Donga: Hole 6

An extremely challenging hole, the furthest on the course and the last one along the cliff edge. A tight tee shot is needed to avoid the thick rough on the right, with rough and out of bounds over the cliff on the left. A long hitter will have to negotiate the fairway bunker. The 'Donga', a dry ditch running in front of the green will swallow up any ball not pitching on the green. This hole has the first of the longer Black Tees used in the Caldy Quart and County matches.
The hole, previously called 'Hilbre'(part 5), is named after the dry eroded ditch in front of the green, the name is in common use in South Africa to describe such ditches. The final 'Boer War', when the British fought the descendants of Dutch settlers (Boers) in South Africa, was still in memory when the course was opened in 1907.
