Yarra Bend Golf - Golf Course, Range & Adventure Golf

Like all good opening holes, the 1st at Yarra Bend allows you to get off to a good start. The hole is a slight dog leg right with lots of room on the left side of the fairway. For the long hitter the tee shot line is just left of the trees on the right corner of the fairway, this will allow a clear second shot to the green.The green is long and narrow and if you?re not confident in your direction, it is best to leave your ball either short or to the left side of the green for an easier up and down.

A difficult hole that generally plays into the prevailing wind. Long hitters can carry to the corner on the left, otherwise play down the left side for the best approach to the green, but be aware that the tee box aims slightly to the right.You are welcomed by a large green with subtle slopes from back to front and diagonally left to right. The best approach to the green is from the left side of the fairway.

One of the shortest holes on the course, but like all good short holes there's plenty of difficulty. A tricky green that slopes from right to left, it is slightly hidden by a large sand trap on the left. The pin position will determine the type of shot you need to play.

This long downhill par three hole is one of the toughest par 3 holes on the course. A long accurate tee shot is required with anything falling short or right rolling away down the steep bank. A three on this hole is a great score.

Your tee shot here needs to be right centre of the fairway but you must also consider the right to left sloping fairway. Your tee shot will need to be directed right of centre to give you the perfect line into the green. Your second shot will need to be threaded between greenside bunkers strategically positioned on both sides of the green for any chance of hitting it in two. Longer hitters may be able to reach the green in two if they can carry or thread their ball between the two greenside bunkers guarding the front and right side of the green. In making your way to the 10th tee, you walk by the golf shop... an opportunity to refresh and grab a tasty mid-round snack.

An uphill par 3 which demands a solid tee shot with a mid iron/ long iron. Hit the green and par is easy, catch one of the bunkers or many slopes and a difficult pitch shot will remain. With the large bank at the back of the green a longer tee shot may seem wise; however the putt or chip back down the hill is treacherous.
