Measures 6013m Par 72 from the back plates where I played it from with 3 Par 3s ranging from 150-190m, 12 Par 4s ranging 240-390m and three Par 5s ranging from 455-525m. Course is well maintained with well-bunkered greens and a tree-lined parkland course layout.

Holes are quite similar in approach, not many options off the tee for such a renowned course in northern Tas. Front nine is somewhat boring with similar approaches to the par 4s, but the back nine is the course's best attribute. Holes require more test of golf and wit than the front nine.

Worthy holes of note are the 510m Par 5 10th with creek along length of fairway to green on the left with bunker left and right of green. The 320m Par 4 12th has a narrow driving area with dogleg right and green that runs into lake behind. The 157m 13th is over a gully with an elevated tee and green protected by 3 bunkers forming a U-shape around the oval shaped green.

Played here 23/7/06 and paid $50 visitor green fees on this overrated course by locals. Course could be planned with more variety of holes extra Par 3 and Par 5 would not hurt, but still remain a par 72, just needs more efficient planning.
