Indooroopilly Golf Club (Captains Course)

A reachable par 5 to start the nine. The drive between trees right and bunker left needs to hit the fairway to improve your chances. The second shot miss a bunker 60m from the putting surface. The relatively flat green is not bunkered and offers a good start to the nine.

Longest par 3 on the course. Trees left and right make it a very intimidating hole. A generous green sloping from back to front also provides a putting test.

A dogleg left this hole tends to be a bit of a sleeper. Trees left and right make accuracy off the tee a priority. The second shot is uphill to a green, which is deceptive to judge the distance. The putting surface looks reasonably flat however subtle breaks make for very difficult putts.

A tough hole requiring accuracy from the tee to provide the best chance to hit the green in two. The second shot being made difficult by a two-tiered green. A bunker left, steep rise in front and a heavily grassed bank to the right are some of the challenges this green offers. Walk off here with a 4 and a big smile!

A blind tee shot with out of bounds to the right and unforgiving trees down the left side. An ideal drive will be slightly left off the tee giving a good angle for the second shot. Finding the fairway short and right of fairway bunker with second shoot will leave an uphill approach. Leaving the ball below the pin is optimal otherwise fast breaking putts will be encounted.

One of the toughest driving holes at Indooroopilly. A dam right and trees left must be negotiated. A serve slope on the green from right yo left will put a premium on the approach shot to be under the hole. Miss this green left and you will be faced with a difficult recovery. The right side of the green will provide some friendly assistance onto a putting surface, which can catch the player with speed and break

A downhill par 3 where your club selection is important. The green, which has no bunkers, drops away on all sides so a miss will find some difficult positions from which to make par. The putting surface is quite friendly so if you hit the green a birdie is not out of the question.

A strong drive over a rise in the fairway is required to set up the hole. The second shot will require an iron to a plateau green with no bunkers. Any shot left will bound down the slope and find rough or trees. Although the green looks flat there are some subtle breaks, which add further teeth to this difficult hole.

Before you play your tee shot enjoy the view over the complex. Driving well here is a must. The bunkers on the right cannot be carried easily. Too far left will find trees and trouble. The downhill run will help any tee shot where a second shot may vary as much as a fairway wood to wedge. This approach is to a green with a ridge through the middle.

A dogleg left with a premium on accuracy with the tee shot. Ideally a drive to the right of centre will open up the second shot to a very long and narrow green. Missing the green to the left will find a bunker, which makes saving a par very difficult.

A straightaway hole protected by two fairway bunkers on the right and trees guarding a lateral hazard on the left. The second shot to a generous green plays a little longer than it looks. Once on the green you can be faced with some difficult and big-breaking putts.

This hole has two options on driving one to the right hand side of the fairway bunker to set up a genuine three shot hole or for the more adventures a drive over the gully and to the left of the fairway bunker will leave a straight shot for second. Careful attention is needed to miss the fairway traps on LHS for second shot but two far right will result in a difficult third. Missing the green to the right will find bunkers while the left side has mounds and hollows.

A mid-iron shot to a well- bunkered green will test the skill of the player. A large bunker is prominent short right of the green and will stop a shot running onto the putting surface. Two other bunkers to the left of the green will make 3 a satisfactory outcome.

This hole has the river on the left where you will see the largest colony of fruit bats in the Southern hemi-sphere. The hole requires a strong drive to carry over or negotiate two well- positioned bunkers on LHS. A second shot will find a very large green with bunkers on both sides. A miss on the RHS side will almost certainly result in a bogey.

A lovely straight away tree-lined hole with two well placed fairway bunkers providing the test from the tee. Once on the fairway the second shot to be accurate to avoid the bunkers on both sides. This is a very large green with two tiers to provide some very difficult pin positions.

A good three-shot hole requiring placement and strategy. The drive must miss the bunkers right to set up a second shot which again has to negotiate the cluster of bunkers guarding the landing area 90m from the green. The big hitters can get home for two. The third shot is to a deceptively large green with a rise running through the middle to make placement of approach shot important.

This hole offers a four club variation from front to back. Bunkers on both sides protect the putting surface, which has some very subtle breaks. This is an under-rated hole, which can disrupt a good score.

A delightful finishing hole with the clubhouse as a backdrop. Position off the tee is vital to miss the bunkers left and right. The second shot is uphill and to a green heavily guarded with bunkers. A shot past the flag will give you a fast. The three-tier green compliments the short shot in.
