1The opening hole is a leisurely start to the round.After a good drive, the uphill approach shot to an elevated green requires good judgement of distance.Try to be pin high to avoid rolling back down the front of the green.2A demanding Par 3 from an elevated tee.If landing short of the green allow for your ball kick right off the slope.3A classic links hole, the 3rd plays into the prevailing southwesterly, often calling for two wood shots. The tee shot must be placed left of the three large limestone pits. This turns the hole into a slight dogleg with an uphill second shot.With the infamous Bass Strait adjacent to this hole. This is a most exhilarating area of the course.4From the high tee, the view of the rugged coastline ranges from Lorne to Cape Schanck.With the Bass Strait just a short pitch away, the wind is always a telling factor on this par three. The two-tiered green requires good touch and good nerve.5The 5th is reachable in two shots with the prevailing wind and provides surely one of the most inviting tee shots in world golf. This hole tempts the golfer to flex his muscles. The green is to be greatly respected though, which is among the steepest at Barwon Heads with very severe bunkering guarding the front left.6The landing area is atop a steep ridge. A tee shot not struck truly can leave a long uphill blind second shot to a firm green.7More difficult still is the 7th. A good drive will just carry the ball over the brow of a hill leaving a mid iron shot to a semi-blind green. The deep second drive bunker awaits an8With only 146 metres to negotiate and a reasonably generous green, this hole is the last chance for the golfer to relax for some time.9The difficult stretch begins with the 9th. As the fairway is divided into two sections, the tee shot must be very accurate, preferably left half of the fairway. The second also must be straight, often with a wood into the prevailing wind. This hole is played as a par 5 for ladies with the tee shot and second shot requiring great care to av10The drive is all important here. Your opening shot is played into an avenue of majestic cypresses. The prevailing breeze often encourages the golfer to throw caution to the wind. A well struck iron is required for the second shot, with enough carry to avoid trouble in front of the green.11This hole becomes more difficult the closer you get to the green.The drive is amenable, but the approach is played to a very tricky inverted saucer elevated green, with four deep bunkers awaiting any shot not struck with enough courage. A par he12At this length into the prevailing wind, the 12th is one of Barwon Head’s more difficult holes.With tree trouble and a drive bunker down the left and bunkers on the right, the golfer has no choice but to hit a good drive.A long second shot finds a slippery green, with the best position below the hole. This hole is played as a par 5 for ladies.13Climbing the the sand dunes to reach the 13th tee, the player begins to appreciate the challenge ahead.Nestling under tall sand dunes created by nature, this par three has been rated by golfers from around the world as equal to any in Australia, perhaps in the world. The club needed here can vary greatly, due to the exposed landscape and the prevailing winds.14At the 14th, you head towards home. From the tee avoid some thick marsh land and bunkers on the left.The bunkers near the green are also to be avoided.15The 15th is a most difficult par 4 with a long carry required from the tiger tee. After a good drive, a wood may still be needed to reach a well guarded green.16Any second shot short of the green is best kept in the left half of the fairway. The 16th provides the last good birdie chance. The hole needs a long drive to open up the green. If the pin is on the left side on the green, be careful of the greenside bunker.17This hole is a friendly par three requiring a solid mid iron to a deceptive green.18The stately, heritage-listed clubhouse overlooks the 18th. The uphill second shot always requires one more club than you would expect.
