WA Golf Courses

[idgolfguy]

I have always enjoyed Hartfield. I believe it's an underated course. I think Yokine is a different style as the slopes come into play as does the breeze.

Have not played Mt Lawley - probably try to get a round there during the Holden Scramble this year.

I think that is why Hartfield is great, it makes the most out of the site.

Yokine is on amazing land with great undulation and city views. Perhaps it slightly underachieves.

Gents (and ladies), if you're interested in playing the Vines.
The current deal is $35 for 18 on either course if you're with a member.

Yes, yes and yes. Nuffie mentioned that today. That is awesome value for The Vines. When do you play?!!

[idgolfguy]

Anytime - just have to try to schedule work around it or on the weekend.

[adlo]

Cool, midweek a good option for me with work pretty quiet, however need to tee of by 2pm to get 18 in.

[idgolfguy]

Just need a day or two's advance so I can start work early and head off from work at lunch.

I'm not sure, but if you play scroungers on Wednesday, it could be $25 instead. Either that or they have made comp rounds $35 too. Will have to check.

[adlo]

OK mate, talk soon.

[idgolfguy]

No probs - can book online and away we go!

After waiting for simmsy to get me out on Hartfield CC for the past year, I took matters into my own hands.....

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

Thanks for the invite lads!!!!
I was out there yesterday on the range and then played 10-13, it's the first hit i've had since my little op back in Feb so been struggling to get out there myself.
Adlo, I'm sorry i failed you mate, we do have to get out there for a hit one day though. The way work is going i could soon have lots of time to play golf!!!!




Those bunkers need a different kind of approach don't they Adlo? That crusty layer just does my head in sometimes. Will be playing my first round of golf there this arvo for over 2 months. It will be bad.

simmsy, just messing with you., I know you haven't been well.

Hopefully you get back into it. And it sounds like a few of us might have more golfing time with the upcoming recession!

[adlo]

69er, keep us posted. I'm a big chance to be there, which I am sure has just made your day.

[rebjon]

Heads up lads.
I will be visiting your wonderful state next month and almost assured of playing The Cut on Wednesday morning May 6th.

Might even pop into Binningup on Sunday the 3rd on the way down to Marg River.

So can I guess Margs is getting some work done ???

Cute little course down there.......

If you get a chance check out Bunbury....

69er would need to work out how NOT to start tee shots 30m left of the fairway at Bunbury....

'twas certainly the case for me, golf was one of the few things keeping me sane during the job hunt. 2 1/2 months was worrying at first, but now that I have a job lined up, I am enjoying my holidays.

[adlo]

So you are moving to WA for certain?

[vovo]

So you are moving to WA for certain?

Yep, flying next week, though most of my stuff including my clubs will be taking the train, which takes a while longer.

[adlo]

Early Sunday morning is a toss up between Bunbury and Binningup.

You will love either.

However, if you head to Binningup, please start planning on how to redeem the 8th hole. It is so bad. We decided our best idea is to move the green forward closer to the start of the pond (clear some vegetation on the RHS). There is a Tiger tee up the back if the hole needs to retain some length.

[adlo]

That part of the equation is proving to be tricky @ Binningup.

They obviously have no problems massacring quality dogleg par 4's though.

[adlo]

69er, I bet that land is making you.....

[Scottt]

A couple of pics of the new site.

With so many bunkers already there, what's left for Ross to do?

[Yossarian]

You guys are making me well jealous, i've only played public courses in Perth. These private ones sound fantastic

[adlo]

Had a look around Lakelands for the first time today.

While the course is certainly nothing special, the greens were beautiful. A touch too firm, but so true and so consistent.

Lakelands is a poorer cousin of courses like Hartfield and Bunbury, but still an enjoyable course. IMO Hartfield makes much better use of a "flat paddock" area that they are both built on.

And it is rated ACR 72 which surprised me. I played pretty poorly and quite comfortably had 34 points. On a good day you could smash that course.

Did you notice the retarded short par 4?
