Tee Off

The easiest hole in Umkomaas, an easy to reach 250+ meter hole, if you play it right. The eager golfers will always want to try drive the green, but danger lurks not so far behind. Left has a number of tees low enough to make your approach impossible at places as you'll need to go over the front left bunker with a punch shot! Tall trees hug the fairway all up the right hand side of the fairway. If you long and straight, you'll be able to drive the green, if you're just a little erratic think hard. The fairway is slightly uphill so don't expect too much run. You want to be mid right on the fairway to open your approach shot to any pin placement.

Approach

Hopefully you landed mid right of the fairway to open your shot to any pin placement. The green is guarded by two bunkers, one front left and the other hugging most of the right hand side of the green. The most difficult pin placement is front left, tucked behind the front left bunker, so take an extra iron to avoid this bunker, You don't want to pull it short left, steep incline awaits you and your chipping will have to be on top form.

The Green

This green is wide and runs from back to front allowing for some resistance. You don't want to be short on the front of the green, else your ball runs off onto the fairway, as well as the front left, where you could roll into the bunker. Control your shots because if you are behind the pin you are facing a downhill putt. Any side putt can have a wicked turn and depending on the speed of the greens, you could end up further from the hole than your original putt.
