Hole 1
Men’s
Par 3 – 157 metres – Stroke Index 11/30
Ladies
Par 3 – 146 metres – Stroke Index 8/33/51
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
Men’s
Par 3 – 180 metres – Stroke Index 4/26
Ladies
Par 3 – 144 metres – Stroke Index 13/24/39
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
Men’s
Par 3 – 165 metres – Stroke Index 9/28
Ladies
Par 3 – 144 metres – Stroke Index 9/26/46
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.

Ladies
Par 4 – 261 metres – Stroke Index 10/32/47

Ladies
Par 3 – 133 metres – Stroke Index 14/29/48
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
Men’s
Par 3 – 194 metres – Stroke Index 2/23
Ladies
Par 3 – 155 metres – Stroke Index 11/31/50

Hole 7
Men’s
Par 4 – 248 metres – Stroke Index 16/32
Ladies
Par 4 – 248 metres – Stroke Index 14/29/48

Hole 8
Men’s
Par 4 – 243 metres – Stroke Index 15/31
Ladies
Par 4 – 243 metres – Stroke Index 12/28/45
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
Men’s
Par 4 – 272 metres – Stroke Index 12/27
Ladies
Par 4 – 272 metres – Stroke Index 7/27/44
A good tee shot to the plateau should leave a 100m second to the green. Any wayward shot to the right may be out-of-bounds and to the left may find the trees bordering the fairway or worse

Par 4 – 345 metres – Stroke Index 5/19
Ladies
Par 4 – 345 metres – Stroke Index 1/19/38
A scenic dog-leg right, which may entice the long hitter to cut the corner, this line will risk going out-of-bounds. Play to the centre of the fairway will open the green. Left to right sloping green, below the hole for any putt is preferred. Bunker below the green on the right.
