Hole 1

334m – Par 4

The opening drive of your round requires an accurate tee shot as the fairway is guarded on both sides by large trees. The longer hitter may even be better hitting a 3 wood or hybrid iron from the the tee. From the corner of the dogleg it is about 120m to the green, which sits above you and well guarded by bunkers.

Hole 2

281m – Par 4

Only a short par 4 but the big challenge is avoiding the large dam on the right, which you must carry for your 2nd shot. From the tee you only need to hit your tee shot about 170 metres but it must be straight. From there you have about 110 metres to a large green, but it is all carry over the dam. Short but tough hole.

Hole 3

115m – Par 3

Only a short par 3 but is surrounded by bunkers and the green is the smallest on the course. Plays a lot tougher than it’s rating of 17.

Hole 4

471m – Par 5

Uphill par 5 that usually plays into the prevailing north easterly so therefore plays longer than it’s length. Fairway slopes right to left for the full length of the hole which makes it difficult to keep the ball on the fairway. The green is a long but thin green that has no bunkers. But don’t miss the green left.

Hole 5

161m – Par 3

One of the best par 3’s in Newcastle. Long but narrow green that is well guarded by bunkers on right and on the left of the green is the valley where double bogey’s are often made. To add to it’s difficulty, it often plays into the prevailing north easterly.

Hole 6

519m – Par 5

Dogleg left par 5. Tee shot is very narrow and requires a right to left shape around the dogleg. Hole slopes from right to left and has OUT OF BOUNDS on right from tee to green. Green is very narrow but long and flat. Don’t miss the green on left side, as it is very hard to get up and down.

Hole 7

394m – Par 4

One of our best par 4’s. Downhill that requires an accurate tee shot with OUT OF BOUNDS on the right and left is well guarded by trees. Second shot is also downhill to a green that is guarded by bunkers on both sides. Keep your second shot below the hole as the green slopes sharply from back to front.

Hole 8

171m – Par 3

Strong uphill par 3 that has a large green guarded on both sides by bunkers. The green slopes sharply from back to front, which makes putting from above the hole very difficult.

Hole 9

388m – Par 4

Good downhill par 4. longer hitters will need to lay up short of the fairway bunker that sits 230 metres from the tee. Second shot is slightly uphill to a small green with no bunkers. Best place to miss the green is short.

Hole 10

397m – Par 4

Our number one indexed hole. A long straight tee shot is required with a slight draw to hold it on the fairway that slopes left to right. The second shot is all uphill to a wide but narrow green. Take one more club than you think for your second shot.

Hole 11

471m – Par 5

A downhill dogleg left par 5. Keep your tee shot on the right side of the fairway so you have a clear view of the green for your second. The green is reachable in two for the long hitters but is well guarded on both sides by bunkers. One spot to avoid is over the green.

Hole 12

309m – Par 4

A short uphill par 4 that plays harder than it’s rating. The fairway is very narrow guarded on both sides by large gum trees and OUT OF BOUNDS on right. Long hitters only need an iron from the tee. The second shot is all uphill to a large flat green. Take an extra club, as you don’t want to miss the green short.

Hole 13

159m – Par 3

Good par 3 with bunkers short of green on both sides. The thing to be wary of on this hole is the wind direction as it often swirls around on this part of the course.

Hole 14

300m – Par 4

Short downhill par 4 that is reachable for long hitters. Try and keep your tee shot down the left side of the fairway and this gives you a good view of the green. Any tee shot down the right side will not have a clear view of the green. The second shot will only be a short pitch shot to a green that is shaped a little like an upside down saucer.

Hole 15

373m – Par 4

Our signature hole. Long uphill par 4 with a slight dogleg left. Tee shot must be right of centre. Anything going left will make it impossible to reach the green in two. The second shot is to a wide but narrow green and is guarded on the right with a deep bunker. Add one to two clubs for your second shot, being long is better than being short.

Hole 16

192m – Par 3

Long downhill par 3 over water. From the back tee over 190 metres to a long but narrow green guarded by bunkers on both sides. Like the 13th hole, always seems hard to work out the direction of the wind.

Hole 17

437m – Par 5

Straight away par 5 that requires a tee shot slightly right of centre. Reachable in two for the longer hitters. Don’t miss the second shot to the right as it is heavily wooded. Best option is to lay up about 50 metres short of green and pitch onto a green that slopes towards you. Try and leave yourself an uphill putt.

Hole 18

151m – Par 3

Another good par 3 that is uphill and normally plays into the prevailing wind. Guarded on the left and front right by bunkers. Large green with a few undulations. Take one to two clubs more than you think.
