Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee Sets tone for a terrific round of golf on a true links course. With a drive aimed over a hill in the distance, the fairway beyond slopes away to the opposite side.

From The Fairway There is a flat, narrow landing area in line with the undulating green which pitches front to back.

On The Green Any wayward shots are deflected into a deep bunker to the right or a run-off area to the left that funnels golf balls well away from the putting surface.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee This is a ripping short par four with a massive sandy waste bunker to the left and dramatic bunkers guarding the right-front portion of the green in the driving zone.

From The Fairway This creates choices for line and length that vary considerably depending on wind direction and speed.

On The Green Unless the drive is long and true, lay up your approach left of the bunkers and chip it on from there; this might be your best shot at par on the plateau both depth perception and distance control.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Played through rolling terrain and with a landing area in the lower plateau, the downhill approach shot to the putting surface, set in a natural amphitheatre, with the wide green featuring brilliant fine shaping to produce all numbers of subtle breaks making putts tricky.

On The Green Anything landing short and left of the target feeds back toward the sandy waste bunker, leaving an extremely difficult pitch shot or a stroke of genius for up and down.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The first par-three with a green complex incorporating a large spine built on an angle in the rear sector and rising half a metre in elevation.

From The Fairway Such a design feature creates extreme difficulty in getting the ball to finish on the top level especially with a gully at the rear.

On The Green Front hole-locations are also well protected by a small pot bunker and a larger sand hazard to the left. Putting up or down the ridge requires plenty of imagination in order to gauge the correct break and speed.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee This hole is ranked the most difficult hole on the course and for good reason.

From The Fairway The fairway centreline contains a natural hogs back running out just short of an elevated green with a massive drop-off on the right side.

On The Green These bold fairway contours allow golfers to direct their tee shots either right or left depending where the flag is located.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee This is a terrific par-five encouraging attempts to steal length down the left-hand side but bringing the out-of-bounds into play.

From The Fairway From the fairway the player is greeted by a semi-blind second shot where a glimpse of the top of the flag indicates the general direction of a green shaped like a horseshoe, a wonderful design feature harking back to the era of legendary Scottish architect Dr Alistair Mackenzie.

On The Green

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee A short hole measuring av. 152 metres and is heavily fortified down the left side by waste bunker.

From The Fairway The tee-shot needed to reach a green, set diagonally to the line of play,is a towering mid iron, long fabled as a Norman trademark. Anything going long or right ends up down below in a deep swale that presents a difficult up and down.

On The Green Playing from this mowed grass below the level of the putting surface offers several options: the putter, some sort of wedge, or even a fairway metal.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee A quite undulating fairway full of any manner of rolls and dips. The green is set up high with only the horizon as a backdrop.

From The Fairway This point of the course though offers not only wonderful views of Spencer Gulf but also features a false front and a putting surface totalling an incredible 1200 square metres in total area.

On The Green Players failing to carry their approach shot far enough often watch in amazement as the ball rolls back toward them down a steep bank.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee A green which features terrific surface contours and small ridges that divides the green into different sectors.

From The Fairway The difficulty is further compounded by the green opening up from the left meaning the approach is easier from this side of the fairway adjacent to a massive vegetated sand-hill.

On The Green Classic bunkering to front of the green on the right and a run-off area to the left completes a layout full of endless fascination.
