Course Layout and Challenges
The Ocean South Course offers an exciting layout with plenty of ups and downs, winding fairways, and strategically placed bunkers. The first half of the course takes you through beautiful hills and canyons, while the second half opens up to stunning ocean views. The wide fairways make it easier to hit off the tee, but the elevated greens and deep bunkers require careful shots.
The coastal winds add an extra challenge, making smart decisions and accurate shots important. The greens, made of poa annua and bentgrass, are fast and true, with subtle breaks that can stump even experienced players. With a slope rating of 134, this course is a great mix of accessibility and skill.
Signature Holes
The par-3 12th hole is the course’s signature, playing 131 to 173 yards from an elevated tee with panoramic Pacific Ocean views. A well-bunkered green demands precision to avoid trouble. The par-4 18th hole is another standout, featuring a dramatic downhill approach to a well-guarded green with the ocean as a stunning backdrop. These holes epitomise the course’s blend of beauty and challenge.
