1st Hole
Par: 4 /
Distance: 314m / 311m
Pro's Tips: Out of bounds down the left hand side, favour the right hand side with your tee shot for a better angled short iron approach. Beware of under clubbing with your approach due to a steep bank on the front edge of the green.
2nd Hole
Par: 4 /
Distance: 317m
Pro's Tips: Out of bounds down the left hand side, an awkward shaped green to hit requiring an accurate approach from the centre left of fairway. Avoid the deep bunker on the front right of green.
3rd Hole
Par: 4 / 5
Distance: 403m / 388m
Pro's Tips: Solid tee shot required around dog-leg leaving you with a mid to long iron to an elevated green. Avoid the thick trees on the right side of green.
4th Hole
Par: 3
Distance: 108m
Pro's Tips: Your club selection is critical depending on the wind. Favour the centre left hand side of the green to avoid trouble on the right with the bunker and canal.
5th Hole
Par: 4
Distance: 302m / 292m
Pro's Tips: A short straightaway par 4. Water hazard down the left hand side is out of bounds. A relatively flat green with subtle breaks to test the finer putters.
6th Hole
Par: 4
Distance: 302m / 292m
Pro's Tips: Difficult dog-leg par 4 with out of bounds on both sides. Woollahra Oval on the right of the fairway and Mallick Hill beyond the canal on the left. Off the tee favour centre left of fairway as it is critical to ensure a clear shot to a large flat green.
7th Hole
Par: 4
Distance: 294m / 285m
Pro's Tips: Short narrow par 4 requiring accurate tee shot with out of bounds on left hand side and thick trees guarding right side. The longer hitter may have a crack at the green. Long two tiered green making club selection important on approach shot.
8th Hole
Par: 4
Distance: 337m / 321m
Pro's Tips: Avoid the out of bounds all the way down the left hand side. Tee shot should favour left centre to avoid overhanging branches guarding right side approach to green which is slightly elevated with undulation from back to front and dropping off to the right.
9th Hole
Par: 3
Distance: 100m / 100m
Pro's Tips: A short but a tough finish. Elevated tee hitting a short iron to a severely undulating green surrounded by deep bunkers and out of bounds over the back. Keep your approach putt below the hole to avoid 3 putting.
