Sculpted from an opencast mining landscape, with a foremost mission to maintain the integrity of the wildlife habitat and the existing land flow. As its name suggests, water hazards are featured on 17 of the 18 holes at the Lakes. The course boasts one of the best finishing holes in the region, perhaps the most difficult natural par 4 finish in golf. Given the strategic range of tees, a fair number of exigent holes, wide fairways, and generous greens to suit master players and novices alike, the Lakes Course is certainly one of the most luxurious and enjoyable 18 holes anywhere.
