A couple of points to make after the posts above.
The aerial photo must have been taken during grow in, hence the appearance of the 18th fairway (dirt) and the aquamarine colour of several greens.
The first greensite was a planning hassle from what I could gather from the designer (James Wilcher). He had to reduce the depth of the green so as to preserve some native shrubs on the edge of the dune. The cart path from the first fairway to the second tee has to be where it is, there is simply no other position for it. The path doesn't impact on play as much as it looks in that pic, but along with most of you (I suspect), I'd like to see a total absence of cart paths on courses, especially in such locales.
The green contouring is cool Tom. There's good internal movement in many but not all. I'd like 9 to have been very different, but all in all, they are a very good set of greens. Open fronts on some longer holes, and really precise wedges needed on the short 4's. No exaggerated spines or curves. Cool skyline green on 12 like 10 at Barnbougle. The 16th is sensational, like 16 at Paraparaumum Beach. A tiny sliver of green on a very short par three, nestled into a hillside oblique to the play line from the tee. The greens are bigger than those at St. Andrews Beach, and likewise, are quite firm.
The pics of the course (in the review and on the club's website) are disappointing. They capture little of the cool design and convey only a portion of the excitement of holes like 3,12, and the last 5 holes. I'm not that great at taking pics on course, but I'm confident mine are miles better than those you have seen. The place is really special looking. For those aussies and other familiar with the courses, think of a blend between National (Old) and NSW.
The site is sensational. A well routed course. Great fun, and intelligently designed. Hard work to get to mind you, at 90mins south of Perth.

P.S. What's the worst cart path TD?
