Are there any specific holes or unique features at Northcote Public Golf Course that I should look out for?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 5th hole; it's a bit of a gem with a tricky green that slopes away on the left. Also, the course layout cleverly uses the natural contours of the land, so you'll encounter some interesting elevation changes that add character to your round. It's more engaging than many flat public courses.
