Hi Jackson,
My plan is to finalise the last details of the course layout this weekend and start announcing it from next week.
Plan is for MPO, MA1, MP40 to play a course (gold tees) approximately Par 61, even par rated about 930 I expect.
All other divisions will play maroon tees approx Par 61 too, even par rated about 890 I expect.
Maroon and Gold will likely share 15/18 tees at this stage.
I have uploaded a few photos of the venue to give a feel of the course - about 9 holes have significant elevation change at play. Sometimes you'll be allowed to let rip, sometimes the shot required will be very technical.
Hope that helps,
Andrew Fleming - Co TD
Scott Brooker Feb 13Hi Andrew, just checking in about the caddy book, as a new course it would be great to have a bit of time to study it in advance if possible. Thanks for all your efforts.

Hi Scott, I have uploaded the course and hole maps document for you just now, downloadable from About page.
Hard to tell from just a 2D map so what I will say is: H1 Downhill, H2 Uphill, H3 Downhill, H7 Slightly Downhill, H8 Across valley and slightly uphill, H10 Very Downhill and then Very Uphill, H15 Slightly downhill, H16 Downhill, H17 Uphill. Others relatively flat.
Downhill means approx. plays 10m shorter per 50m. Slightly downhill means 5m shorter per 50m. And vice versa for uphill/slightly uphill. H10 a little big more elevation change. Hope that helps the prep. Very diligent!
