Town of 1770 GC Par 68 Scratch 64 Slope 94 4719m
1770 is another 9 hole layout situated an hour north of Bundaberg. Whilst not a long course it more than makes up for that with the quality of the course. The whole course is very well looked after with the greens being top quality. The nine is made up of two 5's, four 3's, and three 4's, over a flat/hilly terrain and set amongst native bush which in most parts is very thick. The first hole is a Par 3 at 185m (generally into the wind - so a good start) tree lined to the green, which has a steep drop off to the sides and back. Other highlight holes are the 7th a Par 4 at 399m up hill and turning right to left to a deep green protected by a bunker left and the 9th/18th Par 5 at 488m with a wide open tee shot then a second to a narrowing fairway with water to clear (40-50m from the green) and water right and left. The option to carry the creek or lay up requires a precise shot and then with most of the greens, a steep drop off to the side and back. Water features on a couple of other holes along with a few green side bunkers but the main hazard would be the bush that surrounds the course. Hit into the bush and forget it, its snake country!
Overall the course is top quality and although lacking in length it makes up for it with tight fairways and the change in elevation that add "extra" to the holes. The greens were excellent, good speed and a shot slight over hit would see the ball roll by a way.
Well worth a stopover. Watch out for the local Kangaroo population.
