Condition of this course has improved out of sight over the last year or so. Fairly short and tight but lots of variety, a great place to test your game, or have a practice round, with some interesting par 4’s on the front and more open fairways and a par 5 on the back. Overall, very enjoyable and one of the the best Clubhouses anywhere. Great value.

Fun little public Course with a few par 4’s mostly par 3’s and one par 5 i played of the yellows which was a bit to easy and i will definately play blues next time i play here. Pretty good course all round but greens are very poor to fast and bumpy although fairways are in good condition. The course has a great club house with nice people and has some great scenery. Some of the tees are terrible with artificial grass in them. But its an all round fun course mainly for beginners and a good social game with mates.

PROS

• A few good dogleg par 4's and a par 5 to whip the driver out and bomb it down the fairway ! :)
• Very nice scenery
• easy Course for beginners
• Very good clubhouse
• nice people

Cons

• Terrible greens that are rock hard and too fast!
• Artificial grass on some tees
• very narrow fairways
• no course direction around the course to direct you
• no maps of the holes

Just played this weekend, an absolute disgrace of a course. Someone put too much fertiliser on the greens and there were 5 temporary one’s cut into the fairway. The second hole has been closed for weeks and a crappy little 80m temporary one has been made at the 17th. They still have these stupid synthetic grass tees which feel like hitting off concrete, I’d rather tee off from sand!

I used to like this course for a bit of practice but it’s just become a joke. The clubhouse is the only good thing about it.

Some of the previous reviewers need to look at the way they play, and not bag the course. Yes this course is tight on the front 9, but not that hard. This course is my local and I have been playing here for over twenty years, in the last couple of years the course has been getting a tidy up and is starting to look good. Magic clubhouse with a great bar and views. If you want a challenge this a good one, bunkers, doglegs and water hazards, it has it all. Only bad point is the 17th hole has been shortened and used to be a good lay up hole with the natural creek.
Give it a go, worth the hit.

Very hilly course with some reasonably difficult holes and some very easy holes so good for beginners. Good views of bush and the river When I played the greens hadn’t been mowed and were quite slow. The fairways were in good condition. I really enjoyed the 8th and 9th with all the bushland and bridges. The 10th is great hole tucked away in the forest. Walking up a path to get to the 12th tee is very stupid and then to make it worse it isnt even real grass. The 18th is probably the worst hole I have ever played being right next to the restaurant and only measuring about 75m. These two holes wreck the course a bit. It is cheap to play and very relaxing.

Average course, even members say so themselves! Accuracy needed everywhere. Good shot-shaping skill required. Green fees maybe a bit overpriced but some hard holes out there, in particular the par 3 10th, very long at 200 odd meters, bunkers shield the sides of the green.

Front nine is a challenge, rarely having a flat lie and narrow fairways. 10th hole is one of the toughest par 3’s you will ever play….202m,bunker left and right out,out of bounds left and dead if you go right.Have heard golfers bag the course, but if you can score around here you can score anywhere.

PROS

• Plenty of variety

Not sure why this place has got some lacklaustre reviews - played here at the weekend and it was in pretty good condition.

Please don't take any notice of idiot reviewers slagging the greens off - Gotta love some of the comments on previous reviews about not being able to sink birdies because of the greens - LOL. Yeah, right. Poor you! Diddums! These are no doubt the same people who run two scorecards on their round - one for what they actually scored and another for the score they "deserved"...LOL. Pathetic.

Give it a try - a very picturesque course with one of the best clubhouses I've ever been in and brilliant value at $21 on a Saturday.

Poor layout and greens. I went through quite quickly but all the greens were under repair, with sand 5mm thick covering the entire green. Though I had 8 pars, I could not sink a birdie, and 3 putted many times. Come back here in the summer when the greens actually look like the picture on the scorecard.

Short Par 65 4544m for men, and Par 66 4420m for ladies. Best holes probably the 11th with a tee shot layup to the creek a 7 iron to the green. The Par 4 15th is nearly drivable with a decent wind behind you (mine landed 30m short of the green). The 2nd hole was missing and under repair, so really it played 17 holes. Not too challenging, but give it a go

Well the original goat track is the front nine and the dead boring flat track is the back nine, have played this course when it has taken 3 hours to play nine holes yet if noone is in front of you 18 holes can be done in 2 and a half, would recomend if you are just starting out but if you are single figures try somewhere else.

Front nine presents some interesting tee shots and accuracy, back nine is a flat slog up and back no immagination. Good condition all round however greens have to be taken as they come! Very inconsistant.

Kareela Golf Club features a relatively short layout, although with plenty of variety in it's challenges. The front nine is hilly, and some narrow fairways require accuracy off the tee. The back nine is flatter and more open.

The course features a good number of sand traps, placed to make approach shots interesting but not unfair to intermediate players. The presentation of this course has improved in recent years, with a lot of work completed to revamp tee boxes, garden areas and paths, and some holes completely redesigned with new greens.

Overall, Kareela offers an enjoyable round of golf for beginners, intermediate players and social games. It's a course that is well presented, and the layout has a variety of opportunities for good shots without being too difficult for the casual player to enjoy.
