    I have played The Doon a fair bit over the years including a couple of times in the last two months and I think the course has gone backwards. I am of the opinion that the course needed a revamp however the work to date does not impress me. The new holes still have to grow in but you could not pay me enough to be a member there.

    Given most of us (including myself) haven't played there since the redesign, can you list a few other tracks in Sydney that you consider to be better/worse/similar to where BD's new holes are at?
    Forum needs more banter.

    There is only one course that comes to mind that I have played in Sydney that I would say is similar and that is The Lakes which was designed by the same team. The fairways are guarded by expansive sandy waste areas, the putting surfaces are complex with a lot of undulation and a lot of trees have been removed. I like the style of holes 1 & 2 which were the 9th & 10th on the old Bonnie Doon layout. I liked the bunkering both in the fairway and around the greens. The putting surface has contours that will move an errant shot away from the pin and reward good shots. I think the work St Michael's has done on the waste areas between holes 6, 7, 8 and 9 as well as 10 and 18 blends in more with the layout yet is still effective.

    All that said I am sure there are plenty of people that will enjoy the course but its not for me.

    Got invited to an Open Day last sat by Serrz (Dave) on here.
    First time ive played the new holes since completion.
    Lovely day for golf, we both played very well, 39 for me 40 for him (burglar)!
    Im very impressed with the new holes.
    Clayton looks like hes done a great job, clearing it all out and making it very linksy and visually appealing.
    The new holes look to have bedded down well.
    The driving range and practice facilities are outstanding!
    Love to see it in 5 years once its all done
    Id join there in a heatrtbeat could i afford it.
    Happy to come for a hit with you Dave, anytime!!!!1

    Stage 2 will be within 6 months I think they are saying.

    Got to say I am glad I joined! Eventually it'll be really good.

    He probably thought 30* was a bit too warm for you.

    Only kidding, but a hit down the track would be nice.

    Your game will surely benefit...

    and I predict your golf hoing is going to double as a result of being so close to wonder over and test things out!

    Well done but word of warning. ITs a private club and they are not going to appreciate you spilling your guts on everything that goes on there. Never under any circumstances mention the name of another member on a public forum such as this or you will be hauled in front of the committee

    Thanks for advice Westy, I've been a member of a previous club for a long time so I know what goes on. Don't think I've mentioned anyone's name, nor would I....
    Where do you play out of curiosity?

    I play over t'other side at Karrinyup. But lived for years in Sydney and know Bonnie very well from the old days.

    I seem to recall some years back, a member of staff at Bonnie was one some chat board blabbing about all sorts of things and dropping the names of high profile members into every sentence. He thought he was doing the right thing talking the place up, but the committee did not share his view.

    Mate, I think that applies for most clubs wouldn't it....
    As if I'm going to come on here and start carrying on about a club I've just joined!
    It's an absolute pleasure and honour to be at such a club and the renovations/ improvement they are doing are outstanding. It will truly be one of the top clubs in Sydney when it's all done, no doubting that.
