Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Canewood Golf Course unique, and is it a tough track?

You'll find the back nine demands precision, particularly on the par-4 12th where a creek cuts across the landing zone, making club selection crucial.

Absolutely, the par-3 7th is a beauty, playing downhill to a well-guarded green with a stunning backdrop of mature oaks - it's a real postcard moment. Then there's the challenging par-5 18th, a true risk-reward finisher where a good drive can set up a chance to go for the green in two, but water lurks right.
