Gosnells Golf Club

The opening hole at just 280 metres invites a drive to the green but be careful; danger awaits with the green well protected by bunkers and rough. A safer option is a mid iron from the tee and short second into the green. A beautiful hole to start a great round of golf.

A challenging and aesthetic par 5, beautifully shaped with plenty of danger on the right for the thrill seeker. Tee shot should be aimed down the right to avoid the dangerous bunker guarding the left. Position your second left centre of the fairway for the best angle short iron third to the well protected green.

Looking back from the green, what a great hole. Trees on the LHS require accuracy from the tee with a fairway bunker at driving length. A steep climb to the 3 tiered green, well guarded on the left by bunkers and mounds on the right. Selecting the right club in still leaves the challenge of putting on 3 levels. Short and back down the hill you roll

Short, but well bunkered front with grass hollows at the back. This hole changes markedly according to the wind with large trees guarding left and right and a large sloping green a difficult up and down.

At 323m and usually downwind from an elevated tee, this hole is a sleeper. Well bunkered left and with a grass mound front right, the shallow green and severe bank at the rear of the green demands accuracy and clever club selection.

A narrow opening from the tee calls for a straight or faded tee shot. Be sure to take enough club to carry the bunkers short right of the green.

A lovely outlook from the tee, this long difficult par 3 is well guarded by bunkers and thick bush green side left. All but the most accurate of long iron shots will leave a lengthy putt on this large undulating green.

Long, straight away par 4. A good tee shot will leave a mid to long iron into the green which is framed by a bunker on the left and a mound on the right. Sloping from back to front, the green rarely concedes a long putt.

What a challenge with the club house an imposing backdrop. The two tiered sharply elevated green requires an accurate club selection and perfect execution to avoid a difficult putt, not to mention the water in front of the tee. Miss left or right and sand awaits.

Long and imposing. A good drive for the long hitter should see the player on top of the hill but the sharply sloping right to left fairway can punish. A long iron second shot awaits and perhaps even a short pitch shot third to a green well bunkered left and right with a slope at the rear.

Few problems here with a tee shot to a green protected left side and front right. Placement of shot important though with the green sloping sharply from right to front left.

Rated one, a challenging hole indeed. A very difficult dog leg right, the tee shot needs to be long down the left for a straight shot to the green. The second shot faces a bunker on the left and thick fairway fringe down the right with out of bounds also threatening down this side.

Straight away par 5. Wide fairway greets all players. Two straight shots will set up a simple pitch to a friendly green, if you miss all the bunkers in front that is. Back markers and a stiff sea breeze provide added difficulty.

Depending on the wind, this can be a very difficult hole. The high bank at the front of the green and bunkers left and right call for good shot execution. Be careful with the club selection however because the green slopes severely from back to front and there are some nightmare putts to be had at times.

A beautiful hole from an elevated tee. This is indeed a great hole with the tee shot over water and trouble left and right. A large green is protected on both sides by bunkers and with the green sloping back to front, putting can be a challenge. Two well struck straight shots are needed here.

A dog leg left par 4, with trees encroaching down the LHS near the tee. A tee shot right of centre opens up the green for a mid iron second shot. Severe banks on the RHS of the green are there to trap the errant shot. No bunkers around the green, banks and hollows do the job.

A delightful hole as it meanders up to the elevated two tiered green. Trouble if the tee shot strays off the fairway but a challenge to be savoured. If you find the wrong place on this green, a three putt will be the price you pay.

This hole could finish a game with a flourish or ruin a round. For the very long hitters, a decision awaits ? a long second may find the green ? or the water. Safety suggests lay up with your second followed by a short pitch to a two tiered green guarded on the right by the lake. A great view of the club house and surrounds as you crest the hill and whatever the result, you will have completed a challenging round of golf in a truly natural Australian bushland setting on a magnificent golf course.
