SHORT COURSE UPDATE
Newly completed last month, a Short Course has been implemented to offer a more compact yet strategic challenge for beginners, junior golfers, or those looking for a fast-paced game. The markers have been placed approximately halfway between the main tees and the hole.
Golf Australia will shortly (pun intended) review the course to give it an official rating, ready for competitive play from the Tidal Grey Tees to tee off!
