1. Maleny GC*
2. Maryborough GC
3. Noosa Springs
4. Gailes GC*
5. Hervey Bay GC
6. Bundaberg GC
7. Coral Cove

* indicates a first time play.

How was Maleny GC? It is a course that I have been thinking about visiting to have a look. Have they started work on a second nine?It was decent. A few hole have fwy running across sides of hills 1&2. But the rest were ok. Kikuyu rough is brutal. Greens are interesting.

The big challenge would be to get to 40 courses that only start with the letters B or Y.

So far, my list qualifies. I've only played one course, but it does start with B.

Work was giving away 3 tickets to play in the PGA Pro-Am and I scored one of them. Given the last time I had a club in hand was at last year's Leon Treadwell day, say a prayer for the pro I am playing with.

[BrisWesty]

That was fun. Our team was paired up with Lincoln Tighe. He hits a massive ball.

[benno_r]

Even I haven't played Warrnambool, and I was born there.

What was it like?It was pretty good actually. A mix of excellent dunes and basic parklands.

8. Glen Iris Public Golf Course - Another old haunt that I used to play alot 20 years ago during Uni time.... Good memories... but seems to be shorter than what I remember before...

Recently heard some people complaining about the condition of the course. The fairways were in pretty good nick, and the greens were actually pretty nice... bit wet when we first teed off, and we did find the grass around the cup were slightly uneven that would just push the balls away at the last minute... but once it dried up, it was slightly better....

[AndyP]

Good post, okitoki. This just listing courses in a post is boring.

What did you think of Arundel?

[benno_r]

What did you think of Arundel?

it's a bit bland. Aside from the last par 3 (downhill over water), there is no real wow.

Course was in decent nick, greens are pretty good (I think they are bent). Got it on an iseek deal for $50-$55 with a cart, was worth it for that.

9. Collier Park (Lakes and Pine) - Another old haunt that i used to skip uni to have a quick round with my mates.... Recently bought over by the same group who runs Wembley. Already noticed improvement made to the pro shop and the bar area (Used to be able to buy beers from the front, but have to buy in the bar now); Bar lady told me further improvements will be made to the back of bar and the front area too.
Course seems to have improved alot since I played last year. Greens are in much better condition with the grass growing pretty evenly, and the fairways actually look really nice. (remember it to be pretty sandy around the edge of fringes)
Can't wait to see what other imrpovement will be made.... if they can do what they did to Wembley... it would be awesome as it is right next to where I live :)

10. Pinjarra Golf Club - After yesterdays strong wind and heavy rain in the morning, managed to get some good weather but still windy for the Pennant game at Pinjarra.
Nice course, pretty flat but some hidden water if you never played there before. Not too long, but narrow fairway. A few holes doesnt really punish you as wild shots lands you in the next fairway that allows you have a semi decent recovery shots. Was pretty surprised even after the days of heavy rain we had. the course wasn't soft and not many plugged shots.


Green wasn't too fast, but my putting just didnt help with the match....

11. Meadow Springs Golf and Country Club - Supposed to be the pennant game at Mandurah GC yesterday but ended up being reserved for the day; Game was finished by lunch time, but was itching for a game; Since Meadow Springs was just around the corner and didnt want to waste the hour drive down here so decided to have a quick practice for next week's game there. was surprised to be able to get a public game on a Sunday afternoon.

Course was pretty.... seems pretty wide in the beginning.
Fairways seems nice and hard so I was getting some good rolls there. a few of their par 5s seems to be reachable for me in 2, so the longer hitters should be easy. Big greens, so plenty of long putts.
Once you get to the later holes, you will start to see the roughs are those fluffy short native grasses, balls will be easily lost in there. I was hitting 3 balls, and managed to loose a few of them

Only downside, I didnt see any sand buckets around the first tee, so there were plenty of divot marks around the fairway. greens plug marks were not repaired, or bunkers were not raked. came across a few groups of public players (one group had 5 players in it) so that would explain the condition of some of the bunkers. Fortunately they all let me pass through.....

[benno_r]

Couple of rounds with Timah Fri/Sat see a few more added.

1. Maleny GC*

[PerryGroves]

benno_r, can I get your thoughts on Streamstrong vs Pasa and maybe the good Aussie stuff, the mail is polar, that is, some love, some hate.

I don't really like Florida golf as its all a bit Qld for me.

benno_r, can I get your thoughts on Streamstrong vs Pasa and maybe the good Aussie stuff, the mail is polar, that is, some love, some hate.

I don't really like Florida golf as its all a bit Qld for me.

Sure mate. I agree typical Florida is average. BUT. Streamsong is fantastic. I only played Blue and Red, but Blue reminds me of St Andrews Beach (both by Doak), on more open land. Red is a better course in my opinion, as it has some great dunes / water land on the front 9, and the back 9 felt like I was playing the Sandbelt. Both play firm, and allow plenty of options to get to the green - aerial, bump and run etc. They are also built for walking (which I did in the Cairns like weather each day), with a lot of holes have a 10m walk across grass green to tee. Although the course is very un-American, the service is not - eskies with water all over the course, marshalls running cold towels around, great halfway houses etc.

Pasa is very different - green complexes are superb (being Mackenzie). The front 9 layout is ok, nothing too wow. The back 9 layout is probably the best 9 holes of golf I am yet to play. The land is amazing, and the creek(s) come into play on 6 of the holes.

If you were looking at a few days of golfing, Streamsong would be an excellent choice, 3 courses, accom, multiple dining options all on site.

Although the course is very un-American, the service is not - eskies with water all over the course, marshalls running cold towels around, great halfway houses etc.

Pasa is very different - green complexes are superb (being Mackenzie). The front 9 layout is ok, nothing too wow. The back 9 layout is probably the best 9 holes of golf I am yet to play. The land is amazing, and the creek(s) come into play on 6 of the holes.

If you were looking at a few days of golfing, Streamsong would be an excellent choice, 3 courses, accom, multiple dining options all on site.

Thanks mate, sounds like a good option if I'm ever down that way, Doral left me a bit flat as did all the stuff around Orlando.

I liked Pasa as well, just wish they didn't have so many houses on the course on the front nine.

Some courses (China) are ridiculously overpriced and not great condition. The caddie thing takes time to get used too as well,

[AndyP]

My eyeballs were popping out at the cost of the rounds that wbennett had in Vietnam. Are they that much better than Barnbougle to be worth a round?

Mrs Henno's work does a yearly conference that all partners are invited to (all expenses paid) and this year was Cambodia. Sadly, I had to cancel due to Commonwealth Games commitments but some of the prices for golf were unbelievable, considering how cheap everything else is (and how poor the country is in general). It really seems like it is set up to get the uber-rich Chinese to part with their cash.

I would think the target audience of most of the golf courses in SE Asia would be westerners.

[henno]

I would think the target audience of most of the golf courses in SE Asia would be westerners.

In hindsight, you are probably right.

I just feel that the cost of golf indexed to the local economy would have worked out at many thousands of dollars per round. It was many hundreds as it was.

[benno_r]

In hindsight, you are probably right.

I just feel that the cost of golf indexed to the local economy would have worked out at many thousands of dollars per round. It was many hundreds as it was.

Maybe not so much just westerners - factor in place like Singapore, Korea, and Japan. Not sure of the ratio, but there were a number of Koreans when we went to Mission Hills.

[okitoki]

Nah... they just target people with deep pockets.

[Shreko]

I would think the target audience of most of the golf courses in SE Asia would be westerners.

I actually found that most SE Asia courses were full of Chinese/Korean and Japanese golfers with only a smattering of westerners,

They do love the whole 6 hour round plus 3 hours at clubhouse setup,

I guess it would be a technical course as I dont think taking out the driver every hole is going to be rewarding.... lost a few balls by over hitting into the quarry or disappearing into those thick roughs...

overall, enjoyable course.... would be great if I can play a full round instead of ambrose game

Heading back to work on Tuesday, so looks like it will be 50 for 2018. Pretty happy considering I spent over 180days this year on an oil rig in the Timor sea.

This ^I will hit 21 Monday. Bennos list is insane. Yep. I hit 23 tomorrow which is probably triple my previous most prolific year. 50 is ridiculous. I’m pretty jealous (of that list at least, not so much the spending half the year on an offshore rig!).

That’s me done for the year. It’s not quite to the standard or Benno or Peps but considering over the last decaclde I’ve probably averaged 6-8 total rounds a year I’m really happy with it. Some great tracks in there too.

I doubt I’ll get anywhere near that many in 2019 but kicking things off with Barny in Feb isn’t a bad place to start.
