Stepping up to the first tee at Hole 1, you’re greeted by a cleverly designed Par 4 stretching 327 metres (358 yards) for the gents and a respectable 277 metres (303 yards) for the ladies. This hole, with a stroke index of 13, offers a bit more forgiveness, making it a gentle handshake to start your round. The fairway, however, isn’t without its challenges, boasting strategic bunkers on both flanks and a sneaky dogleg in the centre that’ll have you second-guessing your club selection. Approach shots demand precision, with twin bunkers guarding the green like sentinels, ready to punish the overly ambitious. It’s a hole where strategy trumps brute force, inviting players to think their way through to a potential birdie or a comfortable par, setting the tone for the day. In true Aussie fashion, it’s not about muscle but mateship with your irons and woods.

Werribee Park Hole 2 – Par 4

Index: 11

Lengths: Men: 354 metres, Women: 295 metres

As you step up to the tee on Hole 2, a Par 4 stretching 354 metres (387 yards) for the gents and a more forgiving 295 metres (322 yards) for the ladies, you’ll want to keep your wits about you. With a stroke index of 11, it’s neither the toughest test on the course nor a walk in the park. The fairway makes a sly bend at the centre, a classic dogleg that tempts the bold and punishes the reckless. Strategic thinking starts from the tee shot here; aim too greedy and those twin fairway bunkers on the left will be waiting to gobble up your ball. Make it past the bend, and you’re not out of the woods yet—quite literally, if it were that kind of course. Both left and right of the green, bunkers lie in wait, keen to see more action than a beach on a hot summer day. Choose your approaches wisely, or you might just find yourself digging more than playing.

Werribee Park Hole 3 – Par 3

Index: 17

Lengths: Men: 163 metres, Women: 158 metres

Stretching out 163m (178y) for the blokes and a nifty 158m (173y) for the ladies, this hole is a bit of a breather with its Stroke Index of 17 suggesting fewer headaches than most. But don’t let your guard down just yet; with a bunker guarding each flank of the green, precision is key. Stray too far left or right and you’ll find your ball beaching itself in sandy graves that see more footprints than a beachside promenade. The real game here is about choosing the right club and mastering the wind. Nail that, and you might just walk off with a birdie, or better yet, give your mates something to grumble about back at the clubhouse.

On your approach, keep an eye on the green bunker lurking on the left, ready to welcome your ball like a mate who owes you a drink. Overall, this hole is about precision and choices, with just enough challenge to keep you on your toes and enough reward to make you feel like a champ.

The fairway throws a sneaky dogleg centre at you, tempting the brave to cut the corner, but beware—overconfidence here can cost more than a few strokes. Guarding the green like twin sentinels are bunkers on either flank, catching more wayward approaches than the bar catches patrons after a long day. A strategic mind and steady hand will serve you well here; overzealous swingers be warned, this hole isn’t for the faint of heart.

The approach is no stroll in the park either, guarded by a trio of bunkers — left, centre, and right — making the green look more fortified than a castle. Precision is key; landing in any of these sandy beasts could turn your birdie dreams into a bogey reality quicker than you can say “fore!” For the blokes, it’s a solid drive and a sharp second shot to the green, while the women tackle it from 321m (351y), still needing their A-game to navigate this challenging bend.

Index: 14

Lengths: Men: 175 metres, Women: 146 metres

Stretching 175m (191y) from the men’s tee and 146m (160y) for the women, this short delve is flanked by a pair of crafty bunkers, one on each side of the green, ready to snag the overly confident or the slightly wayward shot. With a stroke index of 14, it’s not the toughest on the card, but it demands respect and a sharpshooting approach. Those sand traps are like magnets for the unprepared, and they see more footprints than a Bondi beach during summer. The key here? Precision over power, aim true, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll walk off with a par and leave the beach gear for the bunkers to sport.

The twin sentinels, bunkers flanking the green left and right, are as inviting as a shark at a surf meet, ready to punish the overly ambitious or the faint-hearted chip.

This one’s got a bit of a twist with a sly dogleg right in the centre, tempting you to cut the corner if you’re feeling bold.

Werribee Park Hole 11 – Par 5

Index: 11

With a stroke index of 11, it might trick you into thinking it’s an easy ride, but don’t let that fool you. The layout here is straightforward but demands strategic play. What it lacks in dramatic features, it makes up with a test of your true golfing grit. It’s all about placement and power — overcook your drive and you’re flirting with a score that’ll have you buying the next round. Play it smart, and you might just walk away with a birdie up your sleeve, ready to brag about it as you stroll to the 12th.

The fairway throws a classic dogleg at you right in the centre, making your tee shot a crucial bit of strategy.

Strategy here is king; choose your clubs wisely and respect the layout, or this hole will remind you why it’s top of the leaderboard in difficulty.

Werribee Park Hole 15 – Par 3

Index: 4

Lengths: Men: 130 metres, Women: 120 metres

Hole 15 might fool you with its modest length, at 130 metres (142 yards) from the men’s tee and 120 metres (131 yards) from the women’s, but don’t let that lull you into complacency.

The bunkers are as strategically placed as chess pieces, with the left one catching more balls than a seasoned wicketkeeper. It’s a true test of accuracy, where overshooting the green could land you in a spot as tricky as explaining a double bogey to your mates.

Index: 6

Lengths: Men: 533 metres, Women: 419 metres

This par-5 is a strategic masterpiece, boasting a stroke index of 6 that should keep you on your toes. The layout throws a bit of a curveball with a dogleg right at the centre, tempting players to cut the corner, but beware—precision is key. You’ll want to avoid the twin sentinels—bunkers on either side of the green—that have caught more than their fair share of stray shots. It’s a hole that rewards the bold but respects the thinker, offering multiple routes to the pin but no easy passes. Whether you’re swinging big or plotting meticulously, Hole 16 is a prime spot for drama as the round nears its climax.

Werribee Park Hole 17 – Par 3

Index: 14

Lengths: Men: 189 metres, Women: 156 metres

Hole 17, a par 3 measuring 189m (207y) for the gents and 156m (171y) for the ladies, offers a puzzling challenge as it’s sneaky rather than fearsome, despite its lower stroke index of 14. The real game here is about precision and handling pressure. Flanked by bunkers on both sides of the green, this hole can be a bit of a heartbreaker if your tee shot strays. Aim true and you might just find yourself with a decent birdie opportunity. But get it wrong, and you’ll be reaching for your sand wedge faster than you can say “down under.” This hole is a true test of your short game, making it a memorable penultimate challenge as you near the clubhouse. So, keep your wits about you and maybe, just maybe, you’ll walk off this green with a grin.

It’s a bit of a thinker, this one, thanks to a cheeky dogleg right in the centre that’ll test your nerve and strategy. Water hazards lurk menacingly down the left, eager to swallow any wayward shots, so keeping it right is the go. But don’t get too cozy over there; dual fairway bunkers on the left and a pair of greenside sentinels—one on each flank—ensure there’s no easy ride to the green. With a stroke index of 8, it’s hardly a walk in the park, but nail this hole, and you’ll stride to the 19th hole with your chest puffed out a bit, ready to recount the battle, with perhaps an embellished tale or two of that daring drive or the clutch putt that sealed a solid round.
