Course: Rated 97 in the top 100 golf courses in Australia is everyone’s challenge or to some their nightmare. Golfers are attracted to the challenge and hype and if not careful can soon become unstuck in their desire to conquer the Hilltop course. Carved out of native bushland that looks out over the mountains and sea, it has lush fairways, some heavily timbered and with the meandering Blackwater Creek not far away for those stray shots. It is a pretty course featuring water challenges from creeks and dams with some excellent tee placements. Greens are large, undulating and generally fast with moderate bunkering.
Licensed Club house: The club house and professionals office are positioned on the ‘Hilltop’ with the club open for drinks after a game or for a light lunch.
Events:
Tuesday mornings is set aside for the ladies competition.
