WA Golf Courses

[adlo]

I have never played there, apparently quite nice, and fairly close to Nedlands area.

Looks like $1500ish plus a small nomination.

There is a member on these forums who could be the sponsor I'm sure.

I think I'd get sick of a 9 holer pretty quick (unless its name is Binningup)

I agree. Seems pricey for 9 holes and have played there for pennants a few years ago. Tee times may be an issue on comp days.

[idgolfguy]

Gosnells... agreed.

When are we playing Kwinana? I am sick of hearing about it.

I'd be interested in playing there at some stage too.

OK, lets head there. JC has a mate who is a member, we may be able to play in the comp there.

[idgolfguy]

Say when!

Like Adlo says, Kwinana is definitely no KB but is an excellent parklands course indeed that plays very long (probably one of the longest in the Perth area) meaning you have to work really hard on the long par 4's.
Have had a few rounds there this year and have thoroughly enjoyed the course despite the score.
This would be my choice of clubs to join along with KB....very good value for money.
Looking forward to heading back there very soon.

Funnily enough I checked out Mosman Park Golf Club yesterday (didn't play though)....quite a busy little 9 holer also in excellent condition...only issue I could see is that there seemed to be a higher proportion of players that were quite old (nothing against the oldies) but it can make for a slower game if your stuck behind them.
From memory the nom. fee was around $250 and the annual fee was about $1250 so bascially on par with Kwinana....I know where my money would be going.

I set something up for the second half of the month if Marty is in town. (works away)

Mossy Park - no nomination, $1200 per year for 7 days, can be paid off in installments. Friendly bunch of guys - nice track in the fremantle doctor ... need to put it in the right spots (now I wouldn't be a member there would I ...)

Definitely an older crew - rounds on Sat morning a 4 - 4.5 hours .... saturday arvo a bit longer .... its not the oldies who slow it down, there are a few players who play as quickly as the pros ....

[Golfnut]

Hmmmm....not what I got quoted on Wednesday chopper....I was told the 6 day rate was just under $1100 + nomination fee!?!? Oh well, probably not one i'll join anyway

Well I could be mistaken - I didn't think we had a nomination fee ... certainly haven't seen any note about it .....

GN - its not a bad place if you like the hills .... in terms of value for money in the area, it and seaview are the best (but I think that mp outshines seaview) ....

Edit: off the MPGC website - I'm living in a dream world ...

Thats what i saw on the website and wasn't overly impressed, though i don't know the track well enough to know.

I am not a huge fan of 18 holes and only 9 fairways as i find it quite slow and can only accommodate limited players at any one time, not to say this course is not great, I am also not too sure where I will be living long term, family in Cottesloe, so whilst I am settling in I will be staying there.

Being realistic, a game of golf takes 4.5 hours (maybe a quickie could take 4 hours) then add in socialising and its not a quick game, you don't get much change from an afternoon. So a couple hours driving compared to 15mins each way doesn't seem to make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things.
I quite often travel 45mins each way here but thats because golf is free.

I'll check out clubs when I get there, but for all the ranting and ravings about KB it will be quite hard to pass over, especially if they will honour that special they have on their website (it does say by the 31st of Jan though).

Does KB have any reciprocal clubs, or does Kwinana for that matter?

Thanks Guys

KB has reciprocals with Sun City and Sanctuary (Bunbury). Both decent courses.

The special at KB will be worthless for you by the time you get over here. However, drop myself of Johnny Canuck a line when you are here are come out for a look. Given the nature of the course, the majority of the field plays Sat AM before the wind gets too strong.

KB is a solid track and well worthy of the accolades it has received over the years.

[Johnny Canuck]

hey aldo, get in the match play. 57 people right now. new high score!!! how long you away for? get in, get in my bracket and then default when you go away!

[adlo]

I am in, signed up today. Away June 24 to July 17, so I will default the semi if I made it (highly unlikely)

[Golfnut]

Well that's nice....booked to play out at Kwinana for early Sunday morning and my mates just bailed on me at 11pm....great form....oh well sleep in but it sucks, was really looking forward to it too.

[Johnny Canuck]

go anyway. golfing on your own is a great way to practice.

[Golfnut]

Very true JC, do it mid week but at least 1 once a week with a partner keeps me sane......God I need to join a club

Yes you do.

Will wait for an update from JC.

After waiting for simmsy to get me out on Hartfield CC for the past year, I took matters into my own hands and played 18 out there this afternoon with rebjon and Johnny Canuck's favourite golfer, Nuffie

Great track. Despite being dead flat it never feels boring. A great mix of holes, the only thing lacking is a short par 4 or two, and a short par 5. However, nice doglegs, superb bunkering. Kike fairways were lush (albeit narrow!) and the greens were fast and true. Overall, one of the best parkland members tracks in Perth and a real sleeper in my opinion. Possibly a better track than Yokine or Mt Lawley in my opinion. That may create a bit of controversy.....

Simmsy, I can see why you created a thread about getting out of those bunkers LW is your friend!
