A well established course that falls short in the fairways and greens department.

I found at times I was punished after hitting good drives on to fairways that many golfers would consider the rough.

The greens on a whole are average but there is a few very questionable greens that have little grass in areas.

The roll is true but slower I found.

Probably a good course for the not so serious golfer.

Barwon Valley is a par 70 course which is bordered by the Barwon River.The course is currently undergoing a couch program so some holes have half a fairway in play.The main problem has been the fairways which can become almost bare in summer.There are many dogleg holes;the first has to be played with a 220m plus drive to have a look at the green.The greens are ok ,but are flat and not very interesting.Not many bunkers exist on the course.The course is on flat land and water comes into play on several holes.Highlight holes include the short par 4 4th with the river on the left and the 11th where your drive must thread between 2 water hazards.The hole then goes left to an elevated green.It is about a 440m par 5.Overall not a bad course located close to Geelong central.
