Golf & Country Club

Located in the beautiful wine district of the Hunter Valley, Cypress Lakes Golf Course is a picturesque 6,487 metre par 72 18-hole championship golf course and is ranked among the top resort courses in Australia.

Unveiled in 1992, Cypress Lakes was designed by Steve Smyers of Florida. From the Black championship markers, the layout is a length of 6,467m par 72, but reduces to 5,520m from the men’s White tees with the ladies facing a distance of 5,216m.

Each tee and green offers stunning panoramic views of the Hunter Valley’s famous vineyards and the surrounding Brokenback mountain range. This Championship layout boasts dramatic fairways shapes and elevation changes, 60 strategically located bunkers and generous greens that are in superb condition year round. Significant golf course infrastructure investment by the Oaks Hotels group is quickly catapulting Cypress Lakes to the top of must play resort destinations in Australia.

    Reframing Your Perspective

    The exponential factors driving our future are artificial intelligence, robotics and leadership. Leaders will require the ability to shift and adapt fluidly in order to positively impact humanity. 

    The Davos Manifesto released in January 2020 challenges businesses to redefine who they are and how they operate, this on the back of the US Business Roundtable, America’s most influential business lobby group, announcing it would embrace stakeholder capitalism in 2019.

    Today we weave tools to help shift mindset and achieve maximum impact, through a journey into the future.
