Hole I Par 5 - 521 metres
A relatively straightforward Par 5 which dog legs right. You will require a good tee shot to avoid the pond on the left and thick trees to the right. Keep your second shot left to set up a short iron approach to the green.

Hole 2 Par 4 - 390 metres
This index 3 hole dog legs slightly left. Trees await tee shots aimed right while shots to the left will find the pond. A long and accurate tee shot should set you up nicely for the second shot to the green which is two-tiered and has subtle breaks.

Hole 3 Par 3 - 141 metres
The first of the four Par 3s, you will face at Damai. There are two bunkers and a stream running at the right of the hole waiting to punish errant shots. The green is not visible from the tee box and this could be a problem to some.

Hole 4 Par 4 - 387 metres
The only hole on the course which does not have a bunker, the tight and narrow fairway has jungle on the right and a small creek cuts across the fairway to catch mishit shots aimed at the green.

Hole 5 Par 4 - 396 metres
This index 1 hole is uphill all the way and requires an accurate tee shot to avoid trouble lurking on both sides of the fairway. Be careful also to avoid three bunkers fronting the green on your second shot. The undulating and tricky green lies at the end of the mountain slope.

Hole 6 Par 3 - 205 metres
The longest Par 3 at Damai. Beware of the two relatively large bunkers before the green which has subtle breaks to torment poor putters.

Hole 7 Par 4 - 335 metres
Hit to the centre of the fairway to avoid bunkers on the left and right of the fairway. The green is well guarded by a giant bunker which is not visible from the fairway. Otherwise it's a straightforward Par 4. But you are advised to play a longer club on your second shot for better results.

Hole 8 Par 5-510 metres
This slightly dogleg right hole has a wide landing area for the tee shot but the fairway narrows as it reaches the green. Thick bushes await sliced drives. Put your second shot left to avoid a large pond and set up a short iron approach to a tricky, sloping green.

Hole 9 Par 4 - 385 metres
This index 5 hole presents a demanding finish to the front nine. Two large ponds guard the tee shot and the green.

Hole 10 Par 4 - 344 metres
An easy and straightforward hole. But you must avoid the fairway bunkers that catch topped tee shots to set up a short iron approach. There is a generous-sized green which is relatively easy on the nerves.

Hole 11 Par 5 - 494 metres
A testing Par 5, this hole doglegs right. The decisive second shot must carry across a small ravine to lay up the third shot to a tight green guarded by a series of bunkers. It is a challenge to get the ball into the hole.

Hole 12 Par 4 - 360 metres
Ponds on both sides of the fairway are designed to catch slice and draw shots off the tee. Make sure that you use one club more on the second shot to avoid a "ladder-like" bunker guarding the green.

Hole 13 Par 4 - 423 metres
The longest Par 4 at Damai. For this index two hole, you will need an accurate tee shot to carry over the ponds. OB to the left. Play a long iron or fairway wood for second shot to avoid the pond on the right. Two bunkers await around the green, this making two on that more difficult.

Hole 14 Par 3 - 190 metres
You will need a perfect tee shot to carry the large ravine, with casuarina trees and mangrove to the left and OB on the right. A tight fairway with a series of bunkers guarding the subtly contoured green.

Hole 15 Par 4 - 359 metres
A mangrove swamp and the sea on the left, and OB mount of the right, make this an interesting hole. Especially when the breeze blows and creates ail kinds of problems with club choice. Three fairway bunkers await to catch poorly hit tee shots.

Hole 16 Par 4 - 361 metres
A spectacular Par 4 with the ocean to the left and OB to the right. You will need a strong second shot to carry a small creek to the uphill green guarded by a large bunker.

Hole 17 Par 3 - 154 metres
The signature hole at Damai. This hole requires a precise tee shot, not an easy proposition bearing in mind that the South China Sea covers three sides of the green. Wind conditions can play havoc with your choice of club and your nerves. Certainly not a hole for the faint-hearted.

Hole 18 Par 5 - 473 metres
A tight Par 5. From tee to green the left side is guarded by the ocean and by casuarina groves on the right. There is a narrow landing area on the fairway for first and second shots. A series of bunkers await as you approach this tricky finishing hole.
