With nothing in front it is possible to get on using your putter. Tamarin's own Denis Deegan can attest to that
A forgiving par 3 to start your round

SINGAPORE STRAIGHT
Look out over the Straits to Singapore and Malaysia and then hit straight on a devious hole. Too far and in the bunker or water; slice and you get to repeat the shot with a pro ball with an OB likely
A beautiful hole for sightseeing and a challenge for even the skilful

SNIPER'S ALLEY
A short but devilishly hard Par 5 to start your second nine. The fairway is 35 metres wide at the 70 metre mark Only 390 metres long and the designer expects perhaps an AVERAGE score of 10 on this hole. Tee off too far and you have to chip back
to the landing area; too short and chip forward.
Overhanging trees prevent the big hitters bombing the green so a lay up is anticipated. The green itself is 10 metres above the fairway with
a 60 degree slope on its sides - impossible to see

EAGLE VIEW
Tamarin has several pairs of nesting eagles and they can often be seen circling high above the course and from these tee boxes the view is amazing.
As to the tee shot on this Par 5 ... left is water, right is OB..hit straight and no problems.... The Black Tee is a blind shot ..enjoy!

All artists need to draw - on this hole a draw is essential for a competitive score. A big right to left shape with 5 bunkers on the left hand side guarding the water.... OB to the right for the errant slices or long straight shots

One of the few holes where the monkeys will watch your tee shot.. Spider monkeys at the tee box, Macaque monkeys on the upper level of the fairway Don't stress - they don't steal golf balls (often)
By the way - a drivable Par 4 with a lot of risk and reward... lost ball left... OB right... bunkers just short of the green

A short Par 3... BUT ....
WHEN you go into the water behind the green... the Drop Zone is COMPULSORY and not the easiest chip even then Two bunkers guarding the green...
Best shots ... bounce the ball on or fly it to the green for a Drop and Stop

When the course was built these trees were not a big issue on this Par 4... now a straight tee shot or a draw is needed UNLESS you go OVER the trees
Get caught in the trees off the tee
and you can expect problems - not just with your shot but with your score as well

A new Par 4 hole to finish your round.
Named the swamp after the quicksand found right where we wanted to put a nice lake around the green meaning we couldn't excavate the area Tee off more than 200m and less than 250m
and you can find yourself using the first of the two COMPULSORY Drop Zones
Hit too far and go into the drain behind the green and find yourself using the second of the two COMPULSORY Drop Zones
Hit past the Green and Drain and it is OB... BTW - another of those hard greens
