Where most golfers lose shots at Donnybrook

Over-attacking the pins on undulating greens can lead to difficult three-putts or chips from awkward lies. Ignoring the wind through the trees or miscalculating the roll on downhill sections often results in finding the thick natural hazards. Players frequently take too much risk on narrow lines rather than playing to the wider parts of the doglegs.

Scoring Zone strategy for Donnybrook

Donnybrook rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check local conditions as the course can play significantly faster and firmer during the summer months. Pack plenty of water and sun protection, as the layout is exposed to the Western Australian elements. Focus on a conservative off-the-tee strategy to ensure you remain in play throughout the round.
