Indooroopilly Golf Club (River Course)

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.

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.
