Hole by holes - Mangawhai Golf Club

Hole 1: Silver Stream	Hole 2: Windmill	Hole 3: Bellingham's Tim
A fairly short par 5 but watch out for the water right and behind the green if you are going for it in two..	The toughest hole on the course, a dog leg par 4, needing a well placed tee shot to give yourself a fighting chance for par.	A short par 4 full of trouble both left and right, a well positioned tee shot is required. A nice approach is helpful to this tricky green, being behind the hole can prove fatal.

Hole 4: Rocky Crossing	Hole 5: Pipi Smith	Hole 6: Duck Lake
A nice par 3 with a false front, the green works away both left and right, consideration of the flag position can help with your next shot.	A tricky par 4, dog-leg left with trouble on both sides. Best chance for par will be to keep your approach shot below the flag.	A long par 3 with a big green can lead to some lengthy putts. Avoid the right-hand side, short left isn't the worst place to be.

Hole 7: George Mertz	Hole 8: Lone Pine	Hole 9: Tipperary
A very testing par 4, especially tight and long from the blue tees. Bunkers guard the elevated 3-tiered green front left and right. Approach accuracy is at a premium.	A par 4 with an elevated tee and an open fairway to tempt you. Aim left to avoid the large tree blocking your way on the right. Think par or better.	A long par 5 to test you at the end of the front nine. Deceptively wide and approachable but gets tighter as you near the green. Second shot placement is key, beware when putting above the hole.

Hole 10: Molesworth	Hole 11: Kapawiti	Hole 12: Harry's Dale
A par 4 with plenty of room down the left hand side of the fairway, Fairly short, but watch out for the pot bunker front right of green and steep drop-off left and long.	A tricky par 4 that rates tougher than your first impression. Out of bounds right, hitting to an elevated green with a false front and a deep bunker on the left.	Sinuous par 5 that demands a well-placed drive then go-for-bust long second or a cautious lay-up. The tiered, elevated green challenges your distance perception.

Hole 13: Lunden's Flat	Hole 14: Cullen's Trap	Hole 15: Ivy's Crossing
A spectacular drop shot par 3 with a two-tier green. It's not as easy as it looks with a bunker at the back and trouble to the right. Double check your club selection.	Play for accuracy off the tee on this shortish par 4 with wasteland left and right. Bunkers sneak across the front of the green and going long is big trouble.	Here's your chance to get your round together. A straight par 4 with a wide fairway but watch for hazard crossing it, just short of the green.

Hole 16 A: Maranui	Hole 16 B	Hole 17: The Ruby
A challenging dog leg par 4 with an unforgiving fairway bunker that demands a strong drive, then precision shooting to an elevated, tiered green. Bunkers to the left of green need to be avoided.		A longish par 3 that favours shots played to the left of the green. There is a bunker on the right and rough on the left.

Hole 18: Coal Hill
A long par 5 that can be rewarding to longer hitters. Fairway bunkers shouldn't trouble you but make sure you don't leave your approach short of the elevated green.
