10th Hole – Marshland – Par 3
2nd Hole – Te Moa Par 3
Men: 151m – Stroke 9
Women: 103m – Stroke 17
Takes its name not from the wet area between tee and green but from Shirley Marsh, a stalwart in the early days who did heaps to enhance the creek-side slopes.
Playing Notes
Its high stroke number belies a hole which can be tricky. A short tee shot will not run up onto the green, trees to the right and left snare wayward shots and there’s not much room behind the green before a ball runs into trees. [A local rule allows a provisional ball to be played when there’s doubt as to whether it might be lost in the hazard]
