HOLE 10
Existing Par 4 350m
Proposed Par 4 350m
EXISTING HOLE DESCRIPTION
The 10th tees are some distance from the clubhouse and the hole plays towards the south from tees to the west of the 18th fairway
and green. The hole is a mid-length par 4 that doglegs to the left around a broad hill on top of which is located the maintenance
facility. The hole corridor is quite spacious and a fairway bunker defines the left side, set into the base of the hill. The first part of
the fairway has a billabong bordering the right side, but it is set well back from the fairway with intervening trees and does not come
overtly into play. The green is tucked away to the left around the hill and is guarded by a pair of bunkers left and one right. A good
hole that can be improved with subtle measures.
STRENGTHS
+ Interesting terrain played over and around.
+ Well vegetated and broad hole corridor
+ Attractive green site.
WEAKNESSES
+
+
+
+
Maintenance centre and vehicles are quite visible at the left of this hole and require improved screening.
Fairway bunker could be more visible and dramatic. The bunker is also separated from the fairway by a wide border of rough.
Greenside bunkering is quite bland.
Right side vegetation adjacent to 11th tee is quite penal and dense, but understandable given its protective role.

Remodel fairway bunker to improve visibility and challenge.
Cut fairway closer to fairway bunker.
Plant occasional native tussocks under existing trees along left side of fairway.
Introduce screen planting to disguise presence of Maintenance facility.
Construct new fairway bunker approximately 30-40 metres short of green closer to the left side of the fairway. Bunker serves
to deceive depth perception and add visual interest to the approach. For shorter hitters it will be a hazard to negotiate with their
second and third strokes.
+ Remodel greenside bunkers and surrounds.
+ Naturalise carry between tee and start of fairway with occasional planting of native tussocks.
TH R EATS
+ No apparent threats.
