We have a couple of National members on here, jonti and Bruce. Maybe reach out to them and see what their availabilities are.
Do yourself a favour and avoid the Old course while you're there.
Do us all a favour and lob grenades at it while you're there. Though it really feels like somebody already has, and built a "golf course" on top of it.

Lefty, saw a Twatter conversation about "best 4 hole stretches", some punter said 1-4 at National Old, almost choked on my cornflakes

If we are talking motorcross tracks, I'd kinda agree. But golf holes, sheesh....

**** me drunk, are you serious!?
I can't name a good 2 hole stretch on that ****ing abomination, let alone "best" and "4 hole".
I know we're all built differently, and everyone's entitled to their opinion, but how does anyone who rates Nash Old as a good course have enough brain cells to tie their own shoelaces in the morning?

16 (par 3) and 17 (par 5) on Old are pretty good imho!
I can see why people hate Old but I’ve played maybe 20 times and I enjoy it more every time I go there

Me too but it's not a course for people who spray their shots and have trouble on greens with lots of undulations.

I don't spray my shots or have trouble on undulating greens, and I still think it's the second worst golf course I've ever played.

Whoa there! While it's true that we also hated it, to suggest that we are capable of your level of hate is preposterous!

Pacific Harbour would have to rate very highly on the potential list of worst course.
