Aussie Golf Quest Update October 2016

[su_dropcap size=”2″]B[/su_dropcap]een a while since my last quarterly update, but better late than never. Starting to get closer now to another major target, after playing 86 courses of my Aussie Golf Quest playing the nations Top 100 Golf Courses. That makes 14 played this year with another 5 to go, reaching my target of 91 played by years end.

The Cut Golf Club – 16th Hole

The new Golf Digest list was a slight stumble but I am definitely on track to hopefully reach 100 before the next Top 100 list is released, which will all be dependent on accessing two of the most hardest to access. I’ve mentioned before there are three courses in Australia which are hard to gain access, The Grand Golf Club, Royal Sydney Golf Club and the daddy of them all Ellerston. Fortunately The Grand Golf Club held an open day not long after my last update, so I didn’t hesitate to make last minute arrangements getting to the Gold Coast.

The Grand Golf Club – 19th Hole

Since the last update I have managed to play at:

• The Grand Golf Club
• RACV Royal Pines Resort
• Araluen Golf Resort
• Meadow Springs Golf & Country Club
• Secret Harbour Golf Links
• The Cut Golf Links
• Kalgoorlie Golf Club
• Horsham Golf Club
• The Federal Golf Club

There were a few clubs revisited, allowing some earlier reviews which were missed to find their way on to the site:

• Sanctuary Lakes Club
• Terrey Hills Golf & Country Club
• Metropolitan Golf Club
• Moonah Links Legends Course
• Spring Valley Golf Club
• Avondale Golf Club

Kalgoorlie Golf Club – 16th Hole

One of the standouts has been Kalgoorlie Golf Club. Quite a task to get to, especially from the east coast, but well worth the effort. Seeing rolls of green fairway along the red dirt, creates a stunning look. Desert golf is amazing, so much in fact that Alice Springs has been pushed up the order (also getting there when it isn’t too hot and wet).

So the remainder of the year I aim to visit the following five courses:

• Alice Springs Golf Club
• Royal Sydney Golf Club
• Cranbourne Golf Club
• Capricorn Resort Championship Course
• Sorrento Golf Club

From there it will really be a frantic dash to complete the last nine courses, covering five states, before the next list in March/April 2018 is released.
