    Checked out Sun City yesterday. Overall pretty impressed for a cheap-ish track.

    Nice undulations, good nick, excellent practice facilites and very quiet. Almost every par 4 was a long dogleg, which was a tad monotonous, but it sure beats the norm of public tracks. Pretty darn long too.

    What time might you play?

    7:20 is an early one (with the drive down)

    I thought you liked the early ones!

    I'm going to call them later today and see what the morning bookings are like. I don't want to get sandwiched in with a large amount of paying public and have the round take a long time. I'll probably book when there is a break in the field.

    That is a good way to put it. A lot of potential. Enjoyable atm, but could be something special.

    Johhny Canuck, the 8ish tee times have been suiting me fine. When I am flat out at work (like I have been of late) the early tee times are a little intimidating because getting out of bed on Saturday is rough. Send me an sms when you know what you are doing and I can decide when to play.

    Firstly I am a member of Hartfield so bias may count for some. I don't really see the holes feeling the same Bruce. There is many variables on the course, there are atleast 5 holes where i change from Driver to hybrid 3 depending on the wind and my swing on the day and where I feel I need to land it for my approach. I agree it is a little flat, but for the price alot better than other courses around. For a course with the same feel go to Melville Glades, I was a member there for 10 years, man that has got to be the most boring layout in Perth, great greens and fairways though. They have just started a 15year layout change plan as well so it might be better by the time I reach retirement!!

    I was a member their about ten years ago, not saying its a bad golf course but to me wasn't anything oustanding in the layout.

    Sorry, adlo!! The 'diabolical' comment was in no way aimed at you.

    I have contributed a few times here so far...but I don't want to be stuck on the forum all day...tempting though it is

    What I meant by diabolical was, like you, I LOVE BINNINGUP !!! To see it spoiled by some development and housing, and designing a new 9 and remodelling what is already there WILL take away from what is a gem.

    How many times have we seen the age old 'developments' with golf course attached. Sometimes they can get it right, sometimes NOT (like Glen Iris!!!).

    Although not busy or well known, Binningup is widely well regarded - partly because it is so quiet, partly because it is in good nick with great greens, but also cause it has that certain magic to it. It is a great collection of holes in a fantastic setting that making a development will surely turn it into another 'The Cut' or Glen Iris or Secret Harbour...like we need more of those.

    I knew you weren't having a go TourFit, was just waiting for you to expand on the comment!

    Binningup may remain a good course, but undoubtedly will lose the "magic" you mention. Good word for it.

    Funny he uses that term, I've always referred to it as magical. Seems very fitting.

    As long as it isn't Copperfield Golf Design....We'll make your balls disappear!!!!

    That might be a good one for another designer (JW) in reference to a certain WA course....

    OK, played Joondalup Lakes 9 with Mr Dickinson himself today.

    It has redeemed itself in a big way. MUCH more enjoyable on foot. Greens are still massive, and will take some getting used to. Had 2 3 putts through 9 holes which was better than last time

    Excellent twilight rates atm, will continue to play there over summer to get a few more looks at Quarry/Dune.

    Hey Adlo,

    Runour has it we are getting reciprocal rights at Sanctuary and Sun City! (With a possible third course on the horizon that I don't want to put in print until it becomes more definite). I'll give you a hint... I mentioned it in my ratings of WA courses.

    Very well. Especially the driver. Almost drove a 300m par 4, and hit a few 250m+ into a 2 club headwind.

    Had a lazy 40 after hitting his first shot of the day into the drink.

    We took the money off Boonie easily.
    mate I think the carrying was evenly spread, you did the golf part (apart from 79 at Kingston Heath) and I covered your sorry arse in the social stakes.

    Enjoyed the golf with Adlo and couple of others, $29 to play Joondalup and we had the whole nine to ourselves.
