Golf Blog - Bowral course review

Well last weekend saw me treck down to Bowral, about 1 hour south of Sydney to play in an annual social golf club tournament ‘the Koobaloya Cup’.

The event is a two day event using a stableford handicap system (thank god). the schedule kicked off with us teeing off in groups of 4 at 1.30pm on the Saturday followed by a massive night on the turps and then a 9.30 tee off on Sunday.

Saturday was a beautiful day and the course in really good condition. Unfortunately my golf wasn’t. Even with a huge handicap I still only managed to scrape up 26 stableford points.

Saturday night was a great night finished up with a 2.30 am finish and a very sore head on the Sunday mornig for tee off. That being said maybe I should drink before golf more often because I finshed the day in 2nd place on 39 stableford points. maybe the sore head forced me to keep the head down. [Read more →]

Golf Blog - Coplicks

As previously posted during a previous review Coplicks at Tallebudgera on Queenslands Gold Coast is a good course to get out and have a social hack with friends……or so I thought.

I travelled to Coplicks this past weekend for a social hit with friends as a group of 4. We were teeing off at 6am to avoid getting caught up in the weekend social comp that starts at 6.30. One of our playing party turned up with a friend who has only emigrated from Scotland 3 days ago to have a walk around the course with us not knowing that Coplicks have a no non players policy.

The policy itself is fair enough so our new Australian paid his fees as a player with the intention of just accompanying his new friends along to enjoy the company and the conversation. he had never played golf before and just wanted to see what the game was all about.

We played as a group of 4 and 1 non player (although paid full fees to walk the course) until the end of the second hole when we were approached by the course marshall (playing in the group behind us mind you) who rudely informed us that our non player despite paying his fees must either play or leave the course and that as we were now a group of 5 needed to split into two groups.

Well after braving eight hours in the car with my two sons (18 months and 5 years old) we arrived at Hallidays Point for a week at Happy Hallidays Holiday park. A week of relaxing around the pool, fishing, swimming and golf at Tallwoods.

After arriving at the park late Saturday afternoon and settling in to the holiday on Sunday we headed to Tallwoods Golf Club on  Monday morning with 4 of us teeing off for some two man best ball ambrose competition. [Read more →]

The staff are friendly, great facilities, good course layout, challenging without being rediculously hard for the average hacker, great surroundings and well priced. [Read more →]

The par 67 layout borders Tallebudgera Creek and covers a distance of 4442 metres for Men and 4346 for the Ladies.

The 18 hole course is suitably priced at $25 for 18 holes. Good course for a social hit or with a group of mates.

Fairly short course with no par 5’s and makes for a good early morning game before the crowds arrive. I normally tee off at 6.15 to 6.30 am and I am finished the 18 by 9am.
