Meadow Springs Golf & Country Club

A generous sized fairway. Keep the tee shot left to avoid a hungry fairway bunker. Your approach shot must stay left as a cavernous bunker awaits anything to the right of the green.

Another generous sized fairway with little trouble. Bang off a long tee shot here to set up an easy second shot. Long hitters can carry the left side fairway bunker leaving an iron to the green. If not attempting this in two, leave yourself far enough back to play a full shot to the elevated green.

Short par four rewarding accuracy over power. The ideal tee shot is a lay up just short of the left fairway bunker, leaving a short iron to a particularly long and narrow green. The temptation from the tee is to blast a driver over the right hand fairway bunker to the corner of the dogleg. A risk not worth the return.

Discriminating par three rejecting all who are short. Take plenty of club to this large green protected by a wall of turf at the front. Getting down for two from the valley in front of this green leaves a lot of chance.

Straightforward short par four if played as a dogleg. The fairway drastically narrows at 250m mark causing unnecessary problems for the overly bold golfer. Your approach shot tends to stop very quickly here so be up.

A sweeping dogleg left par four over a crest. Your tee shot must stay right as anything left is either swallowed by the fairway bunker or you find approach blocked by a towering tuart. The fairway opens out to the right more than is apparent on the tee. Your approach shot must carry well onto the green as anything short will stop very quickly.

A straightforward par five over a crest that rewards those who stay to the left. A large gum tree blocks your second shot if the tee shot is out to the right.

A challenging par three penalising any shot that is short or left. Aim your shot to the right back section of the green taking perhaps two clubs more than the yardage may suggest. The large bank behind the green returns anything long back on to the putting surface.

A ferocious par four that challenges all who play it. The key is to play your tee shot well to the left with high trajectory to stop the ball rolling into the fairway bunkers that guard the left side. The approach demands that you are well up and to the right of the centre to avoid the deep grass valley to the left and short of this green.

Featuring a sparkling lake along its right hand side, this medium par four is visually deceptive. The fairway bunkers along the left hand side are further away than they appear as is the putting surface. The key on the approach shot again to be up as there is some dead ground if front of the green.

A stunning par three over a lake with a green offering a large variety of pin placements. Any approach shot that lands short lands wet. The percentage target is the back right section of the green.

A long par four requiring a careful approach shot. Anything landing short of this raised green is swept away into a deep valley. A high approach shot gives the best chance of hitting the green. Keep your tee shot to the right and avoid being blocked out by the large gum tree at the dogleg corner on the left.

A short par four requiring a controlled tee shot. Four bunkers frame the landing area for the shot which must be played with great height to prevent the ball from rolling. If a tee shot rolls more than 15m or so it is likely to be swallowed by one of the bunkers. Once again the approach shot must be well up to carry over the large mound at the green's front right corner.

Another short par four with a demanding tee shot. Any tee shot heading left is potentially lost or unplayable. Anything to the right is blocked out by trees making the approach shot difficult - often from a sandy lie. After a straight drive you will be left with a semi blind approach shot to a green whose flagstick appears closer than it really is.

Meadow Springs' signature hole from an elevated tee provides a stunning vista of the developed golf course and the land from which it has been carved. A long drive down to the left side opens the fairway to the second shot. A sloping green adds the challenge.

The last and most difficult of the par threes. Missing the green left or right leaves devilishly difficult bunker shot. A ball landing short of the green rolls away down the large slope short of the green. Aim your approach shot to the back centre left section of the green. Club slection is critical here.

A dogleg par four with a fairway gently sloping from left to right. Aim centre left off the tee and your ball will roll down to the centre of the fairway. Any tee shot to the right makes this hole harder than it should be. The approach shot is uphill to a green with three levels. Take two clubs more than the yardage suggests.

The final challenge from an elevated tee through a tuart chute. Longer hitters can reach this par five easily in two shots - and should try to do so. The sharply sloping fairway to the "sahara" bunker makes the second shot lay up a stern test of courage and technique. Keep your lay up shot well to the left to avoid rolling into sandy oblivion.
