Layout:
1st:
Par 3
Length 215 m
Members index 1/19
Associates index 18
No easy start here at Marrickville, 215 metre Par 3. A small target but your ball will role up onto the green. Short of the green is the best place to be for an easy chip up the full length of the green.
     
2nd:
Par 3
Length 219 m
Members index 2/21
Associates index 17
Out of bounds to the right. This is a straight forward hole. Once again being short of the green will give you your best chance to chip and putt for your par.
     
3rd:
Par 3
Length 143 m

Large undulating green. Make sure you take enough club to clear front bunker. Keep an eye on the wind as it swirls around and affects your shot.
     
4th:
Par 4
Length 264 m
Members index 17/25
Associates index 5
First of our Par 4's, New green and surrounds. Best to be a little left off the centre to give you the best angle to attack any pin position. Two tier green so it is important to put your ball on the same level as the pin.
     
5th:
Par 3
Length 187 m
Members index 6/29
Associates index 10
Out of bounds to the left. Difficult hole to judge your club selection. Ball will release down the hill onto the green so you are not required to fly this ball onto the green. Best chance for a chip and putt is short or to the right of the green.
     
6th:
Par 4
Length 264m
Members index 15/23
Associates index 3

Par 4 with fairway bunker 200m out from the tee. Out of bounds over the back of the green.

Length 158 m
Members index 11/32
Associates index 13

Signature hole on the course. Out of bounds right. Difficult driving hole, so take a club you know you can hit well. Aim a little left of the green for your second shot. Beware going over the green or to the right.

Short finishing hole but a beauty. Don't go left or over the green. Wind can really effect your tee shot. Aim a little right off centre off the green.
