The third hole at Links Hope Island is one tough par 3. Coming so early in the round scoring well on this hole can keep you in a positive mind or destory what could have been a good day out.
The length of the hole is challenging and the bunkers shown in this photograph have a habit of catching errant golf balls.
In addition to a great course layout with a variety of interesting and thinking holes, Hope Island is known for its outstanding course conditioning and great attention to detail.
It is also a golf course featured in my newly released coffee table book. "Great Golf Down Under" is a 224 page book with over 250 images from 74 of the best golf courses that Australia and New Zealand have to offer. It is priced at $69.95 and makes the ideal present.
