Sal's Point, Lost Farm's soon-to-become famours par-3 4th hole.

Sattler spent many hours walking the property with Coore working out green and tee sites.

“Bill told me there were 20 good holes out there and I should choose the best 18,” Sattler says. “I told him he was the expert and he should choose. In the end we kept all 20.”

Yes, that’s another unique aspect about Lost Farm. It has 20 holes, with the two additional holes, 13a and 18a, both being par-3s.

Actually the par-3s are a real strength of Coore’s design at Lost Farm. Arguably the best of them is the 160-metre 15th, which offers the final ocean view of the round. The tee is perched above the beach and you play down to a massive green that lies wedged between scrub covered dunes right and a 30-metre high dune to the left. The top of this dune is now home to Lost Farm’s restaurant and the soon-to-be-opened wellness centre.

Lost Farm is a wonderful and highly anticipated new addition to the Australian golfing landscape and it won’t be long before its impact is felt on national ranking lists. The design is world class and with more growing time, the playing surfaces will be equally as impressive.
