Dirkshorn has been sympathetically designed with the courses natural surroundings in mind and proudly bears the “Committed to Green” eco label. Golfers will encounter a fairly open set up where the main challenges come in the form of a series of water hazards, pot bunkers and long marram grass rough. Staying in the fairway is imperative which is easier said than done. The course is exposed to the elements so the wind plays a big part in the difficulty. Well maintained throughout the year, the course is a joy to play, especially the putting surfaces which are top class. Excellent practice facilities also allow visiting golfers to loosen up before taking to the course.
