Following the final day of the WPGA, members will have the opportunity to play The Palms golf course in its championship configuration, exactly as the professionals will experience it during tournament week. To help you prepare, we have outlined the key updates to the 2026 course layout below.<\/p>\n
6th hole:<\/b> 7th hole:<\/b> 11th hole:<\/b> 18th hole:<\/b> [UNSURE IF WE NEED THIS]<\/span>
\nA new tee has been constructed; however, the hole will continue to play at the same length as in 2025. [Please insert the 2025 length]<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWith the new tee complex now in place on the par 3 6th hole, we are able to utilise the men\u2019s teeing area for the 7th hole. This adjustment allows the hole to shift from a par 4 to a par 5, now playing 450m \/ 492y.<\/p>\n
\nA newly built tee introduces a slightly different angle of play while maintaining a similar overall length to the 2025 set-up.<\/p>\n
\nThis hole has undergone the most significant change. While it has been converted to a short par 4 for members, the championship will see it played as a par 5 to ensure balance across the back nine.<\/p>\n
\nThe original par 5 tees remain; however, the newly constructed penalty area down the left makes the 2025 tee less suitable due to the required carry. Playing from the next tee forward straightens the line, reduces the water carry, and still delivers a strong finishing hole at 420m \/ 459y, particularly given it plays predominantly into the wind.<\/p>\n
