Will try and add Bonville next year. I've always been keen for a road trip down that way.

Only 20 this year a few must have dropped off thought I would have played more than that.
Not sure if I will add to it next year though.

[AndyP]

I've played 33 of them. I temporarily take the lead.

[adlo]

Wait for Andrew to post his total. I'd guess he's played 125 out of the top 100

[WBennett]

15, but I have never played north of Sydney (ok, 9 holes at Coolum) or west of Melbourne.

And how Gold Creek makes that list I'll never know. Condition is super, but it holds 1/10th the interest of a good country track like Narrandera.

[mikezone13]

Gee.. only 8 for me... I need to get out of Sydney more

[BrisVegas]

Brookie if I get an invite from BV

any time hux. As I've said before, there's an open invite for ozgolfers and there's a cheap Sunday arvo guest deal coming up in 2009.

I've got nothing! Closest I came.... Used the driving range at Laguna Quays.

Turtle Point at Laguna Whitsundays, long a top ranked course with exceptional playing surfaces dropped down the rankings largely as a result of deterioration in course conditioning. It is to be hoped that finances will permit this layout to return to its former glory and the proposed second and third courses to be completed at this tropical paradise.

They couldn't even manage to water the tee for the driving range! I hit half a bucket & walked away!
I was going to have a round on the day, but from what I saw from the road I decided against it. I pulled over & walked onto one of the greens.... More weeds than my front garden! Might as well keep driving & have a round at Proserpine instead.
I highly doubt they'll ever complete the other courses, they can't even afford to maintain the one they currently have.
The whole "Laguna International Airport" thing has quietened down of late too.
Good to see they were honest in their review.

Can't wait for the new course to open up here. First 9 will be open mid next year, and the remainder early 2010.

Gee... only 16 for me... I need to get out of NSW more

[goughy]

Woo Hoo - 2 for me. Maybe 3, but I'm pretty sure when I played Indooroopilly it was the west course!

[dc68]

FFS!!! Who are Keperra paying?

[damoocow]

FFS!!! Who are Keperra paying?

I don't have a problem with Keperra on the list and also believe Pacific should be in there as well - I do have a problem though with Palm Meadows in that 100 - i think the term 'overpriced goat track' would more accurately describe PM...

[shazza_rs]

guess we won't see you for the champs next year then oh well!

[damoocow]

Shaz, I know you are a PM fan ! - have the champs for 09 been organised already ?

[shazza_rs]

i wouldn't say fan... i wouldn't call it an overpriced goat track though

[Hux]

Haven't been at Pacific for a while but it was always a better course than Keperra's main course...unless things have changed dramatically.

Well BV we will have to get out in the NY. I am keen to see what all the fuss is about.
I have a cousin (of sorts) who is either an assistant pro or a trainee out there - have to check with the olds again.

[damoocow]

i wouldn't say fan... i wouldn't call it an overpriced goat track though

OK maybe I was a bit too negative...the condition of PM is similar to most Brissie members courses [the course / fairways and surrounds actually remind me a lot of Redcliffe] and it does have in its favour the fact that it has a hotel across the road.....I do think that $75 for a round on that type of track is over the top and if Shavey is right, the price next year will be over the $100 mark- in terms of value for money for a course we play the champs on and having visitors flying in from all corners I feel sure we can do better..

[damoocow]

Did you and Pete play there today ? - what was the cost ?

[shazza_rs]
