01 · About The Course
Whale Beach
Country Club.
The Whale Beach Country Club is a unique nine hole pitch and putt course etched into the cliffs above Whale Beach and Dolphin Bay.
The course, designed by Dr David Penn and Michael Ryburn, is wrapped around a sandstone masterpiece home designed by award winning architect, Michael Suttor. The course affords a challenging yet fun experience for all players.
The Course · Hole By Hole
Nine Individual
Challenges.

02Par 3
The Touch
The shortest pitch, requiring a deft touch to avoid the rough.
03Par 3
The Pacific
One of the most scenic holes in world golf, this shot traverses a steep incline onto an undulating green set against Whale Beach and the Pacific Ocean.
04Par 3
Between The Rocks
The tee box challenges the player to lob the ball between the ocean and a menacing sandstone wall, or play safe and leave a long putt for birdie.
05Par 3
The Spinner
A fun hole on the flattest part of the course, the shot requires elevation and spin to stop the ball on the green.
06Par 3
The Climb
The hardest hole on the course climbs a very steep gradient to a green with two pins. A highly lofted club is selected, but utilised with a full swing.
07Par 3
The Perch
Played to a difficult pin on the top-tiered green, the shot must be carefully considered to avoid an almost impossible downhill putt.
08Par 4
Over The House
This brilliantly designed hole invites the risk-taker to fly the building and land on a tiny green. The more conservative approach is to lay up for a simple second-shot pitch.
09Par 4
The Homecoming
Reversing the shape of the eighth, this hole needs careful placement to ensure a sight of the upper green for the second shot.02 · The Day
