Very straight forward layout provides a good test. On the drive in it gives you the impression of some rundown course but once you get out there it is alright. Holes 7, 17 and 18 are my favourites. Gets very warm up there in the middle of summer. People are friendly up there. It is a cheaper alternative to the other courses in the region e.g. The Vintage

Played on Fri 2 Jan 2009. Fair experience. The course advertises itself as the home of the Jack Newton Junior golf tournament. Unfortunately the first impression of the course is of a run down golf course that has had better days and only fit for juniors. The entry road is full of pot holes to a dirt parking area, the driving range is a grass field, and the putting greens small and mediocre. And this used to be the Cessnock Country Club? However, I liked the course itself. The feel is like a country stroll through the Oak trees or across fields and paddocks. The layout is a decent test of golf with an even amount of open and narrow driving holes. The oak trees are a problem if you are not straight. Some oak trees narrow the driving areas. Even if you are straight, some trees obstruct the approach to the green. The fairways are in good condition – the greens average. The strong smell due to recent fertilizing was tough to handle and the cow chips on the fairway were a bit of a nuisance. Every Friday during the summer, greens are over watered to the point of being flooded with the hole totally filled with water. Inexpensive: $18 M-Th, $22 F-Su. However, Fridays during the summer should be the weekday rate due to the flooded green conditions.

Good fairways, terrible greens- bumpy and patchy, front nine has a good layout, back nine is a bit up and down. $18 is great value and not too crowded.

Terrible, Go else where, i attempted to play on this course in November and found nothing but trouble, called for tee time but no record when i arrived. I was really looking forward to this course because of the reputation but remain bitterly dissapointed. Also played at Branxton and would reccomend it prior to the oaks. Course in terrible condition compared to others in the area. I will probably give the course one more chance in the coming months, if no improvment i will not return

If you are going to be in the Hunter Valley and don't mind a very basic course then this one is OK for the price I guess. The fairways are OK and the greens are fair for a public course but don't miss the greens even by a few feet as you will be chipping off terrible lies - even short of and through the greens.

However, that said, the bar is about pub prices and the course is fair.

This course is a must if in the Vineyard area and your looking for an alternate to the over pricing which comes with this area. The greens are true, the fairways are lush and with the course always growing it really does pose a challange to any golfer. The back nine has some really hard holes which require pin point accuracy from tee to green. Give it a go,

a real course with real people involved.

This golf club is very nice. Plenty of trees, always in good condition and a great club house.

There are times when strategy comes into play so you can't just blast away with your driver. If you've had a good score here, you've played well.
