Course Character
Golf Australia’s feature characterises it as tight and demanding, with bailout options but real punishment for errant shots into scrub. Wakehurst’s current site describes a Seaforth course in unique bushland with Manly Dam views and public tee times seven days a week. A demanding bushland par-72 above Manly Dam.
