| The Forest Resort Golf Course is a triumphant collaboration between internationally-renowned golf course architect, Tony Cashmore and Australian PGA Professional Robert Allenby. The shared vision has resulted in a course of forest framed greens, fairways set in cathedral-like passages, sweeping slopes and cooling creek systems invoking the unique Forest experience. The international-class course will be of championship length from the back tees, running 6300 metres with each nine having two par-5 holes and two par-3 holes. The course design has allowed for the natural flow of land to determine the course routing wherever possible using all available ground elements – ridges, swales, spurs and trees to create golf course holes with individuality, visual beauty and strategic flexibility.
In addition, amid the scenic beauty of the course surroundings, is a generous practice fairway and other training areas.
