The West Course was designed by the legendary Dr Alister Mackenzie and features all the elements of strategic design that make the game both challenging and enjoyable for both professionals and amateurs. A classic example of Mackenzie’s work is the 10th hole measuring less than 300 metres. A cavernous bunker set into the hill defends the green and dictates club selection.
Players have a range of options available on what is a wonderful example of risk-reward golf. Alex Russell designed the East Course. The 18th hole has determined the winner of many big tournaments and matches. It is rightfully considered one of the finest finishing holes in golf.
A composite course combining 12 holes of the West Course and six from the East is used to host Major events. This format is used so that play is contained in the main paddock and no roads are crossed over. The Composite has long been rated in the top 10 courses of world golf.
