Hole by hole

1~~Par 4~~Stroke index 17“Steady off the 1st — just find the fairway. Water waits left and right on the way in, so play the safe line, two putts, and get out of there with a par.”2~~Par 4~~Stroke index 3“Plays long on its day — and into an Easterly it's every bit of the yardage. Water down the left, so lean right off the tee. A par here is a good one, any day.”3~~Par 4~~Stroke index 9“Dogleg right — the big hitters can take on the corner; the rest of us just steer clear of the course's only fairway bunker. Then it's up to a raised green, so take one more club and don't come up short.”4~~Par 5~~Stroke index 13“A wide fairway between the reeds right and the bush left — so open the shoulders off the tee. Then it's your call: lay up, or take the green on in two. Go for it and there's water lurking short, so be sure it's your shot.”5~~Par 4~~Stroke index 1“Stroke one, and it asks the question off the tee: take on the water, or lay up short for a decent second. Bunkers guard the left, and the green rolls and rolls — a par here is one to keep.”6~~Par 3~~Stroke index 7“Everything hangs on where they've tucked the pin. Bunkers either side, so favour the fat of the green — and whatever you do, don't go long: over the back is real trouble.”7~~Par 5~~Stroke index 15“Not long, but straight and narrow — this one's about keeping it in play, not muscle. Find the fairway, thread your second down the pipe, and if you're going in two, mind the tight entrance. Position wins here every time.”8~~Par 3~~Stroke index 5“When the pin's on the back, don't get sucked in — go long and you're dead. Bunkers and greenside catchments make this a tough little par 3, so play the middle, take your three, and walk.”9~~Par 4~~Stroke index 11“Keep it central off the tee — right is trouble in the trees, and there are greenside bunkers on the left. A par as you make the turn is never a bad result; take it and head to the back nine happy.”10~~Par 4~~Stroke index 10“Dogleg right — find your spot off the tee, then have a go at the green. The only danger is long: water waits over the back, so take enough to get there, never enough to fly it.”11~~Par 3~~Stroke index 18“The card calls it the gentlest hole, but don't be fooled — into a Westerly it's a tough little three. Water short, the green falls away long, so the window's small. The locals know the line; play the middle and trust it.”12~~Par 4~~Stroke index 4“Our signature hole — ancient Yellowwoods lining the fairway and the baboons keeping watch over the green. Stroke four, so it plays as hard as it is beautiful. Take a breath: welcome to the tranquility of the back nine.”13~~Par 3~~Stroke index 8“A tough green to find, and no bargain to putt once you're on it. Aim for the heart of it, take your two putts, and walk off happy — par is a good score here.”14~~Par 4~~Stroke index 14“Short enough to tempt a go at the green — and real reward if you get it close. But the old oaks still stand in the fairway, so pick your gap and commit. Brave and accurate wins here; brave and loose finds timber.”15~~Par 5~~Stroke index 12“Careful — this hole has been the undoing of many a good round. Find your line off the tee, because the approach is never a simple one. A par here is well earned; take it and don't look back.”16~~Par 4~~Stroke index 2“Another beauty — Yellowwoods down the left and water lurking short. Stroke two, so it bites as well as it charms: carry the water, stay clear of the timber. On its day, especially from the Yellow tees, there's not a finer hole in Plett.”17~~Par 4~~Stroke index 6“Water runs the whole left side, and guards short of the green as well — so this hole rewards a good drive. Find the fairway and you're left with a simple shot in; leak it left and it's swimming. Favour the right and back your tee shot.”18~~Par 5~~Stroke index 16“Home — a dogleg left and a good walk up the hill to finish. Spot where they've cut the pin, then commit to it. The balcony's watching every step of the way in, so make your last swing count and give the folk something to cheer about.”by Pivot
