    Hi Simon - welcome to Melbourne - as probably said already, some great courses around the area.

    Welcome Simon. Enjoy the Sandbelt. I'm a public access course player from Geelong, so sandbelt courses are a very rare treat. Of the sisters, I've played Huntingdale and Commonwealth. I hear Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath are ok.

    Played The Dunes last Wednesday in perfect winter conditions. Worth the 2 hour drive around the bay.

    Yep am looking around - I'm playing Royal Melbourne end of Sept but can't afford that one!!

    Can't believe the joining fee's!! Especially all this under 40 rubbish where you get a reduced cost to join - its a joke!!

    which clubs are you looking at, some on the sanbelt are very exxy same as on the peninsula.

    we can agree to dissagree on the under 40's subject

    Looks like Spring Valley and Southern don't have joining fees - both look like decent tracks too

    the plan is to get out and play a few and see which offers the best course for the price - everyone is chasing new members at the moment so should be able to negotiate a few cheap rounds to try out the course

    SMB: Spring Valley is your best bet; Keysborough and Long Island are also both reasonable quality in the area; it comes down to what you value in a golf course and membership.

    I personally have never played Southern so I cannot comment on it.
