Hi All,

I've scoured through a few pages of course threads, but couldn't really find anything relevant or recent for my query. So here goes.

I may be in a position shortly where I am forced to move from Sydney to Melbourne for work. Currently, I'm a member at Bonnie Doon in Sydney. For my golf, it ticks every box and I really love the club (my only complaint is management). I would argue it is a 'top tier' club in Sydney.

In browsing around possible courses in Melbourne, it seems challenging to find something equivalent that is:

1) Somewhat affordable (in the vicinity of 3k for a 5 day membership)
2) Actually achievable to join without multiple connections
3) Doesn't have a huge waiting list
4) Has practice facilities including at least a 200m driving range

Is what I am looking for realistic in Melbourne? I am not particularly fussed on location, certainly not after inner city.
