The course at Raffeen Creek is a short course with some demanding holes to test any golfer. The 1st and 10th hole is a 350 metre par four. The tee shot is played downhill followed by an uphill 2nd. The 2nd and 11th hole is a short par four with a bunker guarding the front and water at the back. The 3rd and 12th is a demanding hole with an accurate tee shot needed. The green is slightly elevated with a drop to the right of about 20 feet. This green is guarded by two treacherous bunkers.
The 4th and 13th is a 450 metre par 5 with a tee shot over water. This hole has trees along the right of the fairway and water down the left. The 5th and 14th is a short par 3. This green has a severe ridge running through the middle of it and a tall tree guarding the front left of the green. The 6th and 15th hole is a short par 4 with trees on the left and out of bounds of the right. A short iron is required for your second shot to this green.
The 7th and 16th is another short par 4 but with danger on either side of the fairway. It is a dogleg to the left to a green well elevated. The 8th and 17th is a 300 metre par 4 with a drive over water to a fairway dotted with bunkers. This hole has water running down the left hand side and over the back of the green so an accurate and smart approach is needed. The 9th and 18th is the signature hole of this course. It's a par 3 over water to an elevated green with a steep bank at the back of it.
