Very very tight on the fairway. very very sparse off of it. This is a layout that will suit long ball players to a T. Simply it rewards HEAVY risk from the Tee no if nor buts..flail away with the chief..

Canberra drought as ususal and it is nearly flint hard from the fairway, I have seen the results of the greenkeepers attempt at over sewing the fairways, one hopes that couchgrass will come through and help the hardness around its edges.

as a previous poster said.. be prepared for LONG walks between tees. they are really silly lengths honestly, but thats what you get when you build houses around everything.

the clubs facilities are quite good, thoug I wonder about a pro shop so far away from the club house, an a first tee a par four from the club as well.. what happened there..

I think that the new owners are more concerned about the gymnasium and other club facilities than than the course. A shame really. This was only a few years ago a really good course.

Perhaps the purse strings are tight?

It is a while since I have played this course. Apparently Gold Creek has moved to private ownership and the course is not as good as when it was owned by the the Government. Maybe it is the drought maybe it is lack of money. The fairways were hard with the ball bouncing like it was concrete and the greens were good. Fairly poor given the prices you have to pay here, you would expect everything to be on song. Finding your way around is long, long, long – it would be impossible to walk – and you need a street map to find your way – the layout is all over the place. Everything is expensive especially if you are on your own. A game with a cart on Monday to Friday sets you back a whopping $65!!!!! on Saturady and Sunday it is even worse $75!!!! I can play 3 games of golf elsewhere.

The full course is in use and it has never looked better. Although I have not played RCGC, this must rate as the best course in Canberra. The trees are now well established, greens are fast and tricky.

There are currently three holes closed for construction / renovation - they have substituted in the three practice holes to make up 18. While these are OK, do not expect the layout to be it's best. Without a cart, you will be making several 400m walks between holes to bypass the closed holes.

The course seems to be suffering somewhat with the dry weather. Fairways are still generally very good, greens are good, but the course is a bit dry and rough around the edges.

Typical of many resort courses, Gold Creek G.C. has wide fairways & is not too punishing off the tee. The holes are routed over & around the sweeping undulations of the land. In fact, 5 of the par 4's play over hills with downhill approach shots.

The 13th is a nice par 4, uphill & with a dogleg to the right, playing at 379m from the back. This is followed by a good par 5 from an elevated tee, end at a green that is slightly elevated as well.

The course has enough length, but the green side bunkering is a little weak. There are many holes that have no bunkers near the front of the green & many greens that have no bunkers at all on holes that I believe need them. This weakens the course, because a miss hit shot that comes to rest short, but near the green is not punished. An easy chip & putt, & you have a par.

Worth the visit. I live in SW Sydney & Canberra is only a couple of hours away.

I have been down there quite a few times & find the course to be good value.

This course is a top-line course and much under-rated. The course is always in good condition and is a challenge for golfers at all levels.

Value for money it's the best in canberra. You can always get a game and it's never too crowded.
