Course Notes

Hole 1

Blue

  • Par: 5
  • Distance: 485 m

Red

  • Par: 5
  • Distance: 445 m

PRO TIP  

Take aim at the left hand side of the fairway, to allow your ball to take the slope to the right. Longer hitters may be able to go for home in two, however the smarter play is to lay your second shot up just short of the bunker which leaves a short pitch on to a large gently sloping back to front green. Great birdie chance to start your round off well.

Hole 2

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 353 m

Red

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 325 m

PRO TIP 

All uphill, the second hole is considered one of the hardest holes at Devil bend by many. This hole will favor those who are able to move the ball right to left. Driver may not always be the best option, as a fairway wood or long iron can take the trees on the right out of play. A tough dog-leg left, with tall trees lining either side of the fairway, the second shot can make or break your hole. With deep bunkers guarding either side of a two-tiered green, an extra club may be something to consider when hitting in.

Hole 3

Blue

  • Par: 3
  • Distance: 135 m

Red

  • Par: 3
  • Distance: 122 m

PRO TIP

Devilbends signature Par 3, the third hole is measured at 135m, however as this hole is all downhill, it may pay to take one club less. 3 bunkers, a water hazard and OOB left and long, make this little gem such a popular hole.

Hole 4

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 381 m

Red

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 361 m

PRO TIP

One of the easier holes on the course, this straight-forward par 4 can be a snack if your drive finds the fairway. With trees lining the fairway again, a straight drive is crucial to set up your approach shot. Golfers of all abilities can make this green in regulation as the final 100m of the fairway slope severely down to a large green. The only hazards on this hole are found surrounding the green, no sand, however water surround the left, right and back of this green.

Hole 5

Blue

  • Par: 5
  • Distance: 462 m

Red

  • Par: 5
  • Distance: 393 m

PRO TIP

A massive dam that streams from the Devilbend Reservoir takes up the right hand side for the majority of this hole. With a fairway that slopes towards the water, a drive down the left hand side is the ideal play for most golfers, longer hitters, however, may be tempted to take on the water. This fairway slopes uphill into a two-tiered green which is guarded by a small bunker on the left hand side.

Hole 6

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 379 m

Red

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 314 m

PRO TIP

A challenging 379m par 4 involves a dogleg to the  left. A tee shot down the right hand side that reaches the bend is ideal as this will leave a mid iron into a back to front sloping elevated green which can cause trouble if you miss left or long. The more aggressive golfer may choose to take on the dogleg as the reward is short iron or wedge into the green

Hole 7

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 356 m

Red

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 318 m

PRO TIP   Similar to the 2nd this long uphill par 4 doglegs to the left. the fairway is once again lined with tall trees either side, a drive to the right hand side is ideal and sets up challenging approach shot into a two-tiered green surrounded by bunkers. An extra club may be necessary if the pin is located on the top tier (good idea to check the pin location walking down the first) 

Hole 8

Blue

  • Par: 3
  • Distance: 178 m

Red

  • Par: 3
  • Distance: 141 m

PRO TIP

Downhill par three to a generous, flat green.  Again make sure of your club selection, and avoid missing the green to the left.

Hole 9

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 303 m

Red

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 277 m

PRO TIP

Play your drive down the right hand side of the fairway.  Very narrow green, so make sure you are on line.

Hole 10

Blue

  • Par: 5
  • Distance: 475 m

Red

  • Par: 5
  • Distance: 445 m  

PRO TIP

Avoid the hazards to the right with your teeshot.  This leaves a blind second shot to the green that is reachable for the longer hitters.  Play your second down the right hand side which should run back to the middle of the fairway leaving a simple pitch or chip straight up the narrow green.

Hole 11

Blue

  • Par: 3
  • Distance: 161 m

Red

  • Par: 3
  • Distance: 144 m

PRO TIP

The green is raised and sits at an awkward angle.  Take enough club to carry the front bunker and reach the green safely.

Hole 12

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 408 m

Red

  • Par: 5
  • Distance: 394 m

PRO TIP

Signature hole, with water all down the left hand side of your tee shot, the second is just as daunting to a raised green surrounded by bunkers.  Second shot plays longer than you think.  This hole takes two great shots to make the green in regulation.

Hole 13

Blue

  • Par: 3
  • Distance: 155 m

Red

  • Par: 3
  • Distance: 128 m

PRO TIP

This hole has a very tricky green. The front right quarter is very sloped and balls landing here will result in a difficult first putt.

Hole 14

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 346 m

Red

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 266 m

PRO TIP

Dogleg right, aim down the right edge with your drive as the fairway slopes from right to left. Leaving a second shot that is slightly uphill to to the green, (take an extra club).  Try and leave the ball below the hole on this green as downhill putts will have your knees knocking.

Hole 15

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 391 m

Red

  • Par: 5
  • Distance: 368 m

PRO TIP

Need to be straight on this hole, OOB runs down the left side of the entire fairway.  Once you negotiate the drive this leaves a long second shot downhill to the narrow green which is guarded left and right by deep bunkers.

Hole 16

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 384 m

Red

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 328 m

PRO TIP

Aim your teeshot down the left hand side of this long par 4. The second shot requires another long straight hit to a narrow elevated green which drops away severely on both sides. This is one of the toughest holes on the course.

Hole 17

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 330 m 

Red

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 318 m

PRO TIP

Aim at the fairway bunker with your teeshot on this relatively short par 4.  This will leave you with an easy pitch to a large flat green.  Birdie Chance.

Hole 18

Blue

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 316 m

Red

  • Par: 4
  • Distance: 255 m

PRO TIP

The final hole aim up the centre right side of the fairway to avoid being blocked out by the trees on the corner.  This leaves an uphill shot to a tricky green, make sure you have enough club.
