A-Z of courses played

[markTHEblake]

You'd go someway to find a more enjoyable course than Flinders, that is the polar opposite of National Old

Concur. I very much enjoy these old un-modernised tracks. Played a couple in Uk too.

[3Puttpete]

If that was the case I'd only have;

M... Melbourne West, Royal

O... Ocean Dunes

Hmmm

F - in the last three weeks, I have played Fairbairn and Federal. I could lend you one if you want.

Surely you can have a '***n Crannie' and count that

Crannie is a heckin' delight, and the second best course we played of the 5. No F'in there....

Hmmm. It was a long way 5th to me. If it wasn't in Victoria, it wouldn't be anywhere near the top 100 in the country.

Barely a thrilling approach all day. Maybe 11.

*checks scores for the day*

*nods*

Yup, story checks out.

[WBennett]

I am quite happy to separate quality of course from score. It seems you can't.

The first 8 holes are mehish - nothing special, maybe the 2nd.

9 is a good strong hole. 10 is good, 11 is good, 12 is difficult but ok considering the holes that follow. The back 9 is way better than the front (note I had about 10 points or so for the back), but its nowhere near as good a course as Mollymook, Narooma, Federal.

[3Puttpete]

I enjoyed them all and could happily be a member at any of them.

I'm perfectly capable of separating score from course.

A lot also has to do with conditioning. There wasnt a bad lie on that course. Fairways, tees and greens you could eat off, greens ran super true with no bumping, and the amount of sand in those bunkers was PERFECT.

There were no bad holes on that course, 5 or 6 Ho humm, and up to a dozen really good golf holes.

A shot / hole doesn't have to "look spectacular" for it to be a good design. That's for the "ocean view" phuckwits.

Sensible goes a ****ing long way on a golf course.

I was with you for most of that but you lost me late.

[ParkRoyal]

Is Cranbourne still slated to shut? Shame if it does.

For an ordinary part of suburban Melbourne (imo) its got 3 decent and very different courses close by. Northern and western suburbs are crying out for courses like these.

I believe there is some merge with Huntingdale on the cards that will see it eventually given over to housing.
It is also the venue of the infamous "shaking like a leaf" confrontation that made the news last year.

Sand in the bunkers was perfect?Fmd.They were the worst bunkers of the weekend!

I had absolutely no trouble with them. They required good technique to play from.

Guess you wanted more like these then....

[SundayHack]

I had it second also. Doubtful we have the same on top. 1.The Dunes 2.Cranbourne 3.Woodlands 4.Sandy Links 5.StAB. I don’t need to go back to either of the bottom 2

Also a venue where I won a TGF match play final that got * against it!
