The
high quality course design provides varying challenges for the golfer.
Several good scoring opportunities exist over the neat and alluring
front nine, particularly on the shorter par fours. However, this
should not lead to complacency! The acclaimed back nine at Water
Rock, where water comes into play during no less than five holes
is a real test of character and golfing skill.
The signature hole is the 240 yard par 3 on the 12th, known locally
as
"Swan Lake". This truly magnificent par three provides
the golfer with
the intimidating prospect of a 200 yard carry over water from the
back tee and has been described as
one of the best 50 holes in
Europe.
The climax to the round comes as the superb sequence of finishing
holes designed around three lakes, culminating in the outstanding
par four on the 18th hole played uphill into the prevailing wind.
