Stay as far away from the horrible rough as possible, avoid the traps, dont go when its windy, watch your ball shoot off the back of the greens. It's a really nice course. ;)
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Belairs greens were allegedly poisoned not long ago, hence the reason half of them are brown. There is absolutely no excuse for the tees though....they resemble more of a bunker than a tee block.

Played Willunga recently and that is a magnificent course. Only par 70 and short though.

Also playing at Wirrina recently (using that free membership they offered last year) and that is in pretty good knick. Some of the greens need a bit of work but otherwise all good.

While the Pat is busy on the Par 72, it is in great condition except for the crap they got going for the 12th temp hole.

I played at Belair a month ago and cant believe they still charge that much when the course is in the condition it is......

Golf courses dont have any excuse with the weather we have had.... Tea Tree Gully have done an exceptional job in re building the 6th Green in a very short time!

I havent played there personally
but My bro played there at start of january and said it is the worst course he has ever played on.
Said it was over priced and in shit condition
for the extra 10-15min, I would drive to willunga and play a good course that is cheaper also!

Wouldn't even set foot in the place. They might as well dig up the greens and turn the whole thing into a country course with scrapes and everything.

The place hasn't been watered properly for something like 5 or more years now.

Played at Tanunda Pines a few weeks ago and it was bloody hot !!!

Course was in pretty good nic and was impressed with it having not played there for almost 10 years prior.

I haven't played Nuri in a long time but from memory, there are some tough holes and it is a fairly up and down course.

Playing there in about 6 weeks with our social club group...

Played in the SA Ambrose Championship on Sunday at Victor Harbor. Course in great nick as usual.

We managed to win the Nett Championship too! We hit a 64 (nett 55 and 5/8), which remarkably didnt even get us in the top 5 in the Gross comp...

Next game at North Adelaide in a weeks time (14th- South Course).

Lady Bay last friday - course wasnt in as good a shape as usual, probably due to the heat over summer. Still a great challenge and really enjoyable

another round at the south course at the PAT

held up early, not bad through the middle and held up for the last 8 or so holes

went around in 88, should have been a lot better then that

highlight was knocking one in from the 100m marker on the 4th hole after being waved through by the couple playing ahead - always nice to leave the putter in the bag :D :lol: just doesnt happen often enough
