The Huntley
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the ideal time to play The Huntley for the best conditions?
We always recommend aiming for the shoulder seasons - late autumn (April-May) or early spring (September-October). You'll avoid the intense summer heat and humidity, and the course will be in prime condition with lush fairways and firm greens, offering the most enjoyable round.
What's the biggest challenge golfers face at The Huntley, and what makes it unique?
The Huntley's true test lies in its deceptive elevation changes and the strategic bunkering, especially around the par-3 7th. Don't let the seemingly open fairways fool you; precision off the tee is paramount to avoid the hidden gulleys and native scrub that gobble up errant shots.
Are there any specific holes at The Huntley that truly stand out or offer incredible views?
Absolutely, the back nine really shines, particularly the stretch from the 14th to the 16th. The par-5 15th, affectionately known as "The Ridge," offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the coastline, demanding a well-placed second shot to a plateaued green that feels like it's floating above the ocean.
What should I expect regarding green fees at The Huntley, and is it difficult to secure a tee time?
The Huntley is a premium experience, so expect green fees to be on the higher end, typically ranging from AUD$180-250 for visitors, depending on the season. We highly recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance, especially for weekend play, as it's a popular spot for both locals and international visitors.
What's the post-round vibe like at The Huntley, and do you have any local tips for after the game?
The clubhouse at The Huntley has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere - perfect for recounting your shots over a cold local brew. Don't miss their famous "Kangaroo Burger" on the patio; it's a unique culinary experience and the perfect way to cap off your round.
