From one of the four tees players should be aware of the bunkers on the right. Players should be equally aware not to aim too far left in an endeavour to avoid them as anything left will result in a blind shot to the green. The second shot should be played with enough club to carry the green side bunkers.

From the tee play left of the fairway bunkers on the right and endeavour to be as long off the tee as possible. For the longer hitter it is possible to reach the green in two but extreme care should be taken as anything right will find the hazard. It is best to play short of the fairway bunkers aiming a little left to provide a relatively straightforward shot to the green.

A long drive will carry the fairway bunker on the right but care should be taken and it is best to play short if unsure as to whether it can be carried or not.

Play right of the fairway bunkers to leave a fairly straightforward although long shot to the green. A very large green awaits you and it is important to be sure you play your shot to the right quadrant of the green as some very long and difficult putts can result if a wayward stroke is played to the wrong area.

Quite a challenging par three. It is very important to be aware of where the pin is located and to ensure you play long enough to carry the water in front of the green side bunker on the right. Anything played too far right will end up in the water hazard which surrounds the most of the right hand side of the green.

The tee shot should be aimed to the left of the fairway. Anything finding the right will make for a very difficult par. The second shot should be played though the gap in the trees being sure to avoid the fairway bunkers which run up most of the right side of the fairway. Care should be taken to establish where the pin is located as anything short or long will result in a difficult putt to the hole.

Depending on which way the wind is blowing the hole will provide a considerable amount of variety off the tee. From the back marker most members will require a wood to be played. From the front however a shot played left centre will result in a fairly straight forward two putt for par.

The best drive will be aimed straight up the fairway and fall short of the fairway bunkers on the right. The second should be aimed over the right hand edges of the bunkers on the left providing an easy access to a forgiving green. Be sure to check the wind before playing your shot as this can vary greatly from fairway to green.

The best shot will be played centre right to avoid the fairway bunker on the left. The second straightforward shot, is best played to the centre right of the green. The area to the right and back will provide assistance to any shot played a little too far right. Anything played left of the green will find trouble resulting in a bogey at best.

From the men's tee aim just left of the house on the hill. Use your driver to get as far down the fairway as possible. The second shot to the green will be from around the 150 metre mark. Aim just left of the green side bunker on the right and the ball should feed toward the centre of the green.

The safest drive will be one that comes up short of the fairway bunker and finishes centre left of the fairway. A strong fairway club will put you in the best position to approach the green which is heavily guarded by bunkers. A shot to the left portion of the green is the safest. For those wishing to carry the bunkers be sure to take enough club to carry the green side bunker which is hidden from view by the fairway bunker on the right.

A long par three which is heavily bunkered to the left and right. A solid long iron or fairway wood should be aimed at the right hand edge of the bunker at the rear centre left of the green. The front twenty percent of the green can be seen from the tee.

A solid shot up the fairway to get as close as possible to the fairway bunkers is best. Care should be taken as to where the pin position is as a wayward shot left or right of the pin will leave a more demanding putt.

A strong drive aimed at the water tower on top of Collaroy plateau will deliver the ball to the centre of the fairway at the bottom of the hill where the fairway doglegs to the left. A medium iron to the green is best placed toward the centre left of the green to avoid the green side bunkers and wetland.

Drive toward the left of the fairway bunkers on the right to obtain the best position from which to play your second over the creek. The second should be aimed right of the green side bunkers. Care should be taken not to go long as anything over the back of the green will most possibly result in a very difficult return shot having to be played.

A straight par five toward the house on the hill. Three good shots will be required to reach this green. The green is very large and is as much as three clubs different from front to back. You should take note of where the pin is located before making your approach shot.

Possibly one of the best par three?s in Sydney this hole will provide plenty of variety and challenge depending on which way the wind blows. At only 122 metres this is not a long hole but a pulled or short shot will give you plenty to think about for your second.

A strong drive is still required from the tee if you are to get home in two. Longer hitters will need to keep to the left hand side of the fairway to avoid the fairway bunkers. With the green being raised nearly a metre the player can now see nearly all of the putting surface from the fairway. The second should be aimed to the right of the weather vane to avoid the greenside bunker that protects the front left of the green.
