Hole 1 · Par 4
Playing tip: Avoid the sight-line bunker and favour a controlled approach into the elevated green.
The Cut Golf Course is coastal Western Australian golf turned up to widescreen. This 18-hole public links at Dawesville follows natural dunes near the Indian Ocean, where exposed fairways, deep bunkering and the afternoon wind can turn a sensible plan into improvisational theatre. Online booking offers walking, cart and meal combinations, while the golf shop, hire equipment, bar and kitchen cover the practical essentials. It is a memorable Mandurah-region round with scenery and bite in equal measure.

Spectacular windswept coastal links with dramatic ocean views, firm fast greens and a clever, testing layout golfers rave about. Clubhouse and practice facilities are solid. Course can feel heavily used at times and greens maintenance sometimes interrupts play.

Playing tip: Avoid the sight-line bunker and favour a controlled approach into the elevated green.
Playing tip: Lay back from the deep fairway bunkers and leave a short-iron approach.
Playing tip: Use the wider landing area unless the narrow route to the green is firmly within range.
Playing tip: Commit to the mid-iron; the dune shelters the green from the prevailing wind.
Playing tip: Either clear the inside bunkers or lay up short of the approach hazards.
Playing tip: Leave the driver if necessary and find the wider section before the fairway narrows.
Playing tip: Choose between laying up left and challenging the water for the best green angle.
Playing tip: Use the wind and fairway width, but decide honestly whether the right bunker can be carried.
Playing tip: Prioritise driving accuracy and adjust the approach for wind and elevation.
Playing tip: Let the valley gather the drive, then favour accuracy into the sand-guarded green.
Playing tip: Use less than driver for position and match the approach to the pin level.
Playing tip: Find the fairway between the dunes and allow for the climb to the exposed green.
Playing tip: Trust the generous green and choose the long-iron by the current wind.
Playing tip: Use the visible left bunker as the conservative line; carrying right shortens the hole.
Playing tip: Avoid the right bunker, then decide whether the blind dogleg corner is worth challenging.
Playing tip: Recheck the exposed wind before attacking the partly hidden green.
Playing tip: Choose an iron for the narrow saddle and prioritise the correct section of the shared green.
