HOLE 1 PAR 4
BLUE 355M; WHITE 340M; R: 4 RED 318; YELLOW 313 R: 4
DESCRIPTION: The 1st tee is on the other side of the gully. This is a straight, tree lined par 4. There is a dam which may come into play nearer the green for a wayward shot to the right. Longer hitters can reach the dam from the tee. The green is a little elevated and slopes from back to front. Head off the back of the green to the next tee.

HOLE 2 PAR 5
BLUE 451M; WHITE 436M; R: 18; RED 367M; YELLOW 362M; R: 9
DESCRIPTION: This par 5 is a dogleg left with a creek crossing the fairway (penalty area) approximately 90 metres from the green. There is a fairway bunker on the left hand side 214 metres from the blue tee and 130 metres from the red tee. For those laying up with their second shot the fairway slopes slightly down to the creek. The green is elevated, sloping slightly back to front.
(There is a toilet located to the left of the green which can be accessed after the 5th hole also.)

HOLE 11 PAR 5
BLUE 467M; WHITE 452M; R: 17 RED 411M; YELLOW 406M; R: 5

HOLE 3 PAR 4
BLUE 358M; WHITE 343M; R: 8 RED 335M; YELLOW 330M; R: 10
DESCRIPTION: The men play tee shots over the close creek for this par 4. Ladies head over the bridge to the tee. The dogleg right has two large gums on the right corner which need to be steered clear of to enable a shot over the dam to the green. Big hitters may consider going over the trees to the green but have to consider the “risk / reward” with this strategy. Shorter hitters will need to play a second to the corner before a short shot into this raised green which is protected by water on the right and a bunker on the left. Over the back is not the place to be. All motorised traffic MUST follow the cart directional signs and proceed left around the trees to the back of the green. Give way to players playing the 1st/10th hole. The next tee is behind the 3rd green.

The second largest green on the course awaits you. There is a bunker on the left. There is a large landing area to the front right if players need to use it. There is a large gum to the right of the green. Use the bridge on the left to cross the creek.

HOLE 6 PAR 4
BLUE 306M; WHITE 291M; R: 12 RED 237M; YELLOW 232M; R: 14
DESCRIPTION: This hole is in the newer open area of the course and is a slight dogleg right. A shallow fairway bunker 201 metres from the blue tee on the right needs to be avoided. It is a reachable 135 metres from the red tee for the ladies. A penalty area runs along the left side of the fairway. As the fairway dips down approaching the green there is a creek on the right and left of the dip. The elevated green slopes from right to left with a tier and sits across the fairway with a bunker front right. Shots which do not quite make the green can easily roll back into the bunker. The rear of the green slopes away steeply.

HOLE 7 PAR 5
BLUE 503M; WHITE 488M; R: 6 RED 374M; YELLOW 369M; R: 8
DESCRIPTION: A dogleg right par 5 which will often play into the westerly wind. Again the men have a tee shot over a close gully to start the hole off. A second creek crosses the fairway at approximately 130 metres out, with the fairway ending 5 metres before that. Those laying up should note that the fairway slopes down slightly to the creek. A large gum on the right may also affect play at this point. The fairway bends to the right requiring an approach from the left. The green is raised and framed by gum trees on the right and rear.
