I played this and the Presidents course during May and secured a spot in their club championships so playing from the tips the first day shot 81 off a 10 h'p, the first time I'd ever seen the place so of course it's a beaut place, the fairways are generous the greens are honest and the bunkering superb.
For any level of golfer it's offers picturesque beauty and a challenge, the locals play this all the time and have no need to travel afar for their golfing stimulus.

I'd rate it for Sydney-siders a little easier than St Micks and for s.e Queenslanders similar to Coolangatta-Tweed Heads(west) but not as hard.

Amidst the Murray River playground, Tocumwal seems to often be given short shrift when comparing to Yarrawonga, Cobram and the like. In my opinion the Captain's Course is in the same league as the best of the other courses in the region.

Quality bunkering adds an aesthetic appeal that adds to the overall enjoyment of the game, so when coupled with firm, true greens, you have a display that is a good test and a fun day on the course.

Length off the tee is occasionally required and rewarded - such as on the long Par 4 7th - but there are also challenges that necessitate placement and a nerveless approach to a short shot.

The back nine is a treat as you wind through beautiful old gums that mostly allow a generous fairway - except for a narrow shute driving from the Par 5 12th.

And near the end the short 17th is a delight from an elevated tee and with a small green to hit.

Value for money is amazing - only a handful of Sydney courses could match this one for quality, yet it's at the price of a sleeve of golf balls...
