    Default Sydney Trip/Game

    Looks like I will be in Sydney for a conference on the 6th (all day) and 7th (morning) of March...will try to take the afternoon off..

    Jean will prob make the trip to Sydney as well...

    Where's a decent place to play close to the city???
    Looking for prob Friday PM t off...

    Not sure if we'll be in Sydney on Saturday, but I doubt we could get a decent t-off time on a Saturday morning anyway...

    NSWGC is great - but pricey - $145.

    Otherwise, I'd suggest either The Coast or St Micks.

    The only place you'd get a Sat morning time would be Macarthur Grange, Camden Lakeside or maybe Riverside Oaks (all pretty far from the city)

    cheers amanda...

    if it's too much of a hassle to get a game friday pm, we might just catch the afternoon flight back to Perth then...

    How far is Royal Sydney from the city?? Might finally make use of my RPGC reciprocal...

    If you got it, flaunt it.

    Chase it up with RSGC, because if you can get on you're laughing. It's 20 mins (in traffic) from the centre of the CBD.

    How much is membership at your club in Brunei?

    What Dan said, play Royal, close to town, and at your price certainly worth it.

    Mau - it's tough to get on there even when you know someone who knows someone who knows someone.......... Just don't tell them you're name is Mau Goldenstein or similar

    I played RSGC yesterday and they've started the program readying the course for the 2006 Aussie Open, growing the rough is one of the first focus areas, so it's worth playing as the greens are in top shape (they weren't the usual RSGC speed but the surfaces are excellent), fairways and tees are the usual high standard, the bunkers will just eat you up.

    RSGC is certainly worth the trip, like Dan said, only 20 mins (tops) from the CBD........

    flight schedule means I arrive in Sydney Thursday @ 620am - conference starts at 8ish...
    Finishes Friday noon time, then we're going on a boat cruise on the river in the arvo - so there goes that time slot, flight back to Perth Sat mid morning...

    cheers for all the feedback tho...

    Yep, exactly 4 weeks in Feb, so it's the same for both months.
