Punga

Hole 7

M Par 5 450 Meters Stroke: 10
L Par 5 427 Meters Stroke: 7

A reachable par 5 for the long hitters, but it will require a very accurate drive.   The creek all along the left is a lateral hazard and the many large trees on the right will prove a problem in that direction.  The green is receptive with a slight slope to the front.  Be careful not to hit it over the green or you may end up in the creek!

Tree ferns are some of the most distinctive features of NZ forests.   Ferns are typically found in moist, forested areas because they require lots of water.   The silver fern or punga is a national symbol and is named for the silver underside of its fronds.
