plays shorter than advertised. Waste area to the left makes for a tough up-and-down. Back of this green is tricky.

  • Hole #4 Gary Player Course

    Hole #4 | Par 5

    Target is the middle of the fairway bunker. Fairway splits and is divided by a series of bunkers. Check hole location to determine which side to play from here. Longer hitters can go for it, but being on the proper side of the green and below the hole is a must otherwise three putts are common.

    A forced carry over water requires a solid tee shot. Favor the right side for the best results. This green is very receptive but try to stay on the proper tier for the best chance at birdie.

  • Hole #6 Gary Player Course

    Hole #6 | Par 3

    Another beautiful hole with a water carry to a huge two-tiered green. Shorter hitters should favor the left side as the approach in front is generous here. Check your hole location: At 50 yards deep, this is a “4 club” green.

  • Hole #7 Gary Player Course

    Hole #7 | Par 4

    A spectacular yet nerve-racking par 4. The fairway is wide but the right side provides the most level lies and less water carry. Favor the right side of the green if unsure or against the wind. The carry over the bulkhead gets longer the farther left the pin sits.

  • Hole #8 Gary Player Course

    Hole #8 | Par 4

    A solid drive down the right center may catch the downhill slope and shorten this long par 4. The green is very level in the front, but becomes more undulated towards the rear and shots will funnel back to the center of the green from the back.

  • Hole #9 Gary Player Course

    Hole #9 | Par 5

    A true birdie opportunity! This par 5 has ample driving area and usually plays downwind. The green is guarded front and right so favor left center. There is a forgiving grass collection area left of the green. This is a deep green so check the hole location and be careful when it’s back.

  • Hole #10 Gary Player Course

    Hole #10 | Par 4

    Long and strong! The tee shot should be center or slightly right because longer drives left will be blocked by overhanging trees. The green pitches slightly right, away from the bunkers. Stay out of the waste area right if you can.

  • Hole #11 Gary Player Course

    Hole #11 | Par 4

    A welcome relief after #10. A very large landing area narrows and turns right at the lake. This green slopes gently from the back and is receptive to all approach shots. Aim for the center of this small green for a good birdie chance.

  • Hole #12 Gary Player Course

    Hole #12 | Par 4

    Left center off the tee is a must to avoid the water and grove of trees to the right. The approach requires a half-club extra to the elevated green. Although it is vital to carry the ridge fronting the green, try to leave the ball below the hole. It can be fast as lightning putting downhill here!

    Hole #13 | Par 3

    From the elevated tee you can see all the challenges of this hole. The green is very receptive but allow for the ball to feed slightly left. Be careful with back right hole location because anything long and right can bounce into the water.

  • Hole #14 Gary Player Course

    Hole #14 | Par 4

    Uphill then downhill. The drive should hug the bunkers for the shortest route – Long hitters will carry the right bunker for a short iron approach. Balls landing on the left side of the green will feed towards the center and back hole locations can be attacked. Birdies will be made here.

  • Hole #15 Gary Player Course

    Hole #15 | Par 4

    From the elevated tee, favor the right side as much as dare – drives long and left play 2-3 clubs longer. Although both tiers of this green are flat, try to hit your approach on the proper side for a makeable putt.

  • Hole #16 Gary Player Course

    Hole #16 | Par 5

    Signature hole on the East! A true “risk-reward” par 5 with spectacular views. Aim right center off the tee to avoid the huge bunker left and provide a better angle for the second shot. Leave your lay-up in the 100-yard range to use the entire length of this 50-yard deep green. Putting here is much easier from below and right of the hole.

    This short par 3 allows for an aggressive shot and a good birdie chance. Unless it’s a back right pin, take dead aim! There is more room than you can see to the left over the mound.

  • Hole #18 Gary Player Course

    Hole #18 | Par 5

    A great finish! Longer hitters should favor the right side of the fairway for a chance to reach in two. Keeping the lay-up shot in the fairway is critical as the entire left side is bordered by a wandering lake bank. This green is firm and fast, so chips and putts coming from the right side towards the water will be very quick.
