Hole 1
Black
Par 3 – 157 metres
Orange
Par 3 – 146 metres
Mid length downhill par 3 with out of bounds both left and right so accuracy is required. Bunker short & left to protect left OOB. Bunker right at green to protect going long. A green with many slopes and tiers so it is important to land on the same level as the pin position.
Hole 2
Black
Par 3 – 182 metres
Orange
Par 3 – 162 metres
Straight shot over the dam required, bunkers to the left, out-of-bounds to the right of the dam from the 2nd Tee. Take sufficient club to ensure you cover the dam, however, over the back of the green is trouble. The green is a challenge and any putt from below the hole is preferred
Hole 3
Black
Par 3 – 146 metres
Orange

Difficult hole with water on the right and left and three bunkers to trap an errant shot. Golfers should avoid playing when there are players on the 2nd Tee. Green slopes left to right towards the water

The Northbridge Golf Club’s Signature Hole
The signature hole of Northbridge, a small green targeted from an elevated tee. Left is a bunker and right and the rear of the green is a challenge. Avoid over clubbing, better to play short. The white disc at the rear of the green is your point of alignment. Sighting a wayward ball is difficult from the tee
Hole 6
Black
Par 3 – 190 metres
Orange
Par 3 – 178 metres

Hole 7
Black
Par 4 – 245 metres
Orange
Par 4 – 233 metres

Black
Par 4 – 240 metres
Orange
Par 4 – 231 metres
With two bunkers protecting the front of the green only the most accurate will find success from the tee. Play short from the tee and leave a straightforward second to the green. Avoid playing too long as anything behind the green will provide a challenge
Hole 9
Black
Par 4 – 272 metres
Orange

Par 4 – 343 metres
Orange
Par 4 – 328 metres
