    Got back to Secret Harbour last Friday with my usual playing partner.
    Absolutely perfect day for it as compared to the mini cyclone I played in last time I was there......drove pretty straight all day (cause you have to really otherwise spend hrs looking for your ball in the thick rough) and hit 12 fairways.....some reasonably nice approach shots, managed 5 GIR's BUT COULD NOT buy a putt...took me 7-8 holes to get used to the lightning speed of the greens.

    I won't mention scores cause I basically lost it on the greens but we had a great day, enjoyed taking my mate down to an oceanside course that he thoroughly enjoyed and he done ok for his first time out there.

    This course rates very highly in my books....easily in the top 5.

    Secret Harbour is a nice course, no doubt.

    After not playing there for a month, and playing a few other public courses lately, I would have to say Wembley Old Course might be the best value golf in Perth metro. $27 on weekends for a course in great nick and a fairly interesting layout. I played Collier on Friday, and while I don't mind the layout, the condition is RUBBISH.

    Yeah but it's where I cut my teeth, so I still get back there often....driving range & practive area are pretty good.....the course good at teaching you to hit straight as the fairways are extremely narrow.

    Played at Kwinana GC on New Years eve with my brother and a couple of mates and I gotta say I was very impressed.....I'd heard rumours that the place was taking big steps forward and puting a lot of work into the course.....It's sure paying off.
    From Tee to pin the course condition was well above average with quite firm fairways and really excellent greens.

    It plays long at well over 6kms for 18, all of which we walked on a pretty warm day but there's plenty of shade with tree lined fairways, well maintained rough with not too many low dense bushes.....some very challenging up hill long par 3's, most Par4's played around 370m with the longest being 402m and the shortest 307m.

    Will definitely be making a few more trips back there in the near future.

    I am staying in Palmyra most of the time but also travelling to Duncraig often...

    Not sure about the restrictions on luggage as yet, but would love to bring the clubs.

    OK, pretty central. If you manage to squeeze the clubs in let us know and we can sort a few games out.

    As you can see from my thread I'm also heading over to Perth. I've never had a problem with clubs with QANTAS, golf bag normally weighs 14-15kg and weight limit is 32 kg per person so unless carrying heaps of other stuff you should be okay.

    I'll be in too JB, i live not far from Palmyra so some south of the river courses might suit, I suspect Adlo will want to play at the infamous Kennedy Bay, if so it might be worth going down and maybe the Nut might want to make the four? Or JC or anybody else??????
    As long as I get a spot I don't mind.

    I'll play whenever my life permits. Always play Saturdays, but wit daylight savings we can always play late arvo.

    Joondalup has $29 special for 9 holes after 5pm. Which could easily turn into 15 or 16 holes.

    JB, we can play at Geln Iris which is a descent public course. GolfNut may want to join us as well.
    If we go during the week I will take a day off work.

    Actually its twilight starts at 4 to 4:30pm depending who you speak to up there, so 18 is no problem....

    Hopefully g69 will make it more interesting!

    The new 8th and 9th open at the end of this month.
