1A fairly gentle introduction to the New Course at Royal Queensland. From the tee the only real trouble on this hole is the out of bounds down the left hand side.The driving area is very generous. The secret of this hole being to select the right club for the second shot. The elevated green makes club selection quite difficult, with the pla2This short Par 4 is drivable by the very long hitter in favourable conditions.The preferred line from the tee is centre, or right of centre of the fairway, depending on the pin position.Any shot beyond the green will require a high quality recovery shot to the green which slopes quite steeply from back to front.3This short Par 4 is drivable by the very long hitter in favourable conditions.The preferred line from the tee is centre, or right of centre of the fairway, depending on the pin position.Any shot beyond the green will require a high quality recovery shot to the green which slopes quite steeply from back to front.4This medium length Par 3 normally plays into the prevailing wind.A very long green of some 36 metres from front to back makes club selection quite critical. This green also has severe drop-offs at the rear.5The 5th is an interesting hole – probably more interesting than it appears at first glance.It has a very wide fairway, but only a narrow strip of fairway to hit if the player is to have the ideal second shot. Anything too far right results in a very difficult angle acrosOnly the perfect drive onto the high ledge of fairway just right of the large fairway bunker earns the golfer the combination of a clear view and line. It is an easy hole to hit th6The second of the three holes which adjoin the Brisbane River.The left hand side of the hole is defined by a tidal saltwater wetland area, and water is in play from the tee on the right on the preferred driving line.The best approach is one where the golfer does not have to contend with the small and very difficult pot bunker at the left front of the green.7On the tee the golfer sees a wide expanse of fairway on either side of the large bunker complex in the middle of the fairway, with the left hand side defined by tidal wetlands.It is after the drive however where this hole becomes much more interesting. For the second shot, the left hand side of the hole is guarded by a Hazard, and the majority of the rigThe further one progresses towards the green the narrower the landing area becomes, and the more the hazards come into play. This green provides some of the most demanding putting 8This long Par 3 is the most demanding of the short holes on the golf course.No matter which Teeing ground is in use, the player has to contend with carrying the water hazard which runs diagonally across the fairway in front of the green, and continues all It is also necessary to avoid the nest of bunkers to the left of the green. Par on this hole is a very good score.9This Par 5 is a classic example of the situation which exists on many holes where the placement of bunkers forces the player to make decisions about how best to navigate his or herThe major danger from the tee is the hazard down the left hand side, but once the golfer clears the driving area, the right hand side – which is the preferred angle of approach t10The drive has to avoid the bunkers on the left hand side and the large fig tree guarding the right hand side of the fairway. The longer hitters can reach the green with their second shot, but for those choosing not to go for the green, the best approach up the angled green is from the left hand side. It 11This hole requires a very precise mid-iron to find the wide but very shallow elevated putting surface.An errant shot short, left, or right of the green will find deep bunkers, while the sharp drop off over the back of the green makes an up and down from that position quite demandin12This short Par 4 offers the golfer a range of options. It can be legitimately played with any one of a number of clubs from the tee, with the preferred line from the tee very much The green is reachable for the longer hitters provided they can hit a very accurate tee shot down the left hand side. For those taking the more conservative approach, a no less preAccuracy and distance control is also paramount with the approach to the green, where the contours can make for some ‘interesting’ putting.13The best line from the tee on this hole is to the right of centre of the fairway.The closer the player drives to the right hand bunker the better the line into the flag. The further left the tee shot is, the poorer the angle, with the shot rendered blind by theAlthough there are no greenside bunkers, the approach shot missing the green will provide a severe test for a golfer’s short game.14Left of centre is the best position for the drive to avoid the large fig tree which defines the corner of the dog leg.The approach shot to the green is made more interesting by a depression just short of the green which is not visible from the fairway, making the approach shot appear much shorter Any shot missing the green left, right, or long, will provide the golfer with a very demanding recovery shot from deep rough or sand.15The last Par 5 is a very challenging hole which provides every player with a ‘risk V reward’ decision.The drive must avoid the fairway bunkers, as must the second shot which ideally should be down the left side of the fairway to give the golfer a clear view up the length of the gre16The drive on this hole should be to the right centre of the fairway to ensure that the large fig tree on the left at the dog-leg does not come into play for the second shot.This green demands a very precise approach shot. It is severely contoured and is basically two greens in one.This is only the second green with no greenside bunkers, but the run-offs and contours of the green will examine all a golfer’s skill and imagination.17One of the signature holes on the course, although only a short Par 3, the tee shot must carry wasteland all the way from the tee to the elevated green.This hole has already played a major role in deciding some major tournaments with players needing to judge their tee shot perfectly with consideration to the exposed green that is 18A long Par 4 to finish this Championship layout. The fairly generous driving area should enable the golfer to avoid the bunkers down the left hand side of the fairway.The drive however, must still be positioned to give the player the best approach to the pin set for that particular day. The relatively shallow green runs away from the golfer from
