Thompson Course

Hole #1
Par 4

Black   Tees: 430
Blue     Tees: 420
White  Tees: 385
Green  Tees: 300

The opening hole on the Thompson Course is gently rolling without much trouble if you stay in the fairway.  Ensure that you don't overshoot the green or you may end up on the second tee or facing a tough shot out from the trees.

Hole #2
Par 5

Black   Tees: 513
Blue     Tees: 495
White  Tees: 445
Green  Tees: 400

The second hole is a par 5 that is reachable in two shots if you successfully navigate the out of bounds along the right, the downslope of the large hill midway through the fairway, and the creek that is 100 yards short of the green.

Hole #3
Par 3

Black   Tees: 211
Blue     Tees: 195
White  Tees: 195
Green  Tees: 177

Hitting the fairway or the green on the longest par 3 at Kenogamisis is a must on the third hole as the left is lined by the parking lot which is out of bounds, and the right is the pond that provides water to the course sprinkler system.  This two tiered green can be tough if your shot ends up in the wrong spot.

Hole #4
Par 5

Black   Tees: 550
Blue     Tees: 534
White  Tees: 493
Green  Tees: 450

The fourth hole, the longest at Kenogamisis, features a gradual upslope towards two bunkers on either side of the fairway before heading down towards the green.  The green is not visible from more than 150 yards away, but aiming at the green locater in the trees will ensure your ball is heading in the right direction.

Hole #5
Par 3

Black   Tees: 143
Blue     Tees: 143
White  Tees: 132
Green  Tees: 132


Our par 3 fifth hole is known for it's green encircled by bunkers, especially the infamous "jaws" that can be tough to get out of.  A drive that strays from the green can quickly get you in trouble.

Hole #6
Par 4

Black   Tees: 340
Blue     Tees: 328
White  Tees: 316
Green  Tees: 304

The sixth hole features a pair of trees in the fairway that can be easily carried by a well hit shot.  There is a steep bank backing the green, but deep bunkers on either side of it.  This hole takes you right back to within 100 yards of the clubhouse.

Hole #7
Par 4

Black   Tees: 361
Blue     Tees: 339
White  Tees: 309
Green  Tees: 280

The risky golfer can attempt to carry their drive over the trees that make up the slight right dogleg of the seventh hole.  A narrow creek crosses the fairway 100 yards short of the green just before you reach a long fairway bunker that stretches along the border of the right rough.

Hole #8
Par 4

Black   Tees: 348
Blue     Tees: 337
White  Tees: 311
Green  Tees: 260

Wait for the bell on the eigth hole prior to hitting your drive over the hill midway down the fairway.  This fairway is fairly straight and trouble free unless your ball finds the trees on either side.  The elevated green is slightly offset to the right, and is almost perfectly flat.

Hole #9
Par 4

Black   Tees: 428
Blue     Tees: 421
White  Tees: 377
Green  Tees: 348

Long hitters may need to lay up to ensure they don't drive into the pond, if they can't place their shot to the right and short of the mexican hat bunker on the ninth hole.  The incline from the pond up to the green brings you directly back to the clubhouse.

Furber Course

Hole #10
Par 5

Black   Tees: 510
Blue     Tees: 484
White  Tees: 445
Green  Tees: 407

Furber's opening tenth hole can be tough if you miss the narrow landing strip in the fairway.  Risky golfers can go for the green on their second shot, but laying up short of the creek at the base of the elevated green is the route most players take.

Hole #11
Par 4

Black   Tees: 393
Blue     Tees: 362
White  Tees: 345
Green  Tees: 313

Placement of the drive on the eleventh hole is key to avoid the out of bounds along the left and the large bunkers along the right side of the fairway.  This hole features a breathtaking view of Kenogamisis Lake with the possibility of pelican sightings.

Hole #12
Par 5

Black   Tees: 532
Blue     Tees: 508
White  Tees: 474
Green  Tees: 438

The severe drop off, which is out of bounds, along the entire left side of the twelfth hole makes this par 5 dogleg left a toughie.  A well hit second shot can carry the corner of the gully to get you close to the green.  This hole also features a stunning view of Kenogamisis Lake.

Hole #13
Par 3

Black   Tees: 194
Blue     Tees: 159
White  Tees: 126
Green  Tees: 107

The par 3 thirteenth hole features another large tiered green that makes for many tough putts.  Missing the green anything but short, puts you either in sand or in the clay-based rough that is hard to hit from.

Hole #14
Par 4

Black   Tees: 433
Blue     Tees: 385
White  Tees: 356
Green  Tees: 355

Strategically placed trees in front of the tee blocks on the fourteenth hole increase the difficulty of placing your ball in the fairway to the left of a large bunker.  This large tiered green can make for long putts if your club selection is off.

Hole #15
Par 3

Black   Tees: 206
Blue     Tees: 170
White  Tees: 149
Green  Tees: 129

If you can't  carry the sedge grass between the tees and green on the fifthteenth hole, then golfers should utilize the fairway off to the right.  This elevated green has several bunkers that can get you in trouble if your ball goes astray.  The Geraldton mining headframe and interpretive centre make the perfect backdrop for this hole.

Hole #16
Par 4

Black   Tees: 436
Blue     Tees: 414
White  Tees: 379
Green  Tees: 360

The sixteenth hole has a 90 degree dogleg left that long hitters can attempt to cut the corner, otherwise a layup shot to the corner is required.  Balls can be hard to find if they stray in the sedge grass and rough along the right side of the hole.

Hole #17
Par 3

Black   Tees: 150
Blue     Tees: 118
White  Tees: 87
Green  Tees: 79

The green on the seventeenth hole could almost be considered an island as it is surrounded by water and marshland that is filled with ducks and many species of birds.  Hitting the green is a must on the shortest hole at Kenogamisis, as the banks surrounding the green usually kick your ball into the water if you miss.

Hole #18
Par 5

Black   Tees: 510
Blue     Tees: 494
White  Tees: 462
Green  Tees: 445

The view from the eighteenth tee is breathtaking, if not a little scary when you realize the landing area you must hit.  Attempting to carry your second shot over the water to the green is possible depending on the placement of your drive.  This beautiful hole is an exciting way to finish up your round at the Kenogamisis Golf Club.
