	Good News! The Palmer Course construction has resumed. Watch this spot for construction updates and photos! The Arnold Palmer Course will be long with generous landing areas from the tees. Multi tees will permit players of all ages and ability to enjoy the strategy of the holes. Shaping on the holes will be big, soft and strategic. Every hole will permit the thinking golfer to choose the amount of risk he wishes to take with each shot, and reward the successful risk with ideal locations from which to attack the greens. The greens will be well guarded with sand bunkers, grass hollows and trees. Low handicap golfers will appreciate that they can shape their shot to further enhance their strategic advantage. The greens will be big, with undulation that will test the players ability to judge movement, pace and optical illusions.
	A hole-by-hole strategy and description for holes 10 ~ 18
	Clearing of Hole 9, 10 & 18 completed and rough shaping has started. Hole 10 par 4 389m The tees are well elevated above the landing zone; the back tee is just below the food terrace of the clubhouse. From the tee there are two hazards to avoid, the first being a large lake that separates it from the 9th and the other is a small creek that runs across the landing zone. Knowing the distance to the creek will be vital as will be knowing your ability to make the shot. The shot to the green is slightly uphill. Hole 11 par 5 505m Again the tees are elevated from the landing zone. There is a creek that crosses the fairway about 250m from the back tee. The creek is fed by a small pond to the right of the fairway at about the same distance. There will be a couple of bunkers before the pond to stop errant shots from finding a watery end. With that negotiated the second shot must be hit to an exact location to set up the best angle for the approach shot. There is a cluster of bunkers on the corner of the dogleg that protects the green from any golfers that get too greedy. The forest that frames the second shot will indeed be a visual highlight. Hole 12 par 4 377m Once again a creek crosses the fairway, this time it is only about 180m from the back tee and should not come into play very often. The difficulty is the second shot as club selection will be difficult. The fairway slopes upward and slightly left to right making the shot to a slightly blind green tricky. Hole 13 par 5 540m Downhill all the way, just stand up on the tee and let it rip but be mindful of the Out of Bounds fence that runs the entire left of the hole.
	Rough shaping completed on Hole 14.
	Hole 14 par 3 164m The first of the par 3’s on the back nine is a-mid iron however it will play into a prevailing breeze in the later months of the year. Three bunkers guard the front of the green and two more bunkers will trap shots that have been over hit. From up on the green you get a beautiful view of some of the Nicklaus course back nine. Hole 15 - Finished with fairway and green planted. Hole 15 par 4 402m Possibly one of the most dramatic holes in the region, made possible by a lake that the hole follows. The tee shot requires a long carry across the lake to a generous landing area. The second shot must also be made over water as the as the lake cuts across the front of the green. The green is guarded by a 2m rock wall that drops straight into the lake. There is plenty of room to the left to ‘bail out’ if required.
	Grassing is in progress on Hole 16.
	Hole 16 par 4 352m This straight-away hole hides nothing from the golfer. The landing zone is generous, however it is then ‘pinched’ by four bunkers that narrow the fairway. Further towards the green the approached is guarded left and right by mature palms. Grassing is in progress on Hole 17 Hole 17 par 3 186m This will be a hole to test all golfers of all levels not only for its length. Bunkers protect the very large green left and right. Hole 18 par 4 366m The tees are elevated above the landing zone; which has the same creek to cross as hole 10. The tee shot will be aimed at the guestrooms; the second shot will be to an elevated green that sits just below the clubhouse restaurant.
