    Played it a few times and only the playing partners made it memorable.

    Out of the way location, for anyone having a weekend/holiday in the Southern Highlands.

    It won't be missed.

    I played there maybe 5 times. It should have been better. And I will miss it for the memories of days I had there

    Looks like it hasn't closed yet and isn't being reported as a club under financial stress to clubs NSW. There is another one down there that is on the list looking to be taken over.... Highlands.

    Great moments down there, just a shame I could not go the full value of points on offer

    Tree Valley gone too, Tayla is going for a job in the Hungry Jacks alongside service station currently being built on the site.

    According to the leaked cabinet papers mentioned in this SMH article, it looks like Balgowlah GC gone permanently and half of Cammeray GC used during construction of the Northern Beaches Tunnel.

    I can't see Cammeray surviving with 4-5 holes closed for 5+ years.

    That's a bit of a shock, not that I frequented the place.

    Apparently more and more expensive and clubhouse and treatment of Golfers was appalling

    I never much rated the place.... and I got to play there fairly often as a work supplier was a member.

    Imagine buying a house near or along one of the fairways during development only to see the course disappear a decade and a half later.

    They should just revert the naming of the joint to Mango Hill and be done with it.

    Shame about Northlakes, it's actually not as bad as some of you make out.

    I played the course a few times in the early 2000s when visiting my brother whho was living in Brisbane at the time.

    I didn't think it was that bad either. Certainly no worse than a lot of the courses we have on offer in FNQ.

    One of my clients now lives in a property that I think overlooks the course, he'll be spewing.

    Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.

    It's not a done deal yet, application for development in with option for purchase if approved is my understanding.
