He described the layout as a “links-style golf course”.

“The golf course is looking sensational and we can’t wait for it to open,” he said.

The new course will include several water features although most are well away from the centre of the fairways.

It’s been suggested the spectacular 18th hole, which features a carry over water to the green, will be the course’s feature hole.

“The views from the golf course are amazing, hence the reason we decided not to plant too many trees.

The clubhouse balcony, undoubtedly, will be a popular spot for players who have completed their rounds to offer commentary on the fortunes of those who follow.

The club’s 18-hole championship golf course will be the new home for Horton Park Golf Club members after the Sunshine Coast Council resumed the prime site in the heart of Maroochydore.

The Cut Golf Club Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Western Australia’s The Cut Golf Club is considered one of WA’s top courses. A mere three years after opening to rave reviews, The Cut was ranked WA’s no.1 public access course, and it has hosted numerous high-profile events, including the WA PGA Championships on the Australian PGA Tour and several WA PGA Pro-Ams including the Mandurah Toyota Invitational Pro-Am. Located adjacent to the Indian Ocean just south of the Dawesville Channel, The Cut Golf Club is a majestic piece of golf real estate with amazing ocean views on 12 of the links-style holes. The first four

holes alone offer golfers stunning views across the crystal blue waters of the Florida and Pyramids beaches, where you can often spot dolphins and whales in the midst of your round of golf.

But it’s best to keep your eyes off the ocean, and focus more on the highquality golf. A challenging course for all levels of golfer, The Cut features many risk/reward options throughout, and a variety of holes require careful course management—like playing hybrid or iron off the tee. One such hole is the 400-metre par-4 12th, the signature hole of the course. The smart play is hitting a low 4-iron off the tee, and letting the ball run downhill to the bottom of the valley.

This will leave you with a long uphill,

Inside Golf played the course following the redevelopment and we were impressed with its playability, challenge and scenic beauty.The couch fairways are generally wide and inviting, giving you plenty of opportunities to open up the shoulders and have a go at

a monster drive. But beware of the rough and strategically-placed obstacles along the way, from the tricky bunkers to the ball-grabbing wetlands and lakes (with a few strong-sloped fairways feeding right into danger). The undulating greens were in spectacular condition on our visit. We found them true, yet tricky enough to make them challenging, especially with the severe breaks in some hole locations.

And don’t forget about the stunning views. With plenty of glimpses of the surf in the distance, it is easy to become distracted by the beauty during your round.

New Cleveland hire equipment is available including a brand-new fleet of electric carts. Neat dress code is required and bookings essential.

Perfect Socks was started in 2011 by Sherrill Sibun, a life-long golfer who represented New Zealand in 1959.

Frustrated at not being able to buy woollen golf socks that would withstand 18 holes and keep her feet comfortable, she decided to make her own.

First they had to find the perfect yarn to use. It is a mixture of 70% Merino wool and 30% Cashmere. This provides all the benefits of a natural fibre that wicks away the moisture from the foot. The cashmere means the sock is super soft and most importantly, comfortable to wear.

The design of the socks includes the latest fine toe seam, arch support, cushioned sole and reinforced heel and toe.
