An epic hole that marks the halfway point – the 9th is a strategic short par three with a heavily guarded green. Set at the highest point on the course, it is exposed to winds that can dramatically influence ball flight — even when conditions feel calm on the sheltered tee.

The 489m Par 5 10th is a masterclass in strategy—rewarding precision and boldness, but punishing misdirected tee shots. When played well, it’s a rewarding three-shot par 5; when out of position off the tee, par can be a stern test and bogey, an acceptable result for most.

The heathland that borders our routing is a distinctive feature of Commonwealth. They shape play, punishing wayward shots while still allowing recovery options. As spring arrives, wildflowers begin to bloom, adding colour and texture to the roughs and surrounds.

Nearly four years ago, we line-planted Santa Ana into the fairways. More recently, we’ve seen encouraging signs it’s beginning to dominate the surfaces. As the days grow longer and the weather warms, we’re hopeful for another superb summer to help the Santa Ana truly flourish.

Firm, fast and incredibly fun. Our renovated greens are planted with a premium bentgrass variety called ‘Pure Distinction’. Renowned for its smooth, true ball roll, ‘Pure’ feels like the perfect descriptor. How have you found the new greens?”

Quality and consistency—two priorities as we move into the growing season. Behind our Pure Distinction surfaces is the meticulous work of mechanic, Adam Thompson, who sharpens every blade to exacting standards and calibrates cutting height accurate to within 0.1mm.

Feeling adventurous? Trying to reach the green in two on the 373m Par-4 8th will get your adrenaline pumping. Our advice: pack your sand wedge—just in case. @GaryLisbonGolf

Renaissance Golf’s redesign, saw the front of the 16th green softened, allowing for a front pin position. Trees north of the lake were removed and finally, sand splash was removed from the bunker lip, making the green a little approachable.

During our course redesign, @RenaissanceGolfDesign widened the fairway on the long par-5 2nd to offer some grace off the tee. But beware—the mid-way bunker demands plenty on the driver, or at the least, to hit it straight down the middle for an optimal second shot.

The “tilt”. Described by Brian Slawnik from Renaissance Golf Design as the “greatest strength of our greens”, it's ever-so-present on the 17th Hole where an approach from the best side of the fairway is a must. Image: @david_scaletti_photography
