So I guess this is the way that Adlo would prefer it done. So GN, this is where we get to work out when and where we do this.
So, as Marvin Gaye said:

How's about Sun City? I've never played there.
You mean dogleg city?
crap boring course.
but with your length and r to l shape you will blow GN out the water.
just go to the best public access parkland track in an hours drive of perth -
Mandurah C.C
enough said.
Pretty good course from what I hear though. Straight away holes are sooooo boring!
Jees you guys are quick....that was in response to SC.
You could play royal freo with your recip rights... Oh wait
Yoss, you could play RF with your Recip rights....
oh wait.. your Mum won't let you out for play time 'til you've finished your homework.
^^^.......simmsy paying out tonight.....
Where is Sun City anyway?....sounds like it could be in a Miami Vice episode or something.
Yanchep.
Pass......way too far away unless it was for an official sanctioned Ozgolf get together.
What's your location MW....besides Meh....
Wattle Grove. Hartfields close.
yeah but by the sounds of it you played like a sissy mary who choked on a hotdog at about the 14th.
MW don't choke. he's the real deal!
It is OK. Nothing special. On the plus side, it is nice and undulating and dead quiet midweek. Other than that it is a bit monotonous.
Naturally grippy
Haven't played there in years - didn't mind it from past memory.
Don't get it mixed up with the public course that is there too.

I think we all know Dog Leg City iTree.

GN. You played Mandurah?
Me neither. Perhaps we should do that? All the boys rave about it.
Perhaps you young blokes won't know but back in the 90s, Sun City was held in the same esteem as KB is at the moment. A difficult course that is a test when the weather is up. I don't know the conditioning these days as they have had a cash flow problems in the past. In those days, the trees weren't as high on those doglegs. Similar to courses of that generation, Hartfield, Vines, Yokine etc. the trees have grown and kept on growing.
To play the Sun City well, you have to play the way it was designed. Very similar to the Vines and KB. These are courses that require to use the landing areas and slopes to gain more distance. The clubs that hit the ball high with spin just don't work the fairways enough. They get the ball up in the air and land soft. Some manipulation is required to make the ball run.
Off the Blues and Blacks, you have to carry 220-250m to have a chance to fly the doglegs. Otherwise, you take driver and aim to run through the dogleg to have a fair chance of making it to the green. A hybrid type club, generally, is not going to give you the distance nor the run, unless you know how to hit that way.
So you can't, in all honesty, complain that is a poor course design. You have to learn to play the course the way the designer set it up. For some, due to its length, the greens maybe beyond regulation because you don't have the right tools. You just have to step up in the chipping and pitching part of your game.
I have never heard a good player complain that Sun City is a poor design. The ones that I have played with have always said that it is a great course.
