Not so Good aspect of Shortland Golf Course

• Some holes are quite hilly with dips & gullies,making hard work on your legs, if you’re pulling a golf-cart.

The 18-hole layout is par 71, 5937 metres for members and 5110 meters for ladies built on 64 hectares, enclosed with approximately 5000 trees and home to approx. 80 species of bird life.

It’s a good course for novices & pro’s alike,with some tricky holes dog-legging either left or right.It’s a par 71 course, consisting of “3” par 5’s,”11” par 4’s & “4” par 3’s.The par 3’s are straight forward, but be careful of the wind on the 1st of the par 3 holes,which usually has a cross wind blowing from left to right & the long par 3 15th hole, which goes across water with at times a strong head-wind to compete with.
