Measures 5915m Par 71 with five par 3s ranging from 123-207m, nine par 4s ranging from 280-403m and four par 5s ranging from 442-485m.

On at least 8 holes you have to walk back to the next tee mound which makes this layout a little boring. There are 18 black soil scrapes with mostly black dirt with patches of grass on the small tee mounds. There are dry natural grass fairways with no bunkers.

Some challenging long par 3s here with mostly straightish wide fairways. The 376m straight 6th (index 4) with the dry water hazard along the entire rightside is a good hole. The back nine is a little boring with the up-and-back stretch of holes 13-17 having the same approach. Basic golf facilities here. Fees are $3

Really nice country course. greens niceky trimmed (au natural style by livestock). fairways divided by large to medium stands of pines and gums. fairways long and curving, with come interesting doglegs. mostly falt with only three of the 18 holes situated on the side of a gentle slope. with a small shallow creek making a nice challenge on a couple of holes and ball washing facilities situated at most tees,. this is a great course for a relaxing afternoons golfing and at $3 is tremendous value.
