hi from melb.

[slicer]

hi, just joined and wondering what good public courses in melb ?

[Flowergirl]

Hiya Slicer and welcome to a fellow Victorian. I see you live at Beaconsfield. Is Beacon Hills a private or public course. I've played there twice and it is a great course - good challenge. We are playing them in pennant today at Devil Bend. Cross your fingers for us for a win.
Keep your eye on the forum and maybe you could join us when us Vics get together for a game.

[goughy]

Yeah, keep an eye in the 1st tee forum for any of the Vic games. You'd be more than welcome.

I'm guessing you have a problem with hitting at the right side of the fairway??

[Jarro]

G'day slicer

[Grunt]

Welcome Slicer, guess you are a member of the left to right ballflight club too.

Hi slicer and welcome to the funny farm...

Try Kingston Links, Beacon Hills, Montuna and Pakenham (if it's still operational). They are all near you. Heaps of others depending on how far you want to travel.

FG - Beacon Hills takes green fee paying customers. Although you can take out a membership there.

Go to Southern. If it isn't a public course, it should be.

whats that supposed to mean?

[Shaneo]

welcome!!!
i live in boronia so i'm not too far away.
nearby clubs, chuchill park, waverley (if you like powerlines) riversdale, huntingdale, metropolitain.
just depends on how far you want to drive
i'm a member of southern and it's come along in leaps and bounds, the greens now are so good and the fairways are the best you'll find anywhere, except royal melbourne coz they have no fairways at the moment.

It's feral central.

Ask Pyongyang.

What's he a feral expert is he ?

[sms316]

What's he a feral expert is he ?

He epitomises all that is feral.

Rumor has it that letting fireworks off on the course at Southern doesn't even raise an eyebrow.

[AndyP]

So you judge the golf club based on your opinion of one member? We have at least two other members of Southern on this forum.

[sms316]

They surely can't be as odd as the other one.

[AndyP]

Perhaps your issues should be kept to the golf forum where they originated.

[Courty]

I found Southern had a lot better clientele than a lot of the Top 100 courses I've played at.

[AndyP]

Of the public courses listed above, I've only played Kingston Links. I think it was the first course I played in Melbourne. It seemed pretty good. Really open and bloody blowy though.

[PeteyD]

I think he is trying to carry the Southern bashing over form the porn forum.

[Shaneo]

southern is a great club
yes there are some indifferent members there but you get it everywhere.
the only reason that some people call it 'bogan central' is because the people around there are all friendly and love to have a drink after the game.
i reckon it's great that happens, thats how you get to know a lot of the members.
there's a couple of clubs around that are a bunch of snobs but not our boys.
another nice club is spring valley, great people down there too.

My apologies shaneo. Obviously every club has dickheads, my shit stir was aimed at 1 person. Didn't realise their were others here.
