I think the dry conditions have hurt this course immensely. It is very easy to find. When driving between Toowoomba and Warwick it is right next to the highway.

The clubhouse shares itself with the local bowls club. You can just imagine the social atmosphere that is had here!

First hole is an immense par five with a highway on one side a river down the other and a green that is about 5 metres above the fairway. If you are on for three it was a great three.

Second hole a par four, one side the highway again and the other a hill down to the sixth hole. There is also a big hole in the fairway which you do not want to pitching out of. To a green which is perched on the edge of another really big hill. Not for the faint hearted.

The third is a par four, driveable but beware as about two metres past the hole is out of bounds. There is also the highway down the right.

The fourth is a par three!! Yay for a par three. A tricky par three that you do not mind being short of the green. If you go over the back there is that big hill again. If you miss to the right a big hole, which if your ball goes down there you don't even bother chasing it.

The fifth hole is an interesting one, teeing off of the hill makes the big hitters itchy, I have been known to be one of them. Be very careful, this green is reachable in one but hit the fairway in the wrong area and your ball could suddenly be sucked into the river on the right. Stay left!!

The next hole is the easiest one on the course and the safest. Get your driver out and hit it hard. Par four reachable in one a big hill behind that will bring your ball back to the green. Proud to say that I have eagled this hole!!

Next is a sneaky par three that is basically an island in the river. Miss the green and your in the drink. Some players say play short and chip on, I say go for it and get another ready just in case.

The eighth is the easiest par three, a wedge would just about pull you up on this hole. Nice little shot into the shade!!

The final hole is a monster par four, if you reach this green in two you hit two great shots. Down the middle of the fairway runs the creek, so aim left or right!! If you are right the second shot will have a few trees in front. If you are left your have to chip over a lot of trees to make it to the green. Overshoot the green and you could be in the creek again. You will be glad to finish this hole.

Dry weather makes this course hard as your balls will run further and most likely into trouble. When green the course is fun, but is still very challenging. If you have a spare moment and some spare balls have a go at it!
