Variety is key…

That is certainly the case with par-threes in terms of length, direction and design.

If a course has four par-3s, having 1-2 short holes, one long and the rest somewhere in between is an ideal mix in my opinion.

One of Australia’s iconic long par-threes is the 8th at Lake Karrinyup in Perth which stretches to 201 metres from the back tee.

In particular, Friday nights at the golf club provide a popular social outing with families coming together for dinner.

In 2024, the golf club was the recipient of $1.4 million in government grants which it has used to renovate its clubhouse, build a children’s playground and upgrade its irrigation system.

There are golf courses with gentle opening holes and there are golf courses with difficult opening holes.

The Metropolitan Golf Club on the Melbourne Sandbelt has the latter.

Well positioned fairway bunkers tempt longer hitters into cutting the corner which can lead to disaster.

If you find the fairway, you still need to navigate your way onto a green well protected by bunkers and a steep swale at the rear.
