Frequently Asked Questions

What's the signature challenge at Arthur Hills, and is it suitable for higher handicaps?

The course truly shines with its demanding green complexes and the strategic bunkering that frames nearly every approach. While playable for all, higher handicappers might find the forced carries over marshland on holes 7 and 14 particularly intimidating; we recommend playing a tee box forward to enjoy the experience more.

When is the best time of year to play Arthur Hills for optimal conditions and fewer crowds?

We always recommend visiting in late spring or early fall - think April-May or September-October - when the weather is glorious and the course is in peak condition. You'll avoid the summer humidity and the peak tourist rush, making for a much more relaxed round.

What should I expect regarding green fees and value for money at Arthur Hills?

Expect green fees to be on the higher side, typically ranging from $150-$250 depending on the season and time of day. However, the immaculate conditioning, thoughtful design, and stunning marsh views make it a truly worthwhile splurge for a memorable round.

Are there any specific holes or features at Arthur Hills that truly stand out?

Absolutely, the par-3 12th, playing over a tidal creek to a well-guarded green, is a true stunner and a fantastic photo opportunity. Also, keep an eye out for the unique double-fairway option on the par-5 5th, offering a risk-reward decision right off the tee.

What's the pace of play like at Arthur Hills, and do you have any tips for a smooth round?

Pace of play is generally well-managed, with rounds typically finishing in about four and a half hours, thanks to attentive marshals. To ensure a smooth experience, we suggest arriving at least 45 minutes before your tee time to utilize the excellent practice facilities and get a feel for the greens.
