Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee The opening hole provides a sound examination of a player’s nerve.
From The Fairway The true measure of a golfer is to drive the mound but in an attempt to reach this the majestic eucalypts and blackwoods lining the fairway get more than their share of visitors.
On The Green Avoid going left off tee as the out of bounds can be closer than you think.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole requires a considered choice to carefully place the drive clear of the trouble left and right on the short dogleg left.
From The Fairway Either a fairway metal or long iron will leave no more than a modest wedge to an elevated postage stamp green.
On The Green A front flag position can make this hole more difficult than it looks. Play smart from tee to maximise your opportunity to go at the flag.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A long par 4 generally helped by a prevailing breeze puts the squeeze on producing a good tee shot.
From The Fairway The fairway bunker is generally not in play for the lower markers, however, it does come into play with a southerly blow.
On The Green Hit this fairway and enjoy your second to the heavily bunkered green. Avoid going long as you will have a tricky downhill chip on to the green.

Hole Name

Hole 5
Hole Name

From The Fairway Shaping a fairway metal right to left from the tee can leave you around 150m to the green.
On The Green Crunching a driver over the tall pines and eucalypts that line the left hand side of the fairway can reward you with a short iron to flat green.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee A straight par 5 gives you the chance to recover from the previous hole. Easily reached in 2 by the longer players, grip it and rip it from the tee.
From The Fairway The shallow fairway bunker on the left hand side of fairway should cause few problems if found.
On The Green The green is well protected by some tricky bunkers so lay up well if you are not going for home in 2.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee A short hole protected by water in front of the green and to the left which is usually played with driver in the more temperate seasons.
From The Fairway (Beware of smoking a good one straight into the dam). This leaves a short but demanding pitch over water to an undulating green which slopes away at the back and, disconcertingly, down toward the pond at the front.
On The Green Spin one up a bit when the greens are at their fastest and you can moonwalk it back into the lake.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee A tough par three that requires you to carry the ball 170m to clear the bunker that protects most of the front of this wide green. Hit the ball pin high and you won't find too many problems.
From The Fairway Alternatively slip one just left of the bunker (commonly referred to as veteran’s alley) and role up onto the left hand side of this green.
On The Green In an effort to clear the massive front bunker be careful not to over shoot this green. The ensuing chip will cause some grief.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee The approach shot in front of the clubhouse gallery perched high on the balcony induces many a nervous shot.
From The Fairway You will play your approach without being able to see the base of the pin, so knowing its position is a must. Anything long will leave a difficult chip to the deceptive slopes of the 9th.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee An elevated tee can make this a tricky par 3 especially when the wind picks up. Generally the hole plays a club shorter than its distance suggests thanks again to the elevated starting position. Avoid the bunker to the right and don't go long.
From The Fairway

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This par 5 dogleg right can reward a good drive with only a mid iron required to reach the green in two shots. However trees to the right side of the fairway and the well bunkered approach to the green conspire to make par a well earned reward for a more conservative approach to the hole.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole plays shorter than its distance suggests given that it winds its way gently up hill, with the second shot usually playing into the prevailing conditions.
From The Fairway The tiered green has been responsible for many a foul utterance given that, when prepared for championship play, the slope and speed of the green is such that keeping the ball on its surface requires a deft shot. Do not leave yourself a downhill putt!

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Played from an elevated tee position this hole doglegs left to a green that has bunker protection both on its left and right sides.
From The Fairway With out of bounds right and tree trouble left it’s a very difficult driving hole. What looks like a very flat green has a subtle break that teases the best putters.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee A little gem of a hole with bunkers placed in front and to the left with substantial blackwoods adjacent to further complicate recovery from an errant tee shot.
From The Fairway
On The Green It pays to check the pin location as you walk down the 13th as viewed from the tee it is very difficult to calculate.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee This long hole demands a lengthy drive to the corner with out of bounds along the right hand side.
From The Fairway The second shot over the creek must be placed to set up a very precise shot to a narrow green protected by bunkers either side.
On The Green All the while the prevailing winds push any slice out of bounds and towards the most delicious blackberries in the Tamar Valley.

Hole Name
From The Tee Played into a prevailing breeze from the top left quadrant this hole can be very difficult to conquer, demanding a precise shot late in the round when questions are being asked of one’s nerves.
From The Fairway Make sure your club selection is spot on and remember, if you miss it left of the bunker, you will not make par.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee A magnificent double dogleg shaped hole which plays its full length due to the elevated green location.
From The Fairway The tee shot needs to be directed to the centre or right side of the fairway to allow the second shot to be placed on the left side of the fairway.
On The Green Two very good hits can see you make this tough par 5 in 2. The smart play however is to leave yourself a comfortable pitch following a smart layup. The green is protected on both sides by bunkers which are far less daunting than the shot you will have if you go long!
