From The Tee

From The Fairway A short, tight par 5 but don’t let the index fool you, a bogey can be found easily on this hole. From the tee avoid trouble on the left and stay short of the fairway bunkers, from here a simple lay-up shot into the heart of the fairway should leave you about 100m to the green.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway

Hole 8

On The Green The green has a large tear running across it from left to right making an approach shot to the back pin more difficult. The safe shot when the pin is at the back of the green is to play for the middle, avoiding the bunkers and the water.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee The 14th hole at Redland Bay Golf Club is the club’s signature hole. Many conversations are heard at the 19th, of players discussing tales about this monster. A par 5, measuring 508 meters, players need to avoid Moreton Bay’s mudflats to the right, dense trees to the left and 7 pot bunkers strategically placed on the fairway and around the green.

From The Fairway To make matters more difficult, when playing this hole during king tides, the mudflats turn into one enormous water hazard, running down the right hand side of this entire hole.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The fairway bunkers on the right hand side of the fairway need to be avoided when playing this hole. A lay-up tee shot of about 180 metres should find a player just short of these bunkers leaving an approach shot of about 140 metres to a small and difficult green.

On The Green For the longer hitter they can take the fairway bunkers on by hitting their tee shot down the left hand side of the fairway or by flying it over the fairway bunkers, though they will need to carry their tee shot at least 225m to achieve this.
