Cape Kidnappers is outrageous. How could someone have thought this up? Holes have been laid out on fingers of rock that jut into the sea. One hole goes into a finger...another then gets you out. Two holes on the back nine are actually impossible. One hole called Infinity has a reasonable drive to the fairway followed by an impossible shot to a tennis racket green where anything short bounces on the neck and rolls off the side into 300 yard drops to death. If you hit the green, it will bounce off the back onto the next tee box and/ or into another suicidal fall off.
The next par 5 is 650 yards long and requires 4 perfectly straight shots. Any deviation? Instant death. The 1st three holes could be anyone's farm and other holes feel out of place but overall this is a seriously fun top 50 course never to be forgotten. For 18 holes of quality...head north to it's top ten sister Kuari cliffs.
Is that John Daily in this picture?
