7th hole Course Guide No 4: Par 4 – Mens: 336 m. Ladies: 300 m The fourth is a shorter par four that only requires a fairway wood or long iron off the tee – accuracy again required rather than distance. 4th hole No 5: Par 5 – Mens: 505 m. Ladies: 385 m Hole five is a long and challenging par 5 just on 510 metres with a dog leg you’ll only have to worry about on your second shot (as it’s too far away to concern your drive). If you can get a drive safely away and bend your second with a favourable draw, you’ll still need a fair iron into the green. The dance floor is tiny for such a long hole so you’ll need to be spot on. Remember that the front of the green runs steeply back to front so be up at the pin. No 6: Par 3 – Mens: 177 m. Ladies: 158 m Six is a long par 3 well protected on both sides by bunkers. It’s also open to the elements being set on the side of the hill so take the wind into account. Depending on the wind I’m sure there could be a wide range of clubs used on this hole. Can be a very challenging par 3. It is a large tiered green so check the pin placement before finally selecting your club. 5th hole No 7: Par 4 – Mens: 310 m. Ladies: 299 m The seventh is a lovely short par four, water at 200 metres on both sides of the fairway leaving a narrow landing area. Once negotiated the party isn’t over with more water beckoning your ball on the left of the green with a bank on that side sliding towards the wet stuff. To add further insult to injury, the green has a few subtle breaks that may leave you bemused. 8 www.mvgc.com.au 6th hole
