HOLE 1
Distance: 397 m
Par: 4
Str: 5
A tough opening hole which requires an accurate drive. A second shot with a long
iron will leave you on a green which is protected by two bunkers.
HOLE 2
Distance: 140 m
Par: 3
Str: 15
A great short hole which requires pin point shot. Careful of missing the green
as water protects the left and bush protects the right.
HOLE 3
Distance: 453 m
Par: 5
Str: 11
This is one of the few wide fairways on the course so enjoy the easy feeling. A
well positioned second will leave a nice approach to a large green.
HOLE 4
Distance: 423 m
Par: 5
Str: 13
A typical Beachwood tee shot which brings ___ to most golfers. Two well placed
shots are preferred to leave you a short iron to a narrow green well protected
by bunkers.
HOLE 5
Distance: 324 m
Par: 4
Str: 9
An elevated tee aims at a generous fairway which dog legs right. Not a long hole
but one which requires caution. The green is protected by a water hazard right
of the green.
HOLE 6
Distance: 403 m
Par: 4
Str: 1
This tough par 4 has an elevated tee with beautiful views of the sea. Two long
accurate shots are needed to hit a large green. Enjoy the view.
HOLE 7
Distance: 151 m
Par: 3
Str: 17
Not a long hole but well protected by bunkers, out of bounds and water. Club
selection is critical.
HOLE 8
Distance: 308 m
Par: 4
Str: 7
A dog leg left with a tee shot over the natural mangrove swamps. A three wood
will leave you with a short to mid iron into a sloping green.
HOLE 9
Distance: 347 m
Par: 4
Str: 3
An intimidating tee shot with out of bounds on the left and bush on the right.
If the tee shot is not long enough expect a blind approach to a generous green.
HOLE 10
Distance: 396 m
Par: 4
Str: 4
By this stage you will know why Beachwood is renowned for narrow tee shots. This
hole is no different. A long tee shot is required to reach the green which
slopes left.
HOLE 11
Distance: 473 m
Par: 5
Str: 8
The feeling is you can open your shoulders a bit but do not be fooled. The
longer hitter can have a go for two and risk a lost ball. For the shorter
players the lay up short of the big bunker is the way to go.
HOLE 12
Distance: 148 m
Par: 3
Str: 16
One of the easier holes which requires the correct club selection.
HOLE 13
Distance: 389 m
Par: 4
Str: 6
If you are intimidated easily, this hole may require blinkers. A fantastic
raised tee allows for a great view of the hole. Be safe rather than sorry.
HOLE 14
Distance: 273 m
Par: 4
Str: 18
The long hitters will have a go and if you get it right well done. Beware of the
slopey green. 3 putts are common.
HOLE 15
Distance: 417 m
Par: 4
Str: 2
A long hole with a dog leg left. This hole is slightly more forgiving so if
there is a bad shot to be played this is the hole.
HOLE 16
Distance: 327 m
Par: 4
Str: 12
Another short par 4 which is best played with a long iron or 3 wood off the tee
and short iron to the green.
HOLE 17
Distance: 455 m
Par: 5
Str: 14
A good par five which gives plenty of room off the tee. This hole’s protection
is the green. Ensure your ball is below the hole when attacking the pin.
HOLE 18
Distance: 185 m
Par: 3
Str: 10
A challenging closing hole which requires a long iron or three wood. Make a par
here and you have closed off on a good note.
