An absolute gem of a muni. Very fine conditions throughout the course with lushness and good targeting of maintenance and watering. Thursday 29 Oct 09, 12:24 tee 3ball, $40 riding (senior). Having aerated on 11 Oct, the greens are progressing well. By mid November should be great. Scars still visible but greens were smooth, medium speed, soft and held well. Very interesting greens design using contouring and mounds as the defence; LOTS of fun. Rough around the course is well managed, around an inch near greens, slightly longer off fairways, and all lush. Fairways lush, at times thin, but good shape and firmish. Sand quality around the greens very good; fairway bunkering a little thin (not a biggy). Tees in good shape but some not too level with divot damage. The layout was fun and interesting, with good use of the small hills to guard the greens; challenging enough. It was a busy day so 5 hours was the pace, but they do use 8 minute tee time spacing (good luck). Nice marshalling, no drinks cart today, service ok. A good practice facility with huge range, all turf and flat. Chipping area removed from range and nearer to pro shop. Putting greens of good size for practice. A separate restaurant is available with good F&B and bar but opens at 11:00. Small grill in the pro shop is open for small eats. Overall a lot of fun with good challenge on a great fall day.
Did you know the Nike tour stopped here.
