Fairways
Average width, plenty of movement in designs.
Rough
Semi-rough : 15mm height, 1.5m wide
Maintained rough : 40mm

Large, firm greens, with lots of undulations - need to be accurate with approach shots otherwise there could be lots of 3-putts.
Stimpmeter on January 29 : 11 feet
Course
Not a lot of run on the ball at present, but a change of wind direction would affect that.
The course is not particularly long, so driver won't be used that often. If you miss the fairway, you can be unplayable in heavy scrub very quickly, with the only option being to go back to the tee.
There is water in play on 5 holes, all of them on the back 9.
General hazard - tiger snakes! - deadly and very fast.
