Cilangkap Golf Course (Padang Golf Cilangkap)


Hole 2.

Relatively flat par 3, the green is about 180 meter from the t-box. To the left is wooden area with big trees to slow down those right handed golfer when they hook the ball. To the right of the green there are two sand traps you have to watch out for. Small water drainage run across the back of the green that will give problem when you over shoot the green. The left of the green is hilly depending on your luck the ball could kick into the green. The apron in front of the green is relatively damp that could stop a ball dead on the spot. The two tears green could give seasonal golfer a bit of a problem, the front part of the green is soft but from the center of the green is hard making it difficult to land on the green with out rolling pass the green and ending up on the rough.
