Hole 12
Hole 8
Hole 9. Par 4. 268 metres.
Hole 11. Par 3. 170 metres.
A short but challenging Par 4 where ‘risk and reward’
weighs into your best-play strategy. With trouble on
either side of the fairway, a long iron or fairway wood
‘lay-up’ down the middle is the smartest play, leaving
you a short iron or pitching wedge to an elevated
green. A cluster of bunkers protect the right hand edge
providing some ‘food for thought’ for long-hitters who
think they might reach this off the tee.
This challenging hole is the longest Par 3 at Manly. Club
choice is the key here as the bunkers guard this large
green and being long or left off the tee makes it tough to
score. A ‘middle of the green’ tee-shot is the best play,
giving yourself two putts to get the right result here.
Hole 10. Par 4. 317 metres.
A very picturesque hole that offers an inviting drive.
Depending on pin placement, a long drive down the
middle or just left of centre is ideal. Your second shot is
uphill, over the creek to an elevated and shallow green.
A gaping bunker protects the front right hand side of the
green so depending on the pin location, the left side of
the green is the percentage play.
A relatively short ‘left to right’ uphill dogleg par 4 where
a good straight drive is well rewarded. Centre/left is the
ideal line as two large fairway bunkers on the right are best
avoided. For your approach shot, going long to the middle
is the smart play with safety provided by the ‘backboard’
created by the high ground surrounding the green.
Hole 12. Par 4. 380 metres. ()!
