Home at last, the back nine on Dent
ends with a punch. With the clubhouse in view, and Hamilton
Island and Whitsunday Island behind, the tee shot here
will fly forever.
With an elevation drop of some 40m from the Hoop Pine
tee to the landing area below, there is a lot that can
happen in that time. Read the wind and hope for a long
straight hit, as the ball will fly and run considerably
on this downhill monster.
The longest par 4 on the course, the two fairway bunkers
at 230 and 250m are well within range and may be flown
given the right wind conditions. From here a medium to
long iron is required with care taken to avoid the bunkers
short right and left of the large ceremonial green.
A short walk to the clubhouse for a drink and the inevitable
post mortems will close out a thrilling day.
