    Default Victoria Golf Club

    Played Victoria yesterday.

    Simply amazing layout and course. Not a bad hole on it

    Even better experience if you play twice, stay the night, have a beer out of the pewter mugs in the bar and have dinner.

    I'm amazed how you can remember golf holes, I can't even remember the ones on my home course!

    Yet to play RMW, I am sure it will top Vic.
    Tough split between KH and Vic for me Original_Benno. Need to play them both again but I think I found Vic a bit more fun. KH was a stern test, however maybe as close to a flawless course as I have ever played. Probably a 5/5 split

    I can remember every hole at good courses I play. I remember greens, pin positions etc. I barely remember a thing about Yering.

    And buggered if I remember which day the kids wear which school uniform!

    Driver, 5 iron that rolled through the green, left a 40 footer 3 foot short and tapped in for birdie.

    Didn't matter as you played a miraculous recovery over the left trap to 3 foot-ish to make the birdie, and with your ill-gained stroke, I lost the hole and the match. FFS

    Your retelling of it is as glorious as my memories of it.

    Happy days.

    I prefer to remember the day when I rolled in a 40 footer for par on the 18th at RMW to beat AndyP.

    I struggle to remember the match this year against Courty, as it wasn't overly competitive...

    Victoria is a great course no doubt; staying overnight gives you an experience that you will never forget. It ain't a 5* hotel mind you (and you do have to pay for the privilege + wear a blazer for tea) but if your into golf history there is nowhere better to spend the night.

    As good as it is, it certainly is no contest to either of its neighbouring courses (RMW & RME)

    The members I played with were very friendly and accommodating

    Worth every penny of the $300+ you will spend on the experience staying overnight - do it!
