Corica Park - South Course

The new and improved Corica Park South Course is in fine form. It’s not too firm and fast and rolls purely. Old Jack Clark is looking good. It’s a bit pricey. They may see less of the public as often as they would like if rates remain high as they are. It’s a plus and minus thing...an easy 5 cents is better than a slow dollar. I guess it’s about how many rounds they want vs. how many they could get?

If you like the surrounding area courses, this is a better course. If you miss some of the closed links style courses like Roddy Ranch(without the elevation) or Stevinson Ranch then this is your place. Has lots of rolling fairways and open space on the front and more eucalyptus trees on the back. Many traps to avoid. Very hazardous.

Plays fair and long from back tees. Holes 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 all long and have huge greens that have lots of space and undulation. Shortest par 5 #15 is reachable with a treacherous green. Other par 5 are long if not three shot holes. Hole 4-11-12-18 are top tier. A short par 4 to drive in hole 8 is very well protected. Hole 18 bunker in middle of fairway is perfect and will get you if you don’t control the shaft.

Some bunkers can be cleared others can’t. Some you can see are further than they appear, others shorter. Wide fairways are very forgiving but the traps are real.

Greens are rolling true for now. And course is in great shape. Head to toe it’s fine right now.

Welcome back Jack Clark!
