Your opening tee shot is best played 200 metres straight at the bunker through the fairway, leaving a short approach to a green guarded by steep slopes short and left. The longer hitter can take the bunkers on but if tee shot is off line you will be well penalised.

A mid-length Par 3 guarded by deep bunkers and hazards left of this two tiered green.

A long Par 5 where players need to favour the right-hand of the fairway as everything feeds left. The longer hitter can reach in two on a good day, else laying up short of the cross bunkers will leave a pitch to this long, multi-levered green.

An uphill Par 3 with bunkers and OOB left of the green. Take one more club than you think to get to the back flag.

A tee shot up the left-hand side to avoid the bunkers sets up a mid-iron approach where all of the trouble is right of the green.

Another tee shot up the left to avoid the bunkers and give the best angle to the green. A large tier leads to a small back shelf which is guarded by bunkers on both sides.

Some respite with a manageable Par 5 in which longer hitters can carry the bunkers off the tee, leaving a downhill approach. Shorter hitters must avoid the bunkers, leaving a second shot over the rise that will run down the hill. Avoid missing the Green long right as it is treacherous.

A challenging uphill Par 3 surrounded by bunkers. Bail out is short right but be sure to miss the cavernous front bunker!

Shorter hitters need to aim down the right-hand side to miss punishing fairway traps, where long hitters can take it over or get the ball moving right to left around them to get a good look at the green. An uphill second shot is littered with bunkers that must be avoided before tackling this sizeable "L" shape green.

A 200 metre tee shot to the plateau on the right keeps your ball away from the OOB and trouble left. Players can afford to take one less club for this picturesque downhill approach. Do not be short with your approach as ball will roll well down to the bottom of the hill, leaving extremely difficult pitch shot.

A demanding uphill Par 3 over the road with bunkers on the left and overhanging trees on the right. Par is a great result here.

A straight away par 4 with a bunker protecting the right edge of fairway. The longer hitter can fly this bunker off the tee. The approach into this green can be either a high shot over the front bunker or can be chased up the front left portion as the land runs from left to right.

The ideal position from the tee is a shot 220 metres right of centre, which will leave you a short approach into a generous green. The main danger is the deep bunkers on the greenside left.

A generous landing area off the tee and for a longer hitter they can take on the corner to then attack the green. The lay up for hte second shot is before the large bunker on the left which will then leave you a short iron shot into a tiered green that slopes from front to back.

A mid length par 3 demanding a high shot over the two large bunkers guarding the green. Any shot missed left or right will run down the swales leaving a delicate chip back up the slope.

A very testing hole. It demands a very accurate long tee shot to a narrowing fairway. Keep approach shot to right-hand side as the left side of green runs severely away and will leave a difficult up and down.

A real risk and reward hole. This can be played two different ways; one being a lay up over the hill and short of the bunkers or a longer hitter can attack the green which is guarded by deep bunkers and thick bushland.

One of the most challenging finishing holes in Sydney. Demands strong tee shot up left-hand side that will need to go 230 metres to sight green, otherwise play right-hand side and leave long iron or possible fairway wood to two-tiered green guarded by deep bunkers. Par here and you will enjoy the 19th even more.
