Tee Off

A very exciting hole to play, where risk can provide reward. This elevated tee box provides you the choice of clearing the ravine if you are able to or else you will need to lay up for an extended approach shot. The trouble is that you have out-of-bounds on the right hand side and although the fairway has a lot of width, the wind direction will determine your plan of attach. Go into the water gully and you'll be lucky to make par. The wind will either work with you or against you. One of the many important decisions you'll make at Umkomaas will be on this tee box.

Approach

If you laid up your shot, it is a wise move as you now have a slightly longer club to hit into the green, but it's doable. Aim slightly left of the green, as the fairway runs from left to right. The green is guarded by 2 bunkers on either side so it's best to let your ball run up to the green from the left hand side. If you have cleared the water gully, you now have a short iron or wedge into the green, whereby you can now attack the pin, provided you landed in the fairway of course.

The Green

The green runs slightly from front to back but even out towards the middle and is guarded by left and right bunkers. Being in the middle of this green helps but doesn't guarantee a birdie. The green is tricky to read.
