Yep I'm pretty sure it's Hills International.

That is probably it's claim to fame because it doesn't have much else going for it.

How long is the course (Bargara) with the par 6?

I was a member of Hills for a couple of years, until 2008, and also have played a lot of pennants there when I was a member of Beaudesert and Kooralbyn. It just does not seem to play that long. A few of the holes are downhill, like 2, 4 and 18, and there is always plenty of run. I used to make sure I played the black marker days, as CCR was always around 76 or 77, and for me that was a surefire way to keep the handicap down.

I think Sun City in Yanchep comes close. I think it's a shade over 6600m.

Yep, walked the damned thing on a day in April on when the mercury hit 30. All 4 of us were shagged by the end.

Back tees at Mt Broughton is 6619, and plays every bit of it. Standard tees are 6299.

I unfortunately got stuck carrying my old staff bag after they ran out of carts on an absolute stinker of a day! Thankfully I got a ride home that night as I was stuffed :oops:
