General
The course will be playing its full length of 7060 yards. The fairways are soft-ish due to large amounts of rain in the last month and the last couple of days.
Driving is important although the fairways are quite generous. Holes 2 and 5 have water very much in play. The wind strength also plays a big part in the level of difficulty as the course is quite exposed.
The name of the course has changed from the Monarchs Course to the PGA Centenary Course.
