Course Info

With spectacular views of the Kaimai Ranges, the front nine of the course winds along some challenging water features before making its way towards the residential subdivision and then back to the Country Club.

The back nine heads out from the Country Club to the far end of the course where it’s slightly more open and has views of the harbour. Here you will face some challenging but rewarding holes before returning to the Country Club so you can replenish and refresh yourself in our café and bar.

The raised tee gives you a view of the upcoming five holes highlighting the challenging location of the water features ahead. Best played down the right side to allow the natural contour to bring your ball back to the centre for the best angle into this green.

Men	Blue	Par 5	477 metres	Stroke 9
	White	Par 5	435 metres	Stroke 9
Women	White	Par 5	435 metres	Stroke 3

The start of the challenging long holes. From the elevated tee take in the layout of the next five holes so you can plan your route tee to green noting the water and contours. On the tee this par 5 rolls out before you, use the generous fairway to help you gain the advantage but beware the out of bounds to the left of the raised green, the deep bunker to the right and a hidden trap long left.

Men	Blue	Par 5	509 metres	Stroke 1
	White	Par 5	496 metres	Stroke 1
Women	White	Par 5	496 metres	Stroke 1
	Yellow	Par 5	450 metres	Stroke 1
This par 5 is often considered the signature hole of the course with breath taking views to the ranges and back to the harbour. From the tee the landing zone looks narrow with out of bounds to the left and water to the right. Do not force the shot, the fairway is wider than you think. Play this hole to your capabilities and putting out will be a pleasure.

Men	Blue	Par 4	372 metres	Stroke 3
	White	Par 4	372 metres	Stroke 3
Women	White	Par 5	372 metres	Stroke 7
	Yellow	Par 4	300 metres	Stroke 7
Another daunting hole from the tee but there is generous fairway ahead so play to the left of the fairway to take the river out of play. The swale across the fairway only catches out the longer hitters in the winter months so good course management will tame this long hole.

Men	Blue	Par 4	299 metres	Stroke 15
	White	Par 4	273 metres	Stroke 13
Women	White	Par 4	273 metres	Stroke 11
	Yellow	Par 4	243 metres	Stroke 10
An uphill blind par 4 requires an act of faith as you hug the bank to the left of the ridge. A good tee shot rewards all players. When you rise the crest you are greeted by a green tucked slightly to the left with a stream to the front requiring the attention of both the shorter and the longer hitter.

Men	Blue	Par 4	345 metres	Stroke 7
	White	Par 4	340 metres	Stroke 5
Women	White	Par 4	340 metres	Stroke 5
	Yellow	Par 4	295 metres	Stroke 4
The club house beckons but beware the water hazard down the right of the fairway and the pond long front. Respect this hole and it will reward you. The bunker short right of the green is balanced by the banking to the right and rear of the green. Go left and you’ll face a challenging final approach to a friendly putting surface.

Men	Blue	Par 3	164 metres	Stroke 6
	White	Par 3	132 metres	Stroke 8
Women	White	Par 3	132 metres	Stroke 10
	Yellow	Par 3	404 metres	Stroke 17
How confident are you feeling? Water to the front and left short and to the right long. Aim to the left to run the ball into the green.

Men	Blue	Par 3	126 metres	Stroke 12
	White	Par 3	116 metres	Stroke 10
Women	White	Par 3	116 metres	Stroke 18
	Yellow	Par 3	106 metres	Stroke 18
Plays uphill back to the clubhouse. Only a short par 3 but allow for the elevation and prevailing winds if blowing with a bank to the left, a bunker to the right of the green and out of bounds to the right.

Men	Blue	Par 3	151 metres	Stroke 13
	White	Par 3	148 metres	Stroke 11
Women	White	Par 3	148 metres	Stroke 14
	Yellow	Par 3	141 metres	Stroke 15
A short par 3 inviting you to attack the pin. The water and a large bunker to the left and houses to the right are the only distractions.
