Portsea Golf Club

New bunkers on the left side create an added challenge to this hole. The line you take from the tee depends on the wind. Slightly right of the Moonah tree is the line for most golfers. The second approach should be played right of the fairway and the chip shot should be taken with utmost care. This green is difficult.

A little par three with a green on the bottom of the hill. It's just a simple low-to-mid iron shot where it's best to find the green as the surrounding undulations can make it difficult to get up and down.

Played from a high tee with great views over the bay. Avoid the left side of the hole all the way to the green as it's out of bounds. Two solid approaches can set up a birdie.

This is the best hole on the course. A great driving hole where you need to keep it centre right. The approach is deceptively long and most golfers leave it short. Take an extra club.

Keep the tee shot to the right side of the fairway. The approach should be played to the left side of the green.

Here is a great opportunity to capitalize on the downhill slope of the tee shot's landing area. A difficult approach shot to a hard green - you need a great deal of loft here.

A long downhill par three that must be played with an accurate iron. Make par from the left or right side bunker is difficult.

A strong birdie chance is offered on the 18th. Once you've hit your drive you have to make a decision. You can either take on the bunkers or lay up. Either way be warned, the green is very slippery.

The first is a great opening hole that lets you get off to a solid start. A long iron approach can be required depending on the wind. There's also a new bunker on the left side of the green.

Appropriately called Little Devil, long hitters go at the green while others tend to lay up. The approach requires plenty of touch.

A classic par five hole. A good tee shot played right of centre can set up a birdie opportunity. The second approach is assisted by a downhill fairway.

Yet another visually stunning hole at Portsea. It?s a rather difficult hole that requires a good drive and an even better approach. The approach here is critical and the green is sensational. Approach shots short or left of the green pay a price here.

Club selection is critical on this wonderful par three. Landing middle to right of centre of the green is rewarded.

Tee shot must be aimed at the tower on the horizon. Depending on the wind, the approach can require anything from a pitching wedge to a three iron. Most golfers under club here, so step up one with the approach.

A tricky short hole. The tee shot must hit the fairway with either a driver or long iron while the approach requires a short lofted club.

An interesting par three hole. Most golfers leave their approach shot so it's best to take another club. If you hit the back part of the green it should roll down.

A good tee shot centre right of the fairway will get you off to a good start on this par four. Most golfers tend to under club here, so take an extra iron shot in. Beware, the left side of the hole is out of bounds.

A blind tee shot that requires you to aim at the large tank on the hill. The approach is to a deceptively large green. Keep it to the left side with the approach.
