	The 5th
	The second of the Par 5’s on the front nine. Players will take on the fairway cross-bunkers for their drives to open up a reachable second shot to an elevated and well-bunkered green. This hole will give players opportunity but many will walk off the green with a Par 5. View Category

The 8th

An exciting Par 4 which will offer many a birdie try. The eight hole is a short dogleg right, bunkers on both sides of the fairway for tee shots, out of bounds left and a snaking creek winding down the entire right side of the hole from tee to green.

A deft pitch will be required onto the elevated green, which is surrounded with bunkers. View Category

The 9th

A cleverly designed Par 4 dogleg to the right. A creek and pond run down the right side of this fairway as well as a stream running across the fairway 250 meters from the tee and a lake protects the entire left side of the fairway. Players will have to make the decision to either lay up their tee shots short of the cross-creek or risk a big drive over the creek to a small fairway target flanked by trees. View Category

The 10th

A challenging dogleg left Par 4 starts the back nine. An accurate tee shot is a must with three fairway bunkers catching any loose shots right and a lake along the left is sure to catch many a victim. Once the players have successfully teed off a sloping non-bunkered green awaits. Those unlucky to miss the green right may find their ball in a watery grave with a pond beside the green ready to swallow the ball up. View Category

	The 11th
	The shortest hole on the course, a Par 3 141 meters long. Bunkers right and left, an impeding tall tree short and right distracting players line play specially when the breeze is blowing. The holes length is defended by its green slopes, players will be putt to the test to hole putts here. View Category

The 12th

An exciting short Par 4 dogleg left. Players will have many options to take advantage of the beautiful tee shot. A large lake defends the entire left side of the hole, watch out for the tongue of water inside the dogleg catching tee shots that players cannot see from the tee. Another hidden lake beyond the dogleg through the fairway will also catch any tee shots fired right and long. An elevated green, bunkers right and a deep bunker mouth waits at the front. This green also defends the holes length with many sloped and deception for the players who cannot see the surface for their approaches. View Category

The 13th

This shortish par 4 offers a birdie opportunity. Off the tee players will tackle the tight drivig line from the tee with out of bounds running down the left and right sides of the fairway. An approach will need to be hit high and with some shape from right to left to the green tucked to the left with out of bounds waiting to penalise any approach hit too far left or long. Bunkers front, left and back right protect the elevated green as well as a banked apron to knock back and short approach View Category

	The 14th
	A long strong Par 4 dogleg left. Players will drive through a heavily wooded shoot to the dogleg with bunkers left and right. A long approach remains to a long narrow green with bunkers and mounds protecting the surrounds. Par will be a good score. View Category

The 15th

An exciting short Par 4 with danger surrounding players. Two lakes are running down the left of the fairway, a pond on the right with a creek connecting them both across the fairway 230 meters from the tee. Most players will play conservatively and lay up but watch for the monster hitters who will launch their giant drives 260 meters to carry the cross-creek with the potential of driving the green. View Category

	The 16th
	A strong long Par 4 dogleg right, out of bounds left, a lake on the right which players will skirt with their drives. A large fairway target awaits a sound tee shot down the left side with an approach to a long yet tricky green. Club selection is crucial for players on this hole as well as accuracy otherwise they will face a delicate recovery from the surrounding swales and bunkers. View Category

	The 17th
	A spectacular water carry Par 3 of 187 meters. Spectators can position themselves for a most entertaining day on this hole alone during the QLD Masters. With every meter water carry from tee to green, and an L-shaped green this hole will either make or break the players. A correctly selected club to this target is crucial, especially when the wind picks up. View Category

The 18th

A dramatic hole to close out the round. A Par 5 dogleg right, length is the key off the tee to gives players a chance to hit the green in two. A large lake protects the entire approach to the green on the right side and will intimidate players. Bunkers and mounds left of the green will be the target steering clear of the danger. Another hole where spectators will witness all the drama particularly Sunday afternoon's final round. See you there! View Category
