This is a strange course, with a number of holes having trees in the fairway. The first is a par 4 with a number of trees across the fairway, meaning that there is no direct line to hit at the green. It is quite short, with a par of 71 for men (rating 68) and 72 for ladies (rating 69). The fairways were reasonably grassed, but had quite a few bare patches on them. The greens were excellent and probably saved the course from a worse rating.

The course has no bunkers or hazards and is quite hilly in places. We walked the course, but some of the climbs are hard work. You never get a level lie on the course, including the tee blocks, so the ball is always above or below your feet, and often runs off the fairway even after a good drive.

The third hole is a very poor par 3, for men it is 194 metres and 159 metres for ladies with a blind green with lots of humps and slopes around it, making it impossible to know where your ball finishes, so you may hit a good shot and never find your ball!

Green Fees were $20 for 18 holes, so reasonably priced, but if you are in the area it is worth the extra 60 klm drive to play Spalding Park in Geraldton.

It has beena while since I have played, but this is more challenging than Geraldton’s 2 golf courses, and cheaper as well. It is grassed all year round as well as the greens. The greens are tricky to manouvere.

I think it was $12 for 9 holes and $20 for 18, but the prices are shown at the golf club. I found it tough yet enjoyable and so will you.
