of the course, ensuring there are few even lies. There are favourable comparisons with Augusta National with respect to the steepness of some holes. The deep gully, only in front of the clubhouse, allowed the starting and finishing holes for each nine, to require a carry across the deep gully between trees to either a rising fairway for 1 and 10, or to greens close to the clubhouse for 9 and 18. The first hole is a par four, across the gully to an elevated tree-lined fairway with a slight dog-leg before undulations to an elevated green. The remaining front nine holes follow a sequence around the perimeter, making features of the trees and undulations, before the par three 9th hole crosses the deep gully from an elevated tee to a green cut from the rocky cliff on the other side. In 1927, the hole (then the 11th) was described as "hole is of the Spion Kop type, requiring a mashie shot over a creek, where again accuracy and distance must be attained to avoid severe penalties." The 10th par four again provides a carry across the deep gully from an elevated tee, between tall trees to a steadily rising fairway and an elevated green. The remaining back nine are tree lined, with four dog-leg holes either downhill or uphill, to mainly small greens protected by bunkers. The 15th is a feature hole of only par four, but from a very elevated tee, to a steep uphill tree lined fairway and small green, with heavy fairway and greenside bunkers. The hole was twice driven during the 1982 club championships match-play by Greg Wicks only to lose to a chip-in eagle in the first round by his opponent, the legendary Tony Gresham and halved in birdies in the second round. The par three 18th finishing hole is a long carry across the gully, through a narrow chute between tall eucalypts, to a steep fairway immediately below an elevated green. Early reports of the hole describe the 18th "between the tee and the green is a ‘great gulf’ ; an easy three or a bad twenty." Heritage listing In July 1994, the course was given heritage listing stating, "Golf course sited on undulating topography above Devlins Creek which runs through site. Conserving large stands of mature indigenous Eucalypts particularly Blackbutts, Bluegums and Stringybarks to between fairways. There are also indigenous trees around
