Set against the Moresby Ranges within a Nature Reserve, the course stretches 5,871 metres and features lush, fully reticulated couch grass fairways that provide consistent playing surfaces.
The layout emphasizes accuracy from the tee, with tight, tree-lined fairways bordered by thick natural bush creating a challenging environment for golfers of varying skill levels.
