Thu 21.11.2024 Cairns, Australia – Palmer Sea Reef Golf Club
This styled links course is set amidst tropical surroundings. A unique experience in nature paired with extremely wide and in part strongly modulated fairways. The Palmer Sea Reef adventure has a very special highlight: in the accompanying watercourses, saltwater crocodiles, which are considered aggressive, have found a habitat. Therefore, it is certainly advisable not to chase after lost balls in the wet areas, as attempting to rescue a ball could quickly lead to the game being abandoned.
Mon 25.11.2024 Brisbane, Australia – Royal Queensland Golf Club The quite original sandy terrain is a constant natural obstacle on the fairways of this course, meaning that one should definitely always have the sand wedges within reach on the wide fairways. However, those who are not afraid of a sandy terrain will most likely finish with a very positive result. The Sir Leo Hielscher Bridge should be mentioned as a special feature, as it not only crosses the adjacent Brisbane River, but also the golf course itself.
Wed 27.11.2024 Sydney, Australia – St. Michael’s Golf Club A round of golf between heaven and earth. The primarily straight fairways of this course are located on the sandy dune terrain directly on the coast of Little Bay. The fairways are neatly sized so that golfers always have a chance to continue playing as long as they remain on the holes. The dune bushes found around the fairways in places are the only factors that could be dangerous for your score. The original terrain is the basis for the course’s highly varied layout.
Sat 30.11.2024 Adelaide, Australia – Royal Adelaide Golf Club Once again, a royal golf course awaits: the Royal Adelaide is located directly in the city of Adelaide. On the wide fairways, you are occasionally surprised by man-high pot bunkers on the way to the target – these sand hazards, designed according to the British model, protect many a green in a rather massive way. Before the round, it is therefore advisable to use the warm-up time to get in the mood for this special type of sand hazard.
