Hole 9
Distance 545m
Par 5
Stroke 5
The signature hole at the Gary Player Country Club. This par five is a genuine three shotter for most golfers. The island green is more susceptible to a short iron third shot rather than a long fairway wood for the brave. A par five is always a good score.
The most popular spot for spectators, the 9th green and surrounding provide one of the great amphitheaters in South African sport. On at least two of the four days, the island green will be in range in two shots, setting up the possibility of two-putt birdies and the odd eagle, but some potentially big numbers as well. Always play for the middle of the green whether it is your second or third shot.Gary Player
