Ocean Shores Country Club
Played On 04/12/2019Nice Greens
This course has 6 par 3's, 6 par 4's and 6 par 5's. It was built at a time when Australia didnt have any 'resort courses' (1972) and you can feel in the design that it is a very American style of golf course, where you have to flight the ball over water and/or over bunkers to get to the green. It is very close to the beach, which makes for that lovely coastal feel. The views from the clubhouse towards Byron Bay are exceptional, as are the views West to the hinterland. The golf course is difficult, particularly off the BLUE tees, and the course offers players a dozen new golf balls if they break their handicap from the Blue Tees....that is the last Friday of each month in their 'Blue Marker Challenge.' The Greens are HUGE and often rolling really really nicely at around 10-11 on the stimp.

I say Augusta because of the elevation changes. There are some absolutely stunning views and golf holes on this Vijay Singh designed course. Even though it is right on the bay, with views to the coral coast, reefs, waves and that perfect paradise-like setting, Vijay was clever enough to set up half a dozen holes on the hinterland side of the property. Also great holes. I really loved playing this course and Fiji in general.
