Based on what I saw on the weekend it will need some very favorable growing conditions for the full course to be in play by the end of April. I hope it works out for you.

Thanks Bruce, I'm onto the organiser, would rather play an uncompromised Gunnamatta some other time. Happy to go around at St Andrews Beach and put the difference on the bar at the brewery opposite.

Good call.

Clearly been a while for me then and I usually played with members and never paid more than $60.


One thing I'm glad for down here in Tas is low Membership and green fees.

Member guest rates are whole different kettle of fish and a lot friendlier on the hip pocket.

Visitor rates to any of the big sandbelts you're getting **** all change out of $400.

As stated, If your game is on at the Old, you can have lots of short birdie tries. If it is off, it is severe.
I have had 68 around the Old….followed by a 92 next time I played it. That wouldn’t happen to me on most courses!

One thing that surprised me was $200 price tag on Woodlands, I really like it, but give me games at both StAB & Dunes for the same cash anyday.The greensite that always looked out of place for me at Woodlands was 9, considering the movement of the fairway it always felt plain to me.

Absolutely agree.

WGC is predominantly member play. Clubs will let u play but charge u appropriately for the premium.
StAB etc are visitor play in a price sensitive market. Too expensive and they starve, hence the greater affordability.

RMW is something like $750 for an unaccompanied visitor from overseas - members guest is significantly less.

About $120 accompanying a member at RM.

Makes sense as it's rated one of the top 5 courses in the world.

It also helped very much that Andigold had a connection with the GM, and that we were playing it at 2:30pm on a Thursday.

Makes me appreciate it even more.

How can u lot say that?
3 to 8 is a great run of holes plus 15 is one of the very best par 5’s in the country.

#4 is probably my favourite short 4 in golf and I have played every where!

Are you talking about woodlands?

If so 3-8?? 3 yes, 4 YES, 5 yeah, 6 is boring, similar to but weaker than 9 at Royal Adelaide, 7 Yes, 8 yes-ish. The highlight of that run is definitely 4 and the combo of 3 into 4 is great.

15 as one of the best part 5’s in the country is a bit of a stretch.

Bland tee shot, somewhat interesting second with a bit of risk/reward thinking in play and the green is solid. The 2nd is a waaaaaaaay better par 5 than 15 but I wouldn’t even call that one of the best.

Only ever play Ambrose there... It's soul destroying otherwise

Its like Blondes and Brunettes Bushy. We all choose to agree and disagree. The teeshot seems bland (yes) but you r up shit creek on the second shot if your teeshot is not on the fwy. The green is a absolute killer! Most well travelled sandbelt dudes rate it…but I respect your opinion.

Member's guest are $135 at RM and Kingston Heath

[petethepilot]

Cheap!

Member-Guest rate I am aware of: *Unless they went up in '23 as not 100% sure on that

RM is $135.00
PK is $125.00
Kinston Heath is $150.00
Metro is $130.00

Edit: I went and looked back at info for our trip. TS is right RM is $750.00 plus you have to take a caddie. All 4 above require a caddie be taken if you play unaccompanied.

The Cut for me is like The Old course to you. The more I play it, the more I enjoy it.

I just have to accept that the smart plays to finish are 7 or 8 iron off the tee on the par 4 17th and 6 iron off the tee on the par 5 18th.

6 iron over the marker in the bush?

Yes of course. I appreciate the difference in perspectives - It’s a great never ending debate.

6 iron at the marker, actually gives you a chance at keeping it in the fairway.

Even with a good drive it’s a 3 shotter having to go up the huge hill to the green.

It’s so hard to hit the fairway, there’s not point in risking the tee shot.
