NM28, spent a fair bit of time in the south-east and lucky to play all the gems down there and trust me Millicent is one of them. Can be a bit tricky for the first time player, lots of doglegs and blind approaches to greens, so first time around you might not appreciate it, but the more you play it, the more you realise how good it is. This obviously taking into account, size of club, number of greens staff, etc. etc.
When it is brought up for an event, would be one of my favourites, absolute gem. BUT, keep out of the bracken fern, I lost a couple of playing partners in there once. If you hit it in there, just re load, although the snakes probably hibernating by now.
Get him to take you out a couple of times and you'll get a real appreciation the second time around. Good luck.
Yeah cheers mate im gonna head there for a couple weeks for the sole purpose of playing golf, so hoping to get out there a fair bit. even if I hack it up you always appreciate a nice course
NM28, if you are going for a few weeks, sure play a bit at Millicent and enjoy the 19th, but also try some of the other gems down in the south-east and over the border.
- Mt Gambier (Attamurra) would be one of the best country courses around.
- Naracoorte, tough little bugger, but worth a visit.
- Penola, good for a visit and bit of fun.
- Edenhope, see Millicent review without the hills, very worth a visit.
- Horsham, absolute gem.
- Lucindale, quality track.
- Portland, never stopped raining and always wet under foot, would give a miss.
- Heywood, OK, but not my favourite.
- Dartmoor, tricky little 9 hole track, play only if passing through.
- Bordertown, excellent course, fantastic greens.
- Keith, really enjoy this course off the beaten track.
- Casterton, only played it once, but very like Naracoorte.
- Warnambool, tough, always windy, but if in town with the clubs, worth a visit.
- Hamilton, had my best round in the south east here, absolute day out, but didn't rate the course that highly.
- Robe, the three holes out the back make this course worthy of playing, but very back and forward.
- Kingston, 18 holes, given size of town, worth a round if in town.
- Beachport, if you like wind, play here, if you don't, give it a miss, won't bother you if you don't play here.
- Meningie (Lake Albert), right on the Highway as you drive through, haven't played here, but have been told very special.
You might wonder how I got to play all these tracks, well shift work helps, plus an understanding missus. I think you will also find that with all the rain we have had, these courses will all be in absolute prime condition. Enjoy your golfing holiday.
) pretty happy with how I went in the end.
