A long par 4 opening hole requires a strong drive. A missed drive to the right will end in a swale, or worse, in thick bush. The long approach shot is uphill to a green protected by bunkers on the left.

The green has a severe slope from back to front making long putts exceedingly difficult. A par is a great start to the Dune course.

A short par 4, which requires an accurate drive with sufficient height to clear the Tuart tree in front of the tee. A bunker will catch the wayward drive left and thick bush with a drive to the right. The cart path down the right side of the hole also presents a hazard as a rebound will send the ball into the bush, or worse, beyond the OOB on the right side of the path.

The green is protected by bunkers left and right. With a heavily contoured green sloping from back to front it is important to land the ball in the correct location to avoid a three putt.

This hole plays from an elevated tee to a wide landing area split in two by a spine of thick rough. However, a drive left will disappear into a patch of thick bush and to the right OOB, which continues up the right side and around a rocky area below the bunker. A large rock, “Carricks Head”, may also snooker a good drive down the right side. The approach shot is uphill and enquires careful club selection to land in the correct location on the green.

A bunker front left, and grassy hollow right will catch wayward shots. Short of the green will end up back down the slope making a get up and down difficult. The green slopes from back to front with a hump in the back portion making long putts extremely difficult.

A challenging long par 3 when played from the back tee, especially into the wind. This hole spells trouble with anything offline. Bunkers back left and right will collect shots too long. A wayward shot left will bounce down a steep slope into a Penalty Area, or worse, into thick bush. A shot to the right will be OOB, unless you get lucky and it ricochets off the cliff face onto the green.

Anything short of the green will roll back into a gully. Being on the wrong side of a spine which cuts the green in half will likely result in a three putt. A par on this hole is a great outcome.

From an elevated tee, this short par 5 is a dogleg to the left. Extensive fairway undulations are a feature of this hole. Long hitters can clear the left fairway bunker and set up an eagle chance. Otherwise, bunkers are in play either side of the landing area. The second shot must be long enough and to the right to clear the large Tuart tree, leaving a relatively easy pitch to a two-tier green. Mishit shots will find bunkers left and right of the landing area.

The green is protected by a bunker at the front and steep slopes around the right side and rear of the green. Being on the correct tier is critical to avoid a three putt.

A long par 4 requiring an accurate drive up the left side to a sloping fairway right. Bunkers left and right are in play to catch wayward drives. Long hitters will be able to reach the gully for an uphill pitch.

The approach must be hit over a deep gully to a two-tier green. Short shots will find bunkers left or run back down into the gully. A three-putt may result if not on the correct tier.

A short but very demanding par 3 over a valley of scrub, particularly when a south-westerly wind blows. Anything too short tee again. Bunkers left and right will catch mishit shots. Too long the ball will stay on the back grassy slope, too short will roll down the slope.

The narrow green has three tiers, each presenting a small target area. A par on this hole is gold!

A short dogleg left requires an accurate drive to a landing area between a bunker left and two bunkers right. Long hitters may take on the green, but a mishit will find a large bunker front left of the green or scrub right of the fairway. Short hitters will be playing their second from “old men’s gully”.

The approach is to a contoured green with a gully running through the middle half. When the pin is in the gully a birdie opportunity awaits.

A good drive that avoids the left bunker will give long hitters a chance to go for the green in two. A drive too far right will be blocked out by trees. The second shot is played to a landing area between grassy slopes on the left and right of the fairway, which will funnel the ball back onto the fairway if mishit.

A delicate pitch is required to land the ball in the correct location on a heavily contoured and sloping green. Bunkers left and right of the green are also in play. A good closing risk-reward hole.
