When a leading international course architect describes a site as a "golf course waiting to happen", you know you can expect the best. And that's what Course Architect James Wilcher has delivered at Pacific Dunes. In addition to being surrounded by some of Australia’s most enticing scenery, Pacific Dunes combines a natural sandy base and rolling topography with temperate, year-round golfing weather - all set to create the perfect setting for a course to suit all golfers to a tee.

Winding through the natural undulations of the site, the championship Australia golf course comprises two distinct nine-holes. The outward nine is interwoven among natural lakes and wetlands, while the back nine meanders through shady Angophoras and Swamp Mahogany trees, an extension of the natural landscape.

Both nines play to a par of 36 with the typical championship configuration incorporating two par fives and two par threes on each nine. You won't be able to blame the wind on an off day, with the layout designed to ensure there's no predominant hole-orientation, regardless of wind direction.

Careful consideration of hazard placement, reduced potential for water carries and the integration of teeing options coupled with generous fairway widths make it a course with varying degrees of difficulty for golfers of every level.
