Interactive Map
This interactive map shows the details of the course and its holes, which are described in more detail below.
This par 36 course has 9 holes:
- Balrog’s Bridge, par 5. Reminiscent of the bridge of Khazad Dum, this causeway course starting at the floodlight and ending at the hole at its opposite end is a cause for concentration and accuracy, especially when the wind is blowing. To the left is the out of bounds area and to the right is a precipitous drop that would require a lot of control to get the cock back up to the course.
- Staircrow, par 4. Starting upstairs in the bedroom with your foot against the wall below the small window, you need to avoid the pillar in order to navigate down the stairs, around the door and into the wood basket in the fire place.
- Hot Stuff, par 4. One foot must be in the sauna to start. Play through the door, through the kitchen and into the dining hall. The hole is in front of the bar.
- Keyhole Corridor, par 5. Starting in the back corner of Bethany’s room, play through the shared bathroom, down the corridor and into Kerri and Stephen’s room and into the hole at the back of the second room. There are many narrow angles and doorways to navigate here.
- Window of Opportunity, par 4. Play through the sliding door off the balcony and into the door of the house next door. Shoot over the bar and into the corner of the sitting room, into the wooden cube.
- Bra Braai, par 4. Start with a foot against the wall near the foot of the stairs. Play out of the door ahead, across the grass, over or under the grape arch and the hole is in the barbecue.
- Pizza Off, par 3. With a foot against the dresser in the games room, play through the open door and over to the pizza oven. The hole is the shelf in front of the locked and verboten pizza oven.
- Child’s Play, par 4. Start with both feet in the sand pit at the bottom of the slide. Play past the trees and into the wendy house. The stable door should have the bottom half closed, requiring a skillful shot through the open top half of the door.
- Pool Party, par 3. Start under the cover on top of the pump house. The hole is on the opposite corner of the pool, so make a choice whether to play safe around the edge or take on a long drive across the pool, risking a penalty.
