Theme: Golfing
In stark contrast to its three sister courses, Laguna is without pines and, as the name suggests, incorporates water hazards in its fairly flat layout. It used to have three nine-hole loops. The former East and South loops now form the 18-hole Laguna course. The former North loop was renovated and combined with a new nine to form the Millennium Course.
The first hole here is an impressive par 5. You need a good drive and second shot, but the crunch comes with the approach. You have to carry an impressive array of bunkers to find the stepped green. And that's the least of your worries, because the green slopes to its front, creating huge borrows, with the step to complicate the line.
The par 4 fifth strikes terror for even the staunchest player. Yes, the tee is nicely elevated, but the overhanging trees on your left narrow the line of the drive which has a lake to carry: it's about 160 metres. If you're lucky enough to strike the ball well, then there are waiting bunkers beyond the landing area. The approach must carry fingers of the lake to find a generous but sloping green. Somehow it's always difficult to have faith in the distance markers at this hole.
golfer. A right-handed dog-leg determines the length and direction of the shot. The target is a very tight landing area between fairway bunkers and the lake on the right. The approach to a well-protected green is then over the corner of the water. It's always a tough hole.
The par 5 fifteenth is a 'hop, skip and jump' hole, and needs a good drive, good second shot and accurate approach to the forward sloping green. With water intersecting the fairway, and to the right, the chances of a 'Barnes Wallis' are more than likely.

Dear , You have great Lagos page with nice picture , I hope see you in my country . | fletchgreen Mon Aug 27, 2007 14:01 UTC
We are visiting Lagos from the 4/9 and have found your info most helpful. It looks as if we'll have to 'do' the Grottoes! | mrs_mole Wed Aug 15, 2007 18:24 UTC
I agree - we went with dolphin seafaris - it's one of the best things I have ever done on holiday - far better than seeing these gorgeous creatures cooped up in a marine park. | nickandchris Tue Jun 19, 2007 12:20 UTC
Good tips. Love the sound of that lamb!! |
