Rich River Golf Club Resort offers some of the best golf in the country! Our two award winning 18 hole champion golf courses have developed over the years to become one of regional Australia's premier golfing venues. The par 72 West Course has traditional tree lined fairways with small tricky greens and takes the serious golfer on a 6,183m journey. The par 72 East Course was redesigned by Peter Thompson in 1998 and features large greens, wide fairways, Thompson signature bunkers and covers 6,131m. Both courses provide outstanding challenges for all players.

 

 

 

Direction and Distance  - Start by throwing a golf ball out at about 20 to 25 metres away. It will land and roll on a little. Hitting with your club, aim the next golf ball so it lands where the first ball came to rest. That ball will then roll out a little past the first ball. Repeat that with your next few shots, with the goal of landing each ball where the previous one came to rest. This obviously helps with your distance control and is great for helping your direction. When you get better at this drill you will have a nice straight line of balls out about 60 to 70 metres.

Heat Policy

Extreme Heat Policy
It is the policy of Rich River Golf Club Ltd to ensure safe playing conditions for competition participants in order to minimise the risk of injury, illness or possibly death in circumstances of extreme hot weather.
Purpose
This policy has been introduced to reduce the risk of heat related injury to players and officials involved in Club competitions and events.
Rich River Golf Club recognises that there are potential health risks for players participating in competitions being exposed to extreme heat conditions for long periods of time.
Heat stress is a serious health risk. High intensity exercise in a hot environment, with the associated fluid loss and elevation of body temperature, can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion and heat stroke (which can be fatal). High humidity significantly increases the likelihood of heat stress. Children are at greater risk than adults and older players may also be at high risk.
Competition organisers have a duty of care to monitor environmental conditions and to take action to minimise the risk of heat stress to players.
Procedure
In circumstances of extreme hot weather and humidity, where the ambient temperature exceeds 40 degrees, play shall be suspended or cancelled at the discretion of the respective Committee or representatives thereof.

If the weather exceeds 40 degrees please contact the pro shop on 5481 3372.
