    Yup correct, there is plenty of water, you'll score better if you stay out of it, so best try to stay out of the water cause there is lots of it. Enjoy!.

    It's just Palmerstown now. The 'PGA' element has gone.

    Lots of water, lots of shape and four par fives that are the hardest holes on the course. They're all S-shaped and all have water.

    Top class course.

    Obviously the water is not your friend so stay clear of it!
    I've played there a few times recently and really enjoyed it. Like most good courses you get punished for getting out of position so hitting fairways is crucial to low scoring as is not short siding yourself into one of the many greenside bunkers.

    As Kevin said the par 5's are all tough with the 14th being the standout for me with water pretty much all of the way down the left and lots of bunkers protecting a really tricky green. If the pin is front/left you'll have to play at least one really good shot to make a 4 or 5.

    A real bonus is that the food there is great and I'm always made to feel welcome. This is another Nama owned course and I really hope it survives.
