Play your best golf at SouthLinks Golf Course, which is 18 holes, par 72. Designed by Japan's renowned Hisamitsu Ohnishi, who has imprinted his work at Cypress Golf Club and Takamaki Country Club, there are two signature holes to watch out for. In hole six, your drive needs to carry more than 200m to clear the water that runs the entire length of the left side of the fairway. However, keep a close eye on the narrow fairway hemmed in between the water and the fairway bunker on the right as you approach the green.
Hole four, par three is another hole that can be deceiving. A large steep bunker guards the front centre of the green and on its left, there is a pretty waterfall. It does not pay to overshoot the green as the fast hard green does not bite and overshooting it will leave you in a tough spot. Cool your temperament by taking in the breathtaking and lush sceneries as the course is located near the sea.
