The Legends Course stands as a tribute to past champions who have contributed to the rich history of Australian golf.
In contrast to the Open Course, which was purpose built to challenge the modern champion, the Legends Course will be a more friendly golfing experience for players of all ages and abilities.
The course is a loop of 18 holes that generally follow the valleys through a variety of landscapes ranging from ancient Moonah woodlands to open links land. The fairways are generous and the putting surfaces gentle, but the bunkering style is bold and wild in appearance.
At 6,315 metres, the course should be fun, but it won’t be a pushover.

Played this course for the first time around two months ago and absoloutly loved every minute of it. even though I find it pretty steep to pay 75$ for a round of golf, i can certainly justify every cent playing this course. the fairways are like carpet, with few divots in sight, bunkers full of soft sand and deep and strategically placed, rough is punshing but doesnt kill you, and the greens well words cant describe them.there perfect.
the practice facilities there are world class and all the pro shop staff friendly but professional as you would expect.
Although the first tee is a long walk from the clubhouse, i think its possibly one of the best opening 4 holes on the peninsula. You really get a taste for what is to follow with a true risk reward stratergy on the first, needing around a 220m carry over bunkers to give yourself an eaggle chance.
The second is a very short par 4, but a well gaurded green prevents most for going for it in one. followed by a fantastic par 3 really needing thought about club selection to be precise.
My favourite hole on the course has to be the fourth, the elevated tee shot on the dogleg left to a perfect fairway with great bunkering followed by an exciting approach shot. magnificent.
Other highlights of the course are the 6th, 12th, 13th, 16th and 18th.
Our only other let down on the day was slow play ahead, which is to be epected really as this course is fantastic, in my opinion a really enjoyable course for everyone.
