Where2Golf says:
Ocean Ridge Plantation (Leopard's Chase Golf Club): Ocean Ridge Plantation is the land of the Big Cats. With courses bearing the names and paw prints of the Lion, Panther, Tiger (and a Jaguar on the way), the Leopard is one of the newest arrivals, bursting onto the scene in early 2007. Leopard's Chase is an exciting, visually impressive and constantly challenging design, which is set to become a revered name among the cats, particularly once it has had time to bed in a little. A limited amount of real estate will be built around parts of this course, but it is hardly likely to disturb the alluring features of this handsome newcomer. There is plenty of variety and creativity in Tim Cate's design, with water, sandy waste areas, wire-grassed waste areas (beware snakes !) and woodland taking it in turns to line the good-width fairways. Substantive and often deep bunkering also joins in along the way, especially beside the firm, fast and undulating greens. The three front-nine par-3's all require you to carry or potentially flirt with water; the two on the back-nine both require carries over swamp. The five par-5's are equally challenging, not least the tough 11th, where the swamp gets no less than three chances to swallow your ball. Your round will hopefully finish in style, providing you safely negotiate the difficult long par-4 18th, and stay out of the greenside rock pools and waterfalls. A bit of a mauling may await any golfer who tries to blast his or her way round this bold and demanding course, especially without giving due regard to the Leopard's key defences - sand & water, and water & sand.

The leopard is the smallest of the four "big cats" (genus Panthera), the other three being the tiger, lion, and jaguar. The leopard is now mainly found in sub-Saharan Africa, with a few small populations in India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Malaysia, Indonesia and China. The leopard is not found in the Americas, where the slightly larger jaguar lives. Jaguars inhabit certain habitats in southern Arizona, and are also found in central America and South America as far down as northern Argentina.

Koksijde Golf ter Hille Golf Club: on what was previously open farmland, an enjoyable and challenging links-style layout has been crafted. Perhaps the inspiration for Koksijde's new course came from a renowned Harry Colt layout that existed in the 1920s just a couple of kilometres to the west. Read more... |

All prefixed by the definite article, The Dutch (2010, designer Colin Montgomerie) and The International (2012, Ian Woosnam) have now been joined by The Duke, which firmly targets a business clientele and the corporate golf market.
