Indooroopilly Golf Club (President's Course)

Opening tee shot must negotiate water on the right some 180m from the tee. Left of centre of fairway provides the best line to a green protected by water on the right. Being too conservative on the left gives a difficult path to a very large green.

This is a dogleg right, which plays as a strong Par 5. Trees guard both sides of the fairway from the tee while a long tee shot can get you home a medium tee shot will bring the fairway bunker into play for your lay-up second shot. The second shot is played through a saddle in the fairway some 150m from the green. The third shot is to a two level green, which has some tricky breaking, and down hill putts.

Slightly left of centre will miss the fairway bunker right and provide a good approach line to a green guarded by bunkers left and short right. This is a very large green and some difficult putts can result from numerous pin positions available. A large subtle swale on left hand side of green needs carful attention with a back pin placement

A strong hole which has bunker short right to catch the under club fade and bunker left to catch the strong pull. Once on the surface your challenge is not over. This green has large breaks with downhill and side hill putts, making 3 a very acceptable score.

A good drive down the right of the fairway will miss the bunkers left. Bunkers short right protect the second shot and wait to collect a miss hit or an under club attempt. This is a very long green and to a back flag there can be up to 4 clubs variation.

This short par 4 oozes character and requires strategic play to record par. A drive over three bunkers requires you to choose the line matching your ability. Miss and you are in sand or worse…thick rough in the gully. The second shot can anything from 4 iron to wedge to a green, which slopes substantially left to right. The left side is well bunkered while right kicks away into heavy rough. The putting surface offers no gifts and any putt above the hole requires your full attention.

Bunkers left and right frame this strong par 4 played from the high tee. Large Tipuana trees right catch the sliced or miss directed tee shot. An approach to a three…yes three…level green must miss greenside bunkers left and right. This is a hole, which plays generally a club longer, or two when the flag is back.

Water completely down the right side presents the challenge here. A drive left of centre will leave a second shot into position some 90m from the green. Only the very long players can cross the water for two. Distance control and confidence on the approach is vital. Played sensibly this hole offers a good shot at a birdie.

Water on the left and a bunker on the right protect the green on this short hole. Wind conditions can play a big role in club selection. The green slopes towards the water and players will find putts break a little more than expected.

This opening hole looks easy at first glance. However a stray tee shot will find a bunker left and a large slope into rough on the right. The brave can try to drive the green but the conservative play is a lay up to 70m from the green provides the best opportunity for a birdie. Once on the green speed will be the biggest challenge.

A dogleg left with trees both sides of the fairway. Water on the right hand side to catch the errant shot and water long left to catch the long hitter. The ideal tee shot right of centre will provide the best line back to the green. A bunker right protects the green and despite looking reasonably some putts will have some large breaks

The Brisbane River on the right and trees both sides of the fairway frame this straightaway Par 5. A drive to the fairway down the left side will give the best approach to the green. Golfers can hit this hole in two. Laying up about 70m from the green will give the best approach to a green, which slopes front to back and offers some very quick putts.

Two trees on the left must be negotiated while staying clear of the trees on the right. The second shot will require a bit of thought because to miss left will find a large slope making par extremely difficult. The green is not a large target but when hit offers a birdie opportunity

Club selection is vital at this short hole. A large bunker protects the left side and a water hazard is further left. The right side can offer some friendly bounces back to this very large green. Putting will be tested with a gently slope from the right and a tier through the middle.

A strong drive is required on this hole to reach a rise in the fairway to have a clear look at the green. A second shot looking down at the green will need to clear a bunker guarding the left side to reach the putting surface. A miss to the right will find a difficult chip shot. The medium-sized green does not present too many difficulties.

Played from a high tee look behind to take in the view of the Brisbane River. It has a deep bunker on the right and trees further right, which are to be avoided at all costs. A tee shot left or a little short will give an opportunity for an "up and down" for par.

This monster par 4 is the longest at our complex. A fade off the tee must negotiate large trees on the right to stay in the fairway which slopes right to left. The second shot, 200m uphill, is played to a flat green with no bunkers. On a hole this long 4 always feels like a birdie.

Enjoy the view of the clubhouse behind the green at this hole. A drive left of a large bunker will give you the best look at the hole. Only the longest hitters will be able to reach the green in two. A lay up 75m short will avoid bunkers both sides of the fairway and provide a chance to attack for a birdie. The green has two levels, putting an emphasis on distance control.
