At 6,181 yards, the Five Lakes Links course is slightly shorter than its sister course but don’t let that fool you into thinking it is much less of a challenge. There are some truly magnificent hazards to master, including water, bunkers, narrow fairways, fast and small greens.

To conquer these plush greens you must ensure your short game is up to scratch and the Links course provides a much different challenge to the Lakes course, testing precision to the limit and making accuracy critical to secure a low scoring round. Completed in 1975, the course has matured over the years and the club prides itself on having no winter tees.

Equally as important as Five Lakes resorts two courses is the fantastic golfing academy established there – something that sets the club apart from any other. There is also a full range of practice facilities including a driving range; short game area and three well kept practice putting greens.

The Sports Bar is also a superb venue to kick back and relax after your round.
