For the adept player, it’s a somewhat merciful initiation, which continues at the 280-metre par-four second. The green is hidden behind a sand dune left of the fairway, which dares players to drive close to the ocean on the right to afford the best angle to approach. The fourth - a 130-metre par-three - will undoubtedly become Ocean Dunes’ signature hole. It’s Australia’s answer to the short par-three 15th at Cypress Point and is played from a tee perched on a point, over a sandy cove and rocks to a very shallow yet very wide green. Golfers will be spellbound by the opening four holes at Ocean Dunes Golf Course, which sets the scene for a fantastic days golf. Like every hole at Ocean Dunes, it has at least four tees and can range from less than 140 to more than 200 metres so all level of golfer will enjoy a visit to this course. Ocean Dunes and Cape Wickham are banking on a constant flow of golfers, just like Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farm did when they started. Throw all four courses into a four-day trip and you’ll have a top golf destination and golf holiday almost without peer.
