General overview:The course lies in a natural valley surrounded by beautiful rolling hills. Thousands of mature native trees, together with well-designed traditional-style buildings give the golf course its unque, distinctly Northern character. Its contoured terrain, interspersed with creeks and water hazards, offers a challenge to golfers of all handicaps. The clever use of bunkering and strategic placement of water hazards make it a neccessyity to be accurate if a good score is to be achieved. This is exemplified at signature. hole number nine, where the tee shot needs to be 'placed' between water hazards on both sides of the fairway, folloeed by a long carry over the big pond to a sloping green.
