Measures 2799m Par 36 with two par 3s ranging from 130-171m, five par 4s ranging from 267-351m and two par 5s ranging from 433-451m.

Course has couch grass fairways and teebeds which are mostly dry with dirt patches. The smallish couch grass greens play quite slow. There is a short-medium sized tree-lined fairway layout with a dew gentle doglegs and blind teeshots. The rough is mostly red dirt and weeds under the treeline and there are no bunkers on the course.

1st-351m / 10th-369m straight hole with a blind teeshot over a crest to a small and narrow green nestled between a sandy crater with small shrubs on the left and trees on the right
2nd-344m / 11th-323m straight hole with OOB orchard (mandarin trees) along the leftside with a right-sloping fairway to a right-sloping green
3rd-267m / 12th-249m short par 4 slight dogleg right hole
4th-433m Par 5 / 13th-385m Par 4 which doglegs 60 degrees to the right from 240m off the tee
5th-326m / 14th-297m slight bend left with a blind teeshot over a crest with the green near the road intersection
6th-326m / 15th-334m straight hole with a teeshot over a crest
7th-171m / 16th-150m with an uphill teeshot
8th-451m / 17th-478m dogleg left with some thick trees along the rightside
9th-130m / 18th-147m gentle downhill teeshot to a medium-sized couch grass green

There are alternate tee mounds within 50m of either the front or back nines which change the par of only the 4th /13th hole. All other tee mounds are close to each other without a change in the hole’s par or angle to the green. To play 18 holes the course measures 5531m Par 71.

Some good holes like the opening 2 holes and 6th and 7th with up to 6 flags not visible from the tee mound which adds to its challenge. Not too bad for a village of around 250 people which is on the eastern side of the Murray River.

Played here 3rd October 2011 with $15 green fees. Course access is about 1km south from the ferry punt crossing along Nildottie Road.
