Originally part of the Ashbury 27 combination course, Pines was extended and opened as its own 18-hole course in September 2003. At 5,901 yards and Par 70 from the white tee plates Pines is a truly testing course. The extra 10 holes have been designed to keep the existing contours and natural features in place. For example parts of the Devon hedges have been taken out, moved and replanted so that they run parallel to holes. Ditches have not been covered in but widened to make them a significant hazard on three holes - where club selection is as important as distance. To enhance the natural features 1110 native trees have been added along with 5 new ponds - 3 on one hole!! 30 new bunkers have been built including on the 10th hole three links style pot bunkers behind and to the right of the green to catch shots running through.
