This month saw the release of the 2024 Top 100 list from Australian Golf Digest. What must be said, it is probably the most controversial, or thought provoking in some time. Only once before in the magazines 37 year history of conducting the rankings, has a course deposed Royal Melbourne G.C. West from its number one spot. That was in …
Aussiegolfquest Update – 2023 Year in Review
Four interstate trips playing some top golf clubs, along with half a round in the USA and my first venture into golf in the United Kingdom, were the highlights for 2024.
Website Down Website Down
So the site has been down for just over a year. Maybe not quite with the message shown in the image, but still not viewable. I won’t get into the technical details, but it has been quite frustrating trying to get this fixed. The web hosting company could not assist. A web developer (colleague) was going to look, but never …
2023 Top 100 Golf Courses Public Access
Last month saw the release of the 2023 Golf Australia Magazine Top 100 public access golf course list. This is revised every two years, with a part of this period affected by Covid lockdowns. I find this list more susceptible to greater change, compared to the all course list, with sixteen courses entering this ranking compared to 2021 as some …
Aussiegolfquest Update – 2022 Year in Review
Another golfing year gone, another year older. Think I am starting to feel my age now. Two years have quickly passed since the outbreak of Covid. Gladly most of the lock downs and restrictions the World saw, are a distant memory. 2022 saw only one interstate visit to Tasmania, now a regular stop on my golf rota. There were still …
2022 Top 100 Golf Lists
During early 2022, the latest Top 100 golf lists were published from Golf Australia Magazine and Golf Digest Australia. Both underwent a challenging time with the compilation, due to COVID related travel restrictions and border closures, limiting the capability for both panels to view the number of courses visited. To compensate, an extension of time for the ranking period occurred, …
Aussiegolfquest Update – 2021 Year in Review
The year seemed to move along at a steady pace, even with a few lock downs. However there was an opportunity to make a couple of golf trips interstate. This allowed a revisit to Barnbougle (Tasmania) and Lake Karrinyup C.C. (Western Australia). I don’t know why it had taken so long to return to WA’s number one course, ten years …
Golf Australia Magazine Top 100 Complete
Managing to play at Curlewis Golf Club recently, this saw the 2014 and 2016 Golf Australia Magazine Top 100 lists completed. Never one of my intended goals, but having played so many of the courses during my efforts for the Golf Digest list, it seemed a natural progression. However, it was a very subdued experience, when compared to playing Cape …
Golf Australia 2021 Top 100 Public Access Golf Courses Released
Golf Australia Magazine earlier this year, released their 2021 Top 100 public access golf courses. In what have been challenging times due to COVID lockdowns, the review actually spanned three years, instead of the traditional two. I do wonder if this will be the same case later this year when the Top 100 list is revealed for both private and …
Aussiegolfquest Update – 2020 Year in Review
A review of my golf progress for 2020
