Ocean Dunes starts with four ocean holes that completely blow you away! Thereafter the course turns inland, but the quality of holes does not diminish. Each hole has its own surprises, and has you on your toes with anticipation. The holes move through the huge dunescape offering variety and perfectly complementing the ocean holes.

King Island Golf & Bowling Club is a nine hole course on rolling linksland near the town of Currie. In recent years it has gained acclaim as one of the best nine hole course in the world.
Whilst not in the class of the two new courses, the nine holer occupies classic links land and would provide an excellent warm up round to the main event.
