The 8th is an outstanding par five of 470 metres, downhill all the way. But water at the left and at the back of the putting surface demands a brave approach from the player intent on reaching the green in two. Course architect Gary Player has modeled the 182 metre 17th on Augusta's famous 12th hole. But Fancourt's par three is even more tricky. It has water from tee to green and plays a club or two longer.
Attractive flowerbeds frame the green.
The 450 metre par 18th is both a dramatic and beautiful hole, with the fairway running through an avenue of old oak trees, and water fronting the green in the shape of a horseshoe. Behind the green is the huge, plush clubhouse, where portraits and photographs of the game's great players from a 'hall of fame' in the wide corridor that runs the length of the building. Holes 19 to 27 run along a river valley. Water comes into play at each of the four excellent finishing holes two par fours, a par three and a par five. But in order to go for the flag, especially if its tucked away on the right of the green, the tee shot must be hit over the comer of the small lake that comes into play.
