Course Overview

Corballis Links, fully open year-round, combines excellent presentation with a demanding par-66 layout, including Ron Kirby-designed coastal holes, offering members and visitors a challenging, unmissable pay-and-play links experience.

The Course

Hole 1

Par 3, 144 Yards

The opening par 3 at Corballis Links can be anything from a three iron to a pitching wedge depending on wind direction. A large, elevated green is protected by three deep bunkers; don’t leave it short.

Hole 2

Par 4, 249 Yards

A picturesque, driveable par 4 with a narrow fairway. Most lay up to the Plateau, though the brave and cavalier take on a blind tee-to-green shot to see if they can land it on in one. Stray shots can often lead to lost balls.

Hole 3

Par 4, 456 Yards

The longest par 4 on the course at 456 yards. A demanding tee shot with trouble both left and right all the way to the green, it requires two well struck shots to reach the long narrow green. A bogey could be a good score.

Hole 4

Par 3, 101 Yards

A slight downhill par 3 to a slightly undulating green. The green is well banked all around and heavily protected by large bunkers.

Hole 5

Par 4, 293 Yards

A well-placed tee shot is key to playing this tight par 4, leaving a relatively short approach to a tricky green. Deep bunkers protect the front of this green, so club selection is vital.

Hole 6

Par 3, 103 Yards

An excellent par 3, with a two-tier green surrounded by bunkers. Distance control is crucial on this hole.

Hole 7

Par 4, 260 Yards

A right to left dog-leg par 4 requires a well-positioned tee-shot. Extra club is advised to this elevated green, with a deep bunker guarding the approach.

Hole 8

Par 4, 367 Yards

A testing dog-leg right par 4 with water on the left. A long drive is required to carry the two fairway bunkers and open up the green. Careful not to miss this green left or right, five deep bunkers await.

Hole 9

Par 3, 169 Yards

A treacherous par 3 over water requires a well struck long iron to hit the middle of the green. With bunkers right and out of bounds long, this is a testing hole.

Hole 10

Par 3, 178 Yards

A straightforward par 3 with little trouble, the safe shot is left of centre as bunkers surround the back and right-hand side of the green.

Hole 11

Par 4, 253 Yards

Most will try and drive this short par 4, leaving a two-putt birdie or possible chance for eagle. All the trouble on this hole is right, safe tee-shot to lay-up short left, leaving a wedge to the centre green.

Hole 12

Par 5, 496 Yards

The only par 5 on the course, out of bounds is very much in play on the left for your tee shot. A blind second shot that avoids the fairway bunker will leave a good approach to a big green.

Hole 13

Par 3, 133 Yards

A superb par 3 where again, club selection is crucial. An elevated and sloping green, avoid being short or long as a very tricky shot will remain.

Hole 14

Par 4, 368 Yards

A wayward tee shot on this par 4 could end up on the beach lining the fairway right-hand side. Accuracy is key, both off the tee and to the shallow green. Take an extra club for your approach.

Hole 15

Par 4, 400 Yards

A tee shot played to the right-hand side of the fairway on this testing par 4 will leave a clear view to an undulating green. A slightly downhill shot makes the approach look shorter, so be sure to take plenty of club.

Hole 16

Par 4, 379 Yards

Out of bounds guards the right-hand side of this fairway, so play up the left off the tee to be safe. Be sure to check the pin placement, as short or long will leave a tricky putt on this two-tier green. A par 4 will be a good score.

Hole 17

Par 3, 134 Yards

Not a long Par 3, though once again accuracy is essential. With a green sloping right to left, an errant tee shot leaves a tough up and down.

Hole 18

Par 4, 321 Yards

A demanding tee shot on this tight par 4, with bunkers up the left and out of bounds to the right. An uphill approach requires an extra club aimed at centre green, left or right may run off into heavy rough. Finishing with a par is a good result.
