1 tee, fairway to the right, with incoming 18 on the other side of the trees. In looking at 1 fairway, Sam Snead was said to ask, "Where's the other half?"
I offer this picture of the Par 3 2nd to illustrate the proximity of the Indian Ocean and all its winds:
3 tee. I prefer #8 to this hole, but 3 is outstanding, too. You flirt with the bunker left on your tee shot. A well-struck shot then brings the right-hand bunker into play on the following shot, given your attempts to negotiate a right-to-left wind. Lastly, note the gathering bush on either side; bottle hole?
A look back at 3 tee:
4 green, with 5 tee to the left. The fourth hole doubles back from 3 green, then. Apparently, the dune running in front of the green has been de-topped; originally, it was higher and obscured the green more completely:
5th hole approach -- downhill to the river:
Looking back to 5 tee. Note Casuarina or Australian pine stand. These are invasive and the club is removing them -- but only after overcoming the strident objections of members who saw them as "tee shot saviors" and windscreens!
5 green from the right -- balls tend to plug in the sand...ugh:
