Summary
Located in the spectacular Port Stephens area on New South Wales lower north coast, Pacific Dunes is a $180 Million golf course residential community. The centerpiece of the community is an 18 hole, par 72 championship course designed by James Wilcher. Winding through the natural undulations of the site, the international standard championship course comprises two distinct nine- holes. The outward nine meanders through the shady Angophoras and Swamp Mahongany trees, while the back nine is interwoven among natural lakes and wetlands.
 
The course has been designed to test the golfers thought process as much as their playing skill with careful consideration of hazard placement and the positioning of water carries. The integration of teeing options coupled with the generous fairway widths makes it a course that will be enjoyed by golfers of all levels.
