GOLF Both of our spectacluar golf courses are listed among the top courses in the country by Autralian Golf Magazine. The resort course is a classic Thomson-Wolveridge course. A par 72 course this exacting but forgiving course has a wide range of fairways and there is no over abundance of water. With 39 sand bunkers, the course cuts through Australian Melaleuca bushland using the natural undulations of the area to best utlise the natural contours and enhance the course dynamics. The Championship Course is designed by Karl Litten and opened in 1992. Carved out of melaleuca swamps and bushland it is tight and dangerous. Karl Litten is rated as one of the top designers iin the world and he considers this championship course a gem. "It really has to be one of the top five world class courses i have ever designed and i have designed more than 100 of them over a 25 year period. I rank it in line with my course in Dubai (the first ever dessert golf course), two in Florida and one in Japan".
