    Default The hills - Jimboomba

    Heading to play The hills at Jimboomba tomorrow with a group from our club.. Lots of people talking about how long it is etc.. anyone played there? I cant seem to find a course guide online anywhere.

    Just want to see what all the talk is about before heading out blind tomorrow and probably raising the bat.

    It is only long if you play off the backs (the blues), which are way back. Off the normal comp/social tees (whites) it is only 6127m vs 6906m off the blues.

    Played on Saturday. Only long if playing off the backs.

    Massive shortage of water out that part of town, so dont expect lush rolling fairways, but in not bad nick at the moment.
    Bunkers out there are basically a write off, but the greens as good as I've seen them for a long time.

    Warning..you will get a fair bit of run, play hybrid off the second.

    Every time I am out at Jimboomba I go out and have a look at the course. I have yet to see it green. It looks like the driest place on earth.

    I played the blue roo last week,

    Easy as 10 on number 2,

    2iron off the tee
    2iron OOB
    2iron OOB
    2iron water hazard
    Hit on
    2putts
    10

    Then had a double on 4

    8 over through through 4, ended up 14 over, not bad considering the start I thought, not good, but not bad

    That 2nd at Hills is probably the meanest hole I have ever played.
