Description :

Golf enthusiasts created this 117 acre oasis from the old Chalaghattaswamp. A 7227 yard par 72 course of Peter Thomson design, it currently has a  slope rating of 135 off the championship tees. The fairways of Hybrid Bermuda lead to true-running greens of Tiff Dwarf . The general grain on the greens is westerly except when the ponds lie near. The greens are usually on the fast side with stimp meter ratings above ten during tournaments.

Prevailing winds are south westerly June to August but north easterly the rest of the year. New constructions are developing to the south and all Out-of-Bounds areas are fenced and clearly marked. Bottled water, refreshments and toilets are provided on the course at the 4th, 6th and 15th tees with full service dining at the clubhouse.

Mid-round refreshments can be had at the 10th tee hut. All on-course huts have first-aid kits and intercom to the clubhouse. Carts are not in general use, but, in emergencies, a club car can be called for.

Hole	Hole Image	Description	Black	White	Green	Orange	Red	Par	Index
1		This is an ideal starting hole considering that it is drivable for most pros especially if there is no head wind. My only concern would be to avoid going too far right which is OB along the entire length as it borders the high driving range fence.	330	307	303	277	276	4	17
2		This is a challenging hole as the twin dangers of OB on the right and a Nalla on the left, makes driving accuracy of paramount importance. Large twin bunkers on the right around the landing area add to the degree of difficulty. It is important to take a little more time to concentrate and to ensure that your drive is not wayward. Once you get your drive in, the 2nd shot need not be more than an 8 Iron and the green, barring a left side pin position should not pose too much of a problem. A birdie would be welcome but a par is more than satisfactory.	432	418	393	372	352	4	11
3		A difficult hole to par with water left, OB right and a green severely sloped and well protected by steep bunkers. Ideally, position a drive 10 yards short of the left fairway bunker and a short iron to the centre of the green will get you a par. Be aware that the green slopes away front left and long left. Average players will often do better to lay-up their second in the area short of the green and chip on to the pin.	394	377	366	346	329	4	9
4		A medium length par 3, the well guarded green slopes from right to left and often causes 3 putt bogeys. With a pin positioned on the top right tier, par is a challenge with the prevailing head wind. Long and right along the fence are OB areas.	197	185	162	153	141	3	15
5		A fun hole for the long hitter, with a good chance of getting on to the green in 2 shots. Water waits for errant shots, right, left and beyond the green. The plateau greenu2019s defences are the two steep mounds and a steep fall-off back and right, rejecting shots that are short, right or long. The prevailing tail wind will often help shorter hitters on their drive, leaving a 170 yard carry over water for their second shot, placed short of the right fairway bunker.	560	528	508	480	457	5	7
6		The 3rd toughest hole on this course calls for a long and accurate drive avoiding water right and bunkers left. However, an overly long drive will frequently reach the water along the sloping fairway, so use a driver with caution. The prevailing head wind adds to the difficulty. The severely sloped green allows difficult pin positions high right or long left and long balls often run off into the rough. Players with average shot distances often do better laying up their 2nd shot.	432	421	400	369	346	4	5
7		The most difficult hole on this course demands a 260+ yards long and accurate drive. The prevailing tail wind adds to the difficulty. Pin positions on the well banked green can be very difficult when placed long right or short left. A lofted approach shot is needed to ensure a birdy or par. Players with average shot distances often do better laying up their 2nd shot short of the green-side bunkers and chipping up to the pin.	479	459	445	422	403	4	3
8		A scenic signature hole, where the difficulty level depends on the pin location and wind. A pin located on the back upper tier makes a three-putt more likely. The prevailing cross wind can make club choice critical. Water beyond the green left will trap the skulled tee-shot. The curved green frontage calls for varying carry distances to safely cross the water hazard. Ladies and members playing off the red tees need carry only 75 yards and have the entire green length available but reaching the upper tier becomes more difficult from this angle.	160	146	130	112	100	3	13
9		This 600+ yard par-5 demands a 3 shot strategy for most. On occasion, with a favorable wind, a 300+ yard drive may allow a long or mid iron approach that stays on the green surface but be warned that long approaches to the green risk ending up OB. Club level players often treat this as a four-shotter but even so, approach shots need to be accurately positioned between water hazards. Topped or thin approach or bunker shots will endanger members on the clubhouse. Please exercise caution.	624	597	571	540	507	5	1
1		This hole is a dog-leg left with OB along the left drain. Drivable for a few, it presents little difficulty when played as a regulation 2-on & 2 putt hole. Most players can place their drive to yield a short iron to the green. However, a top right pin position will demand a lofted wedge to allow the ball to stay on the slope to the upper tier.	348	334	312	304	289	4	14
2		Pros will treat this as a two shot par 5, and often loft their drives over the trees left yielding a mid or long iron approach. Club players are best advised to lay-up their second to yield a well-spun and lofted approach shot of around a hundred yards to the fast running green. This green has a severe fall-off long-left and right. A pin position on the right upper tier will call for accuracy and spin if shooting at the pin beyond the bunker on the small landing area.	528	515	493	485	467	5	8
3		This fairway curves left with OB beyond the tree-line left. From an elevated tee position with a view of fighter aircraft taking off, scratch players and pros will often place their tee-shot near or beyond the hundred yard distance marker allowing them to attack the pin with a wedge. Club members should aim to split the fairway leaving around 150 yards on their approach. Water extends to the right of the green fronted by a connecting drain that runs diagonally across the fairway. For safety, please wait for the group ahead to arrive on the 13th tee area before hitting your approach shot.	392	383	369	347	319	4	10
4		A longish par 3, with water left and short. The green is well guarded by bunkers and slopes severely to the centre from all sides but the front. Generally, a tee-shot to the centre of the green will yield par or better. Cross or head winds will determine club selection.	210	197	182	161	142	3	16
5		This 600 yard par-5 curves to the right with water awaiting an over-long tee-shot. Prudent play will call for a 3-shot strategy laying up short of the central water, thence a lay-up short of the water and bunkers nearer the green. Drives to the right (11th fairway) will endanger players approaching their second shot, avoid this please. The green slopes inward from the back and has a steep mound on the left. Place your approach to allow for this.	590	567	550	539	519	5	4
6		Nominally the easiest on the course, this hole can become challenging with a strong head-wind. The double green slopes severely to the front and is receptive to longer clubs. The primary defences of this green are the steep and some-what subtle slopes . Members should be aware of the group ahead on the 16th tee before teeing off.	196	184	166	154	140	3	18
7		The second most difficult hole at the KGA calls for a long and accurate drive short of the water hazard. The fairway doglegs right to a sloped green guarded by water and bunkers either side. Errant tee-shots will end up in the cross-drain hazard or the trees right. The exposed fairway means choosing the right club for the approach becomes critical in high winds. The green slopes right to left, and back to front and 2-putts are not guaranteed. Shorter hitters need to clear the drain with a shot carrying 160+ yards; thence lay-up well short of the green and use a lofted iron approach for most pin positions	431	415	394	383	371	4	2
8		A challenging hole, call for a drive of around 260 yards to allow a short iron to the raised green. Tail-winds can help, but remember the green elevation will call for a longer club. The raised double green is guarded by bunkers all around. Pins located back left or right bring the slopes into play when at- tacking the pin. Shorter hitters may need to play a fairway or rescue wood on their approach.	442	416	381	356	340	4	12
9		A tough finishing hole, this par-4 demands a 270+ yard drive between the bunkers. The fairway slopes right into the drain and slices will end up wet. Water is also in play to the right of the green. The back-to-front sloping green falls off long into a water-hazard, and is guarded on both sides by steep bunkers. Pin positions long left or right often lead to 3 putts if the approach shot is wayward. Average hitters often lay-up short of the cross drain and loft an approach to the green.	474	447	427	398	377	4	6
