Keep second shot away from the left green side bunkers. Hole 3: Par 3 (Black Tees: 162m, Blue Tees: 157m, White Tees: 141m, Red Tees: 111m) Keep tee shot to the right to avoid deep left bunker Hole 4: Par 5 (Black Tees: 520m, Blue Tees: 497m, White Tees: 471m, Red Tees: 438m) Danger at 210m off the tee. Keep second shot to the left or you will be in trouble. Hole 5: Par 4 (Black Tees: 419m, Blue Tees: 412m, White Tees: 385m, Red Tees: 357m) Tee shot is the key. Bunkers at 183m, 210m,233m and 255m. Large green, keep second long and left. Hole 6: Par 3 (Black Tees: 195m, Blue Tees: 179m, White Tees: 175m, Red Tees: 149m) Best to be long and avoid the bunkers at the front Hole 7: Par 4 (Black Tees: 285m, Blue Tees: 278m, White Tees: 261m, Red Tees: 239m) Shallow green, best to leave a full wedge shot to stop it at the top. Hole 8: Par 5 (Black Tees: 495m, Blue Tees: 472m, White Tees: 448m, Red Tees: 408m) Keep right off the tee, cautious lay up over the bunkers to leave 90m to the green. Hole 9: Par 4 (Black Tees: 407m, Blue Tees: 400m, White Tees: 373m, Red Tees: 335m) Need to be in the middle of the fairway off the tee to get a good shot at the green. Par here is good golfing. Hole 10: Par 4 (Black Tees: 390m, Blue Tees: 370m, White Tees: 366m, Red Tees: 338m) Aim to the right side of the fairway and you should carry the bunkers. Hole 11: Par 4 (Black Tees: 405m, Blue Tees: 392m, White Tees: 372m, Red Tees: 341m) Try to get on the left side of the split to get a good look at the green. Hole 12: Par 4 (Black Tees: 330m, Blue Tees: 309m, White Tees: 294m, Red Tees: 254m) Avoid the temptation of the green and try to get up on the right mound of the fairway. Hole 13: Par 5 (Black Tees: 508m, Blue Tees: 493m, White Tees: 479m, Red Tees: 443m) Narrow fairway so you must avoid trouble. Aim left of the tee. Hole 14: Par 3 (Black Tees: 172m, Blue Tees: 154m, White Tees: 144m, Red Tees: 115m) Make sure you have enough club. Watch the wind. Hole 15: Par 4 (Black Tees: 382m, Blue Tees: 362m, White Tees: 345m, Red Tees: 314m) Aim to the right side of the fairway and catch the ridge. Hole 16: Par 3 (Black Tees: 138m, Blue Tees: 125m, White Tees: 120m, Red Tees: 106m) Only a short hole of 120m. Don’t go right or left. Long isn’t good either. Hole 17: Par 5 (Black Tees: 498m, Blue Tees: 481m, White Tees: 453m, Red Tees: 410m) A true 2 shot hole. Play safely and avoid fairway bunkers. Hole 18: Par 4 (Black Tees: 394m, Blue Tees: 370m, White Tees: 363m, Red Tees: 335m) Tight approach to the green. It is best to have a bit of extra club. The Links Kennedy Bay is a thinking golfers paradise. Players need to plot their way around the links in a reserved and cautious manner. Any untamed bravado will be dealt with in the severest manner. Good Golfing. |
