Nicklaus’ course offers a smattering of typical Golden Bear design work – majestic bunkering and a strategic use of the natural rolling landscape – with some unique features. The front nine is a great introduction and it is advised you follow the recommendation of resident pro and Australian PGA member, Adrian Lawson.
“We advise anyone going out that, for their own enjoyment, they play from the tees suited to their game. There are five to choose from and unless you play off six or less, forget about the Black championship tees,” he said. from Golf Australia July 2001 The Woodlands layout was one of Baker-Finch’s first projects as a course designer and it is easy to see he had a flair for the job from the start. Designed with nine holes snaking out from the resort and nine back, the Woodlands course has been laid over dramatically changing terrain, while many of the greens are surrounded by steep slopes and mounds to create an amphitheatre effect. These design characteristics make this course one you won’t easily forget. from Golf Australia July 2001
