Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee A straightforward par 4 of 318 metres with a large bunker adjacent to the green that will capture any shot that is left and short of the green.

From The Fairway On the LHS of the fairway for the first 150 metres is a wetlands area marked as a water hazard. The difficulty of this hole is the tricky green that slopes from back to front.

On The Green Any shot through the green or above the hole will often mean goodbye to a par and 3+ putts are not uncommon.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee A short par 3 of 126 metres that demands accuracy as the green is guarded by a large River Red Gum tree and bunkers down the left hand side of the green.

From The Fairway

On The Green The optimal tee shot is to fly the tree or the less confident golfer can choose to run their tee shot under the tree but this demands precision because of the long grass from tee to green.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee A short tricky par 4 hole of 279 metres with a right hand dog leg with O-O-B down the length of the hole on the RHS and another large River Red Gum that protects the inside of the dog leg.

From The Fairway The player has a choice of tee shots, lay up and position their tee shot along side or just past the large gum tree or for the bigger hitters go direct to the green by flying the large tree or cutting the corner of the dog leg.

On The Green Through the dog leg is an area of several trees and the wetlands area mentioned for the first hole. These features will often make it a difficult shot to the green.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This is the club’s “signature” hole, a challenging par 4 of 422 metres. Some 75-100 metres from the tee is a large River Red Gum that occupies 75% of the fairway so an accurate and thoughtful tee shot is necessary.

On The Green But beware, the length of the RHS is OOB and the natural slope of the land will take the balls towards this fence. Having negotiated the initial difficulties, the player is still faced with a long shot to the green that is unsighted until about 75 metres out. A bogey score on this hole is a good score.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee A short uphill par 3 of 120 metres with a reasonably large green that is surrounded by bunkers (sand and “irish”) at the front and left hand side of the green.

From The Fairway The difficulty of this hole is the selection of club as it is difficult to judge the position of the pin from the teeing area.

On The Green

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee A par 4 of 298 metres that demands an accurate shot from the tee as it is located in a chute with trees forward of the LHS of the tee and OOB on the RHS.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green is well guarded with two bunkers short and left of the green and an Irish bunker protecting the RHS of the green.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Another par 4 of 310 metres that necessitates a straight shot off the tee with OOB along the RHS of the hole and a heavily timbered area on the LHS of the fairway.

On The Green Players must negotiate a large gully (dry) that runs across the fairway at about 150-170 metres from the tee, The green is of a generous size but features a distinct ridge that runs from the front of the green to the back.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee A par 4 of 292 metres. A generous fairway that is dominated by two large River Red Gums on each side of the fairway but inside of the fairway at approx. 80 metres from the green.

From The Fairway

On The Green The position of these trees demands careful placement of the tee shot in order to provide a straight forward approach shot to the green.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee A slightly downhill par 4 of 353 metres with a tree lined fairway to capture any stray tee shots. The position of the 9th tee creates a slight left handed dog leg.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green is protected by large bunkers on either side of the green. The danger is through the green where a boundary fence exists (O-O-B) or when short of this, a shot to an elevated green from the long grass is required.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee The normal tenth tee provides for a relatively straight tee shot but the spare (third) tee for this hole is slightly offset and creates a slight right handed dog leg from the tee.

From The Fairway The danger then, is a straight shot that overshoots the fairway into a copse of trees and bushes that makes for a difficult shot to the green.

On The Green

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee The position of the tee makes for a straighter shot than that from the second tee but the same shot options and difficulties apply.

From The Fairway

On The Green

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee A par 4 of only 261 metres and for the big hitters, the Green is reachable off the tee but beware, do not go left or right as an inaccurate shot will see you chalk up a double or even a triple bogey.

From The Fairway An accurate long shot off the tee should reward the player with at least a par and possibly a birdie.

On The Green

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee This tee is located only 7-10 metres forward of the tee for the fourth hole so the same comments are relevant.

From The Fairway

On The Green On some occasions when the tee is well forward, the tee shot seems less daunting than the usual tee locations.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee When the north-westerly or westerly winds are up, the shot from this tee must be accurate and the club chosen can often be 2-3 clubs longer than normal.

From The Fairway

On The Green

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee Another hole that is affected by a westerly wind and can lengthen the hole considerably.

From The Fairway

On The Green

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee A par 4 of 273 metres with an O-O-B fence running the length of the right hand side of the fairway .

From The Fairway A good tee shot will reward the player with a relatively straight forward short iron to a generous size green

On The Green With a maximum of two putts you will be rewarded with par, or better.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A par 4 of 328 metres with a generous fairway that demands a good tee shot to set up a second shot that is able to negotiate the two large trees on the fairway and reach the green.

On The Green

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee A straight downhill par 4 of 360 metres to finish the round. Hopefully you have recorded a good score and earned a drink In the clubhouse.
