The latest additions include one par five, and two par four holes, thus ending years of hard work carried out by mainly volunteer workers. This makes 2003 a 'year of excitement for members and visitors to test their skills on the new layout. The par five 14th hole is 455 metres in length, dog leg left with water carry and hazard to the left. The hole continues uphill to a large heavily bunkered green. The par four 15th hole is 352 metres, with elevated teeing area downhill to a large green with a bottleneck entry to the green, through water hazards on both sides and once again a heavily bunkered green. The par four 16th hole is 360 metres and should prove a very testing hole to the most skilled golfer. The green is virtually an island surrounded by water hazards. One will have to make the decision to lay up, or take the green on. Overall, the course is a credit to the hard work of all involved in the construction. It is now fully irrigated and the watering system automated. This should ensure that it is in pristine condition all year round. The course remains very picturesque with the new holes blending into the natural bush surroundings. The abundance of animal and bird life continues to provide an extra dimension of interest to players. THE CLUBHOUSE Well known for its friendly atmosphere, a warm welcome is offered to all visitors at Maclean. The clubhouse now has extended opening hours and with the availability of motorised buggies, pull buggies and club hire, all needs are catered for. WEEKLY COMPETITIONS Wednesday: ladies Thursday: 18 hole medley Saturday: Men TOURING POINTS Maclean is a town of considerable charm. Originally a port for shipping produce and timber, now its principal importance is prawn trawling and sugar cane farming. The town was named after a Surveyor General, Alistair Maclean, a highland Scot. It is now known as the Scottish town of Australia. A highland band gathering takes place at Easter each year, with many pipe bands competing and international artists performing. Maclean is a wonderful place to stay and test your skills on a very good golf course. A warm welcome is extended to all.
