1ST HOLE
If you feel good you can take on the trees on the right and hit driver, leaving a short pitch into a well bunkered elevated green. The other option if your one of those nervous types on the 1st tee is to hit a long iron into the fairway leaving a longer shot into the green. Make sure you check the pin position as this green is extremely long and narrow.
2ND HOLE
A medium length par 4. Depending on which tee you play from. Unless you have a strong breeze behind to carry the water is a big hit. The best play is an iron just short of the water and then a short iron into another elevated green. Make sure you take enough club as it is more uphill than it looks.
3RD HOLE
One of the hardest holes on the course. If you manage to avoid the big bunker that protects most of the fairway, you are left with a long iron into this difficult par 4. The green is well bunker, the best miss is left of the green as an easy chip awaits balls that finish here.
4th HOLE
Another difficult Par 4, the drive is very important to set up this hole, you need both accuracy and distance to get up over the hill. Then an accurate second shot is required to hit a large green with bunkers left and right. Play down the right side and you can get plenty of roll onto the green.
5th HOLE
A shortish par 4. You can either play an iron down to the corner and have a longer second shot, or take on the hole with a Driver and leave yourself a short pitch into the green. Beware though if you are not accurate danger lurks both left and right. The green is wide and inviting.
6th HOLE
Our signature hole and you can see why. You must get it over the cavernous bunker that almost runs the length of the hole. If you hit a good shot you have the mounding on both sides of the green will feed the ball onto the green. That is not where the fun stops, as a three putt is waiting if you are not on the right level of this large undulating green.
7th HOLE
Medium length par 5. Its a daunting tee shot with anything offline resulting in a lost ball. The fairway has a snaking dogleg, that narrows right down, making the second shot a tough prospect as well. There is a large bunker front right of the green which often catches the errant approach. Birdie chance if you can get the ball in the fairway off the tee.
8th HOLE
A great little downhill par 3. Not as menacing as the 6th but can cause lots of problems, especially if you find the pot bunker short or hit it into the scrub on the left. If you get the club right a birdie is a possibility.
9th HOLE
A nice straight away par 5, that can be reached in two shots if you get one away. However the green is guarded with large bunkers and there is the clubhouse lake lurking to the left. The large pot bunker at the front of the green often catches that mishit second shot or misjudged layup. This is one of the few birdie chances on the front nine.
10th HOLE
Long uphill par 4. Rated hardest hole on the course and you will find out why. After avoiding the fairway bunker on the right. A long second shot awaits to a two tier green with a false. Par is a very good score here.
11th HOLE
Another great par 3. Instead of bunkers to avoid this one has water both in front and to the right of the green. The green is undulating from back to front, so putting here is also quite tricky.
12th HOLE
A very challenging hole. A large cross bunker await an errant tee shot. Long hitters need to avoid this by choosing a line down the right side of the fairway. Second shot is uphill to a large green also heavily protected by bunkers. Make sure you club up here.
13th HOLE
Short drivable par 4 in favorable conditions. Take the risk and thread the needle onto the green if you dare. Best play though is to lay up with a long iron or fairway wood, leaving a wedge shot to the heavily protected, narrow, distinctly shaped green.
14th HOLE
Straight away par 4 with a deep fairway bunker to the right of the fairway. So steer clear of here. Green is large and wide but need a good approach with mid iron to wedge depending on the wind direction. 4 is a good score here.
15th HOLE
A very challenging par 4 hole. Tree trouble right - wetlands on the left. You need to skirt the bunker with a line down the right side of the fairway as it slopes heavily right to left. Second shot is testing to a long and sloping green also heavily protected by bunkers. Stay below the hole if you can.
16th HOLE
Reachable par 5 for the long hitters. However miss the fairway either side and your in trouble, OOB left - Tea Tree right. Line is down the right side of the fairway, as it slopes heavily right to left. Your second shot needs to be accurate as strategic fairway bunkers are left and right around 60-70 metres from the green. Take extra club on your approach as it plays uphill. Deep bunkers alsosurround the green.
17th HOLE
Long demanding par 3. With deep greenside bunkers and hazard running all the way down the left hand side. You need to stay straight and shorter hitters can run it onto this green as it is relatively open. The green is one of the biggest on the course with gentle slope from back to front.
18th HOLE
A great par 5 finishing hole. Tree trouble right and left from the tee, so your drive needs to be straight. Lay up with your second shot leaving a mid to short iron into the green. Long hitters can have a go, but be wary of the water hazard just left of the green. Finish in front of the clubhouse in style, by holing a long putt on what is the flattest green on the course.
