Sanctuary Cove Golf & Country Club (Pines course)

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 1987

Sanctuary Cove Golf & Country Club boasts two 18-hole championship courses: the typically higher-rated Arnold Palmer-designed Pines course, and the also well-regarded and shorter Palms course, which was designed by Ross Watson.

The Pines is carved through 101 hectares of established pine forest, and features corridor approaches to several holes, with lakes guarding others. Fourteen of the holes are contoured around six man-made lakes. An abundance of wildlife features on The Pines including rare bird life and scores of native Australian kangaroos.

Stay&Play at Sanctuary Cove: luxury onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.
