1. Mirage Country Club<\/h2>\n

Mirage Country Club<\/strong> opened in 1986, a year before the neighbouring Sheraton Mirage resort welcomed its first guests. Both projects were driven by entrepreneur Christopher Skase. The course was designed by five-time Open Champion Peter Thomson and Michael Wolveridge. It plays to a par of 72 at about 6,260 metres from the back tees, with an unusual mix of six par 3s, six par 4s and six par 5s.<\/p>\n

The two nines feel quite different. The front nine winds through the resort grounds, and two fairways run close to Four Mile Beach. The back nine is more open, with lakes and a mountain backdrop. Recent Google reviews describe the course as fairly flat, with wide fairways that suit most handicaps. Some visitors note that the greens can run slow, especially after sanding. There are also crocodiles in the lakes, including the one at the driving range, so leave any ball that finds the water.<\/p>\n

The clubhouse has a pro shop with club hire, and lessons are available from a PGA professional. The practice area includes putting greens and an aquatic driving range for irons. Collared shirts are required, and jeans and running shorts are not allowed. The course has also hosted big events in the past. In 1988, it staged what was then the world\u2019s richest skins game, worth AUD 2.2 million.<\/p>\n

Visitor green fees include a shared electric cart. Third-party guides list 18 holes from around AUD 95-105, with lower rates for resort guests and residents. Packages with hire clubs and balls are also available.<\/p>\n
