Golf and Hydro] Euphoria golf course is a unique blend of bushveld
golf with wide, undulating fairways, wild grasses and deep bunkers which
gives it a links like feel on many of the holes. Aptly named Euphoria – the
idyllic state of well being – the course nestles in the foothills of the
Waterberg Mountain Range 10 kilometers from Naboomspruit (Mookgophong).
Eugene Marais, the renowned poet and naturalist wrote "where every morning
from the highest cliffs, the eagle swiftly circles upwards to greet the sun
blazing in the growing sky".
This unique and demanding golf course bears the signature of the world`s
former number one lady golfer – Annika Sorenstam. According to Annika "I
designed the course the way I play the game where you have to think about
every shot. The course will favour the strategic player rather than the big
hitters". The detailed design work was undertaken by European Golf Design
Company – a London based joint venture company between the European P.G.A
Tour and International Management Group. This is the first design by EGD in
South Africa and Annika`s second signature golf course after Mission Hills
in China.
Each of the 18 holes has four tee boxes of equal size suitably elevated to
provide the player with a good view of the hole in play and with vistas over
the estate and surrounding bushveld plains. This modern golf course is long
measuring 7,055 meters off the white tees; 6,540 meters off the blue tees;
5,960 meters off the green tees and 5,145 meters off the front red tees.
Each hole is unique in its own right with several holes crossing a natural
water ravine which runs through the property.
Hole by Hole Review
Hole No 1: 295 to 395M Par 4
This is a gentle opening hole with a slight dog leg to the right with two
fairway bunkers also on the right side. The tee shot plays downhill to a
wide fairway and then uphill to a narrow elevated green. The green falls
away to the front enticing the player to fly the ball all the way up to the
putting surface. Along the way one cannot fail to admire the beautiful
mature wild fig tree halfway down the fairway.
Hole No 2: 305 to 420M Par 4
This hole will challenge all levels of player early on in the round. A long
and straight tee shot is required across the ravine to reach the raised
fairway before it falls away towards the green. The hole breaks sharply
right with the ravine in play for any ball pushed too far to the right. The
green is narrow and set at an angle right to left of the fairway with a
steep fall over the back. It is protected by a deep bunker to the left front
of the green. Take care not to hit the second shot too long. There are
alternate tees for the not so brave which takes the ravine out of play and
straightens the hole up.
Hole No 3: 425 to 585M Par 5
This challenging par 5 calls for another fairly long tee shot over the
ravine to a fairway that is not as generous as most. It is however a three
shot hole for most players so a fairway wood off the tee might be
appropriate. The stronger player will reach the small, well bunkered and
elevated green in two shots but for most it will always be a three shot
hole. Take care when approaching the green and avoid the surrounding bunkers
at all cost.
Hole No 4: 320 to 430M Par 4
This hole might appear to be intimidating with a right to left dog leg and 5
bunkers guarding the left side of the fairway. The large green is also well
bunkered and can only be reached comfortably after an accurate tee shot. The
green is protected by a small mound which might influence the depth
perception so be sure to take enough club to reach the center of the green
in two.
Hole No 5: 295 to 400M Par 4
A very demanding hole. The fairway is split in two by a large bunker
crossing the fairway at an angle from right to left. The courageous player
can attempt a great shot by flying the ball over the right half of the
hazard with a carry of 250 meters. The safe shot is to a large flat landing
area on the left, short of the bunker. The green has a steep drop-off at the
back and is protected in front by two bunkers on the left and right sides.
Hole No 6: 125 to 180M Par 3
This straight forward short hole has a green that is completely surrounded
by bunkers. Approach it with caution as there is no margin for error. The
deep bunker right of the green could easily spoil an otherwise good day.
Hole No 7: 325 to 430M Par 4
The landing area appears to be narrow because of two mature trees on the
left side of the fairway. This should not be cause for concern but be wary
of the two bunkers on the right. The long green nestles between two rather
deep bunkers. When playing this hole be sure to take the time to admire the
large dam with beautiful surroundings and abundant bird life to the left of
the fairway.
Hole No 8: 130 to 220M Par 3
This is another very playable short hole with wild indigenous grasses
covering a large hollow to the left and centre of the fairway. The approach
to the green must be accurate to avoid the large bunker at the back and
right side of the green. The back of this bunker is planted with wild grass
which blends in naturally with the surrounding bushveld.
Hole No 9: 395 to 520M Par 5
A good tee shot over the ravine will see the ball rise like an eagle against
the backdrop of the majestic mountain. This is a relatively short par 5 and
reachable for many players in two shots. Wild grasses dominate both sides of
the fairway all the way up to the green. Avoid the strategically placed
bunkers and this closing hole could compliment any score for the first nine
holes. Along the way the imposing clubhouse will come into view together
with the cableway taking guests up to the mountain top restaurant. Relax and
enjoy the halfway house service.
Hole No 10: 315 to 430M Par 4
On this beautiful hole a good tee shot is required in order to carry 180
meters over the ravine; to avoid a large Marula tree guarding the right side
of the fairway and to avoid a fairway bunker that will only bother the big
hitter. The uphill approach to the green is straight forward as long as the
correct club has been selected
Hole No 11: 255 to 350M Par 4
Without doubt this is one of the prettiest holes on the golf course and also
one which offers many options. The tee shot is played over a meandering
stream which continues all the way up the left side of the fairway. The hole
is set off with two large Marula trees beyond which the hole doglegs
slightly to the right. This short par 4 is a classic example of a risk –
reward hole. Any big hitters who want to take the green on need to be aware
of the bunkers guarding the green and of the narrow approach. The
conservative player will lay up safely off the tee leaving a mid iron
approach to the only double tiered green on the course.
Hole No 12: 385 to 530M Par 5
The tee is peacefully nestled between a forest of indigenous trees including
a number of Nabome (Euphorbia). Spare a moment to admire the large Natal
Kiepersol and Wild Fig trees to the left. The fairway is guarded by three
bunkers to the left and the ravine off to the right. The conventional lay up
shot doglegs to the right with the approach turning back left to a small
well guarded green. Playing this hole in two shots will always be risky
because the carry of the second shot will be directly over a large
depression covered in wild grasses. The green is deceptively 5 meters higher
than the first landing area.
Hole No 13: 305 to 420M Par 4
This tee is at the highest point of the golf course and offers panoramic
views across the Springbok Flats and landmarks such as the Strydpoort
Mountains near the Eastern Escarpment. From the tee part of the fairway is
unsighted and the best way to play this hole is to keep the tee shot left
and then negotiate the right dogleg from the most favourable position.
Beware the bunkers on the right hand side of the fairway, one of which is
unsighted from the tee.
Hole No 14: 280 to 390M Par 4
The focus on this straight hole is the large intimidating Marula tree in the
fairway at 280 meters. It is best to play down the right side of the tree
but the shot needs to be accurate as the out of bounds boundary fence may
easily come into play. A deep bunker to the right and a severe slope to the
left will test the accuracy of any shot into this elevated green.
Hole No 15: 110 to 150M Par 3
This is the shortest hole on the golf course but don't be fooled. Two
bunkers in front of the green will attract many golf balls but the challenge
of this hole is to not overshoot the green and end up in the unplayable
rough behind the green. The small pond off to the right is out of play but
adds to the beauty of the hole. This pond is regularly frequented by the
colourful Woodlands Kingfisher and many other species of bushveld birds and
insects.
Hole No 16: 295 to 400M Par 4
Do not be deceived by the absence of bunkers on this straight and relatively
long par 4. It is compensated for by a narrow fairway and demanding
depressions and undulations down the right side of the fairway. The
protection of the green in the form of bunkers in front and depressions at
the back should not be of concern as the green is large and should be
reached comfortably.
Hole No 17: 135 to 200M Par 3
The tranquil main storage dam with its abundant birdlife set against the
backdrop of the mountain and trees make this demanding par 3 pretty as a
picture. The tee shot is all carry over the water from the back tee but gets
progressively less intimidating as the remaining three tees move forward and
away from the main body of water. There is a generous lay up area for those
who cannot reach the green. Once again like on so many of the holes the
cavernous greenside bunkers need to be avoided.
Hole No 18: 450 to 605M Par 5
This picturesque hole will linger in the memory of all players for long
after the game. The lasting impressions will be the wild grasses flanking
the fairway and waving gently in the breeze; the beauty and peacefulness of
the ravine, the mountain backdrop, the dramatic clubhouse and the cable car.
This is an extremely long hole especially when played off the back tee. The
tee shot is played short of the ravine and care must be taken to avoid the
large Marula tree on the left with the second shot over the ravine. The
green, although well bunkered, is large and should not present too much of a
problem. The welcoming sight of the clubhouse behind the green might cause
players to rush the last put but all will be forgotten when relaxing over
refreshments.
