Avenues of narrow, tree-lined fairways make accuracy from the tee, the golfers' prime consideration when playing Observatory course.
Though not overly long at lengths of 6428 metres from the championship tees and 6131 metres from the club tees, you will be rewarded with the opportunity to hit medium to short irons from closely mown kikuyu turf into small, well guarded greens.
Miss the target on the four lovely par threes and your short game will be severely tested and any score is a distinct possibility.
The four par fives on this little gem can be reached in two solid blows but, as with all the other great holes on this fine golf course, straight hitting is of paramount importance.
Its highly skilled and motivated greenkeeping staff maintain Observatory to the highest standards of excellence. The small, fast and undulating USGA Spec bentgrass greens will reward good reading skills and a sound putting stroke with the sound of dropping putts.
