    I've got a Sunday spare, what's the best option near CBD for a hit??

    If you can get on karrinyup that’s best and probably 15-20 from the cbd?

    Default Must play courses - Perth

    Meadow Springs is a good track IMO. Have they completed the changes to Kennedy Bay? If so definitely worth a game

    Both do require a bit of a drive.

    If you can get on lake karrinyup that is the best. My order near CBD would be Mt Lawley, Cott then WA Golf Club.

    Kennedy is only 9 holes at the moment but they are all pretty good.

    If you want a loong drive Sun City is a lot of fun.

    What day are you playing Royal Freo?

    If you decide that you don’t mind a bit of a drive, Araluen is worth a hit.

    Thanks

    Down Freo on Tuesday lunch time.

    Sunday's game might be up in the air so have to play by ear

    Well I played the cut. It reminded me a bit of magenta with the strategy all be it a bit wider in some parts.

    I hit a great drive on 18 straight over the red and white marker and was about 250 out.

    Few holes I think you would need to play a few times to really get the hang of. Otherwise enjoyable I thought

    Definitely seems to divide people from what I've read. Coming from somewhere like Magenta which isn't too different it feels a lot better than most may feel about it. I take less than driver most weeks on a few par 5 's so nothing out of the usual.

    I played royal Fremantle as well. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I guess I just take on the different styles and dont really have a dislike for either.

    I can see the difference between somewhere like RF that you can definitely overpower with length vs somewhere like the cut where you can overpower it but the ever looming miss makes you consider your choices a touch more.

    Play whatever track makes you happy I guess

    The Cut is a deeply flawed golf course, the front 9 is the better 9 from a strategic point of view.

    The back 9 looks quite nice but is genuinely ***ed as a golf experience IMO.

    The sandbelt hangover, it really can leave you in the doldrums.

    Sadly, Perth should be wonderful to play golf….but isn’t.
    WA missed out when Dr Mac bypassed WA on his trip to Melb (you could say the same about Sydney golf as well although he did spend some time at NSWGC).
    Alex Russell spent time at LKCC but he doesn’t appear to have influenced much else in the West.

    I was speaking to a Mt Lawley member on the weekend and he was very positive about the changes happening there. Lawley has the best land in Perth, but the course has always been very underwhelming.

    If the four new holes they've built at Kennedy Bay are any indication, the new course, upon completion, will be very very good.
