had the pleasure of playing at the national in november on a tour moonah in the am, the old, pm and have to say it was the best experience i have had on a golf course anywhere in the world the moonah was immaculate from tee to green very tough and demanding but also fair, and good shots were rewarded we played it off the back markers and i have to say the final 5 holes are the toughest finish i have experienced, only disappointment was we had to walk the course as they were worried about wear and tear on the course from carts, they must be joking did not need a sand bucket only a vacuum and could have played in my slippers it was like carpet , if get the opportunity take it

What a playground this part of the world is for golf. I've been lucky enough to play the Moonah course twice, and it's as good as any links course in Australia. It's as good as Moonah Links, as good as New South Wales, probably better than Hope Island, and rates well against Royal Birkdale and other links types in the UK.

It's aesthetically invigorating, the quality of the tees, fairways and greens are superb, and the layout is just superb.

The 16th would be close to thte toughest par 4 I've ever played. 400m off the blue tees (440 from the blacks...), from an elevated tee you must cross the valley to the next hill if you want any chance at all of reaching the green. If a southerly is blowing this 200m carry needs a monster drive, which if off line ends in typical links bunkers and leaves you with little option but to lay up. The second again needs to carry a valley to a two-tiered green set against a steep hill, with bunkers in front. The bale out area is back and right, but unless you have a northerly wind there's little chance of using those options.

A great challenge and one you'll relish if you're playing well.

There are many great holes and I recommend you grab a chance to play this magnificent course.
