    Do you know if they still have Monday open days out there Capt? I've never played but would like to see what all the fuss is about. I hear nothing but good things about the place since the renovations which wasn't the case prior.

    It always disappointed me that it took so long to getting around to it.

    Even in the 80s when I was a callow youth and golf course architecture didn't really exist, we could all see the deficiencies. The sameness of the 1st and 4th and couple of holes over the back; overgrown, poor use of the dune land, dull greens, fiddly bunkers.

    Everyone could see it and yet nothing was ever done other than ghastly rebunkering work by some idiot that was just lipstick on a pig and didn't actually address the issues.

    I really must get back and have a hit at the old girl

    Time and money id say...
    That and probably the uncertainty of the land nearby that the waterboard or whoever owns and may want sometime in the future....
    I was pretty much assured that they won't have any issues with their parcel of land, well and truly after my time at the club is over.

    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
    Well I did bite the bullet and joined back in June, havnt looked back at all.
    Love the place, the course and practice facilities are second to none!
    Can't wait to play the new holes, from posts and aerials they look outstanding!

    I noticed the greens are pretty flat, no ridiculous slopes like on stage 1. Interesting that OCCM are back to review greens etc.

    15? Agreed. Par 3 13th is pretty stupid in my mind.

    15th needs a windmill and a fibreglass crocodile to fully recreate the putt-putt experience.
    You don't get me. I'm part of the Union.

    You were killing it!

    I got smashed with some loose shots early, and just didn't make many 10 ft putts to save anything.

    Only thing ill take away was the 3 birdies and the 4 iron on the last (which i still missed the putt!)
