The Lakes Course hole routing makes good use of meandering creeks and water-filled canyons created by abandoned open cast tin mining with natural land flow left relatively unchanged from the original jungle contours. The front 9 runs through a landscape of lakes and natural canyons, whilst the back 9 weaves its way around stands of rubber trees. When playing the Blue Canyon Lakes Course driving it in the fairway is important to have any chance at scoring well. Many of the approach shots are over small creeks or canyons that run across the fairways, and getting to the greens in regulation is only possible from a good lie.
