1The fairway of this quite short opening hole curves between some gentle mounds on each side. In the mounds on the right side are two bunkers clearly visible from the tee. The long hitting player will need to avoid the quite long grass on either side of this fairway and to take care not to go into a tongue of rough extending across the fairway 280 meThe green lies obliquely to the line of play and is guarded by a bunker on its front left side. As a south westerly wind is often assisting this hole, players may have difficulty, 2The fairway bunker on the left of the fairway is 270 metres from the tee. The hole has a very attractive large greenside bunker on the right 30 metres short of the green and two smIt is the direction and strength of the wind which will determine whether a birdie four is a realistic expectation. The railway line which extends down the left side of this hole is an integral part of the course. An errant shot coming to rest among the sleepers must be played as it lies or a pe3Often regarded as one of the best holes at Seaton, this is the only hole which remains faithful to the original design of Dr Alister Mackenzie.It has a green which can be described as being “leg of mutton” in shape. It has an oblique ridge on the left, while on the right is a knoll on the side of the green.Always surrounded by dense grass and rushes, it offers the possibility of an eagle 2 to the brave but with the possibility of a quite disastrous score. Norman Von Nida once took a 4The crater which lies in front of the club tees presents little challenge to the Championship players. From the back tee the player has a blind shot to an undulating fairway. PineTo deter the adventurous there is another pot bunker a further 30 metres on. The right side of the fairway is heavily grassed and the fairway narrows sharply 280 metres from the te5The championship tee brings the two existing right side bunkers into play as they are now 250 and 286 metres from the tee.The left side of this hole has been narrowed firstly by some quite deep grass and by increased mounding between this and the neighbouring sixth fairway. The bold player with an assisting wind may attempt to play through this neck and be left with a wedge to the green. Prudence may dictate playing short of the bunkers. This presents6This has always been a formidable hole from the members tee particularly when played into the generally prevailing wind.The back tee has added some additional teeth to the hole as the required tee shot from this championship tee will require a carry in excess of 230 metres. To the right are further The green is generous in size. There is a deceptive slope from the back of the green. Care is required with any putt from above the hole. Two bunkers on each side of the green comp7The green is surrounded by small bunkers in the front and on each side while at the back are deep grassy hollows.This green was laid down when the course was first developed. It was then approached from a different direction, but the tee was later placed behind the sixth green from which membA new tee has been made extending this hole to 167 metres. A head wind will add an additional challenge to a hole which is an icon at Seaton.8The player can choose to play short of a tongue of rough extending across the fairway from the right, 237 metres out.This side is reinforced by some steep mounds and a deep bunker. The left side is also heavily mounded 240 and 260 metres from the tee.Alternatively the choice is a longer tee shot over the peninsula of rough to a narrow strip of fairway. This would leave a very short pitch to the green which slopes away sharply o9A newly constructed bunker is 275 metres from the tee on the left, from which a gentle mound extends across the fairway to thick rough and a small stand of swamp oaks.On the right, the mounding has been increased and regular watering of the rough has encouraged thick growth, all of which enhances the two deep bunkers.Both sides of the approach to this hole are lined with bunkers which lie in wait for any wayward second shot by the player who may hope to get up in two. The green has a quite defi10The fairway to this quite short par 4 is angled to the right over the hill. A pine tree on the left and long grass and rushes on the right will punish a wayward drive.At the bottom of the hill there is further area of thick rough to hinder a drive of more than 250 metres.A subtle choice of club and line is required to be in a position to play to this green. The green has an inverted saucer shape with some very demanding pin placements. An accuratel11This hole is regarded by most as Royal Adelaide’s signature hole and still plays as Alister Mackenzie designed it in the 1920s.A strong tee shot is required to ensure an easier second shot onto the green set within a sand crater. Three fairway bunkers make this task more difficult.An interesting carry commencing 86 metres from the front of the green and features many native grasses. The green is protected by both a front left and a front right sand bunker an12This hole is played from an elevated tee. The green has gently undulating, grassed surrounds leading to low-lying swamps. A small bunker is on its front left hand edge. Into the pr13The hole is an acute dog-leg to the left. The left or inner side of the fairway has a heavily grassed verge separating it from low sandhills.The outer side has low mounds which are again well grassed. There is a bunker 30 metres short of the green and a left greenside bunker. The green has a pronounced slope to the right. A long well placed drive is essential to facilitate the playing of this very fine hole.14The championship tee is situated on the far side of the railway line. This results in a magnificent championship hole where a 248 metre drive will be needed to carry the edge of a The second shot is played through a gap in the pine trees to an elevated green guarded by three bunkers. A deep swale before the green and another on the left side of the green com15The stand of pines on either side present little difficulty to top players. The left side of the fairway is heavily grassed requiring a carry of 270 metres.Another bunker is also situated on the right with a mound across the fairway. Shorter and to the right there is punishing rough.Although a short par 5, the drive must be well placed. The green is lightly trapped with shallow bunkers.16This rather disarming hole is destined to test even the straightest hitter. The green which has some slight, but treacherous slopes, is complemented by a swale on the right and two17This long par four will test both long game and short.

Nevertheless a long straight drive will be rewarded with a short shot of 80 or so metres to the green. There are two bunkers on the right of the green and a lateral water hazard on the left. This has been deepened and widened and planted with rushes. The slope between the green and
