Courses to play?

[Sydney Hacker]

I have the good fortune of being home by myself for a week from this Friday coming until the following Sunday so thought I might take a drive to the west of Melbourne and check out some areas I haven't got to yet. Are there any must play courses within say a 5 hour drive from the Yarra Valley?

Preference would be to find somewhere reasonably dry, given the slop around at the moment!

Along the coast possibly.Herd Port Fairy is good

Port Fairy is brilliant. I spent the weekend in Warrnambool, so I can say with some authority that they have had plenty of rain down that way, but I'd still go and play Port Fairy. I think that would be the ultimate 'road trip' course in Victoria. It's on sand dunes, so you only need a dry day and it will be much better than a muddy inland track. It's a well presented course, right on the coast with great views and a nice part of the world to visit. You can't go wrong. I played it on a rainy day a few years back and copped a massive drenching over the last 6 holes, and I still enjoyed every minute.

There are plenty of other options on the way there and back - how many rounds did you want to fit in?

Headed there for 4 days in November, its a stunning track. Just ring around, lots of clubs beginning to core greens

Port Fairy and Warrnambool the picks of the tracks along that route past Geelong. Cobden a cheerful little 14 holer that I quite enjoy, and next would be..........
