Course Structure and Features

Leura Golf Club is a shorter course than Australia's championship courses, with 18 holes, par 70, and a total length of approximately 5,372m (from the blue tees), but the Blue Mountain terrain and stunning scenery provide golfers with an enjoyable round.

• Course : Most of the holes are designed to cross hills and valleys, creating a variety of elevation changes and views of the forests and cliffs of the Blue Mountains.
• Fairway : Many holes are narrow and curved, requiring accurate tee shots, and there are many doglegs.
• Green : Small and fast, with slopes and flow that mirror the surrounding landscape, requiring an accurate short game.
• Difficulty : Although it is a short course, the fairway has many slopes and there are many trees around the hole, so it is a course that requires precise play. Especially on windy days, mistakes can continue even on short distances.
