What is there not to love about golf? A man with a golf club can bring a hushed silence over a crowd and has the ability to make a little white ball fly 300 meters through the air.

The River Club offers both seasoned golfers and the “not so professional” golfers the chance to perfect their swing on the driving range. They can also go out onto the 9 hole par 27 Mashie course to practice their short game.

The combination of a driving range and a short course makes it the ideal learning and practice facility where golfers at any level of the game can improve all aspects of their game.

There is an on-site Golf Teaching academy with professional coaches that can advise golfers from beginners right through to better players.

The restaurant and bar offers a variety of meals and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere – the ideal place to brag about that putt which went in from 18 feet, or the “almost” hole in one you shot on the 9th!

What is Power Play Golf?

Two holes are cut on each putting green, one with a White Flag and one with a Black Flag. The ‘White Flag’ hole location is considered easy to play, and the ‘Black Flag’ hole location is considered more difficult to play. Going for a ‘PowerPlay’ means playing to the Black Flag. This will be available every Thursday for members and visitors alike.

A player must go for exactly three PowerPlay in the first eight holes, and their marker must mark their scorecard by circling the three holes on which they go for a PowerPlay. A scorecard on which a player has not marked exactly three PowerPlay in the first eight holes is deemed to be invalid, and the player will be disqualified from the event. A player must play to the White Flag when not going for a PowerPlay. Players must nominate their PowerPlay before their tee shot. A PowerPlay nominated after the tee shot is invalid. Once nominated, and the tee shot taken, a PowerPlay cannot be withdrawn. On the ninth hole, players can go for a bonus ‘PowerPlay’, at greater risk.

Scoring Points

Scoring in PowerPlay Golf® Strokeplay is by the Stableford points system. When not going for a PowerPlay (ie: when playing to the White Flag), players score normal Stableford points.
Namely:

• Net Double Bogey or worse 0 points
• Net Bogey 1 point
• Net Par 2 points
• Net Birdie 3 points
• Net Eagle 4 points
• Net Albatross 5 points

When going for PowerPlay (ie: when playing to the Black Flag), players score double points for a Net Birdie or better. Scoring is therefore as follows:

• Net Double Bogey or worse 0 points
• Net Bogey 1 point
• Net Par 2 points
• Net Birdie 6 points (PowerPlay)
• Net Eagle 8 points (PowerPlay)
• Net Albatross 10 points (PowerPlay)

Note that players do not score double points for Pars or Bogeys when on a PowerPlay.

Players face decision time on the ninth (last) tee. Either play it safe to the White Flag (protect your score), or go for a final bonus PowerPlay to the Black Flag, for a potential last-hole points boost – but at the risk of a last-hole points penalty. If going for bonus PowerPlay on the ninth (last) hole, players score as per a normal PowerPlay (Rule 11), except they score minus three points on that hole if they score a Net Bogey or worse.
Example: If a player scores a Net Bogey, Net Double Bogey or worse on a ninth hole PowerPlay, that player scores -3 points on that hole, meaning that his total score for the round is reduced by 3 points.
