The par 71 course measures 5947m off the blue tees (slope 123), 5561m off the standard men’s tees (slope 121), 5000m of the women’s tees (slope 122) and 3843m off the junior tee' (slope 94). For those lower handicapped women looking for an even greater challenge, we have also rated the men’s tees for women.
The 349m, par 4 first is the signature hole with a good, straight drive. Important if you want a chance of starting your round with a par. The views towards Mercury Bay are sensational, no matter what the weather.
Holes three to eight have water features, as does the 17th while all except the 12th and 16th holes have out of bounds.
The course is open all year round, so if you want to play one of New Zealand’s best kept golfing secrets “Come play The Dunes”.
