VETS – Week ending 6th June 2015

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

On Monday we hosted Peregian Springs and Nambour.  It was the first day of winter and we didn’t see the sun all day.   However it was not cold and some great scores were produced.   The best round came from Peter O’Conner who finished with 45 points.

On Wednesday we played our June Monthly Medal, our event sponsor is John Madill Toyota and we were fortunate enough to have John join us for the day.

A couple of highlights for the day were Kevin Tonkin’s eagle on the 8th, and not to be outdone Les Terrans produced an eagle on the 9th.   A total of 76 players took part and the best nett score came from Michael Andersen with 62.

  • Best value for money golf course on the Sunshine Coast. A really fun course layout, forces you to use multiple clubs off tees And have good course management. The grains are in great condition and are really receptive

    Liam Henderson

  • Fantastic golf course! Really well setup with signage, sand buckets, and ball cleaners on most tees. This course is designed for playing 1-18 consecutively rather than stopping midway. A ‘grip it and rip it’ mindset will lead to disappointment as there are many hidden hazards (yes I speak from experience!). Some of the fairways are deceptively narrow or have huge swathes of flanking rough hard to see from a distance. Lots of variety! Long par 5s to short par 3s and everything in between. Take care when walking between tees as its easy for first timers to get disoriented. At just $40 I felt it was great value and would definitely go back.

  • Beautiful fairways and greens, quite a walk but worth every step. We played in the afternoon and was very pleased with the price and quality of the course.

    Hendrik van Aswegen

  • Lovely course. Challenging enough to make it fun, but not too difficult for high handicappers

    Jonty

  • Great place to play golf. Course is a good challenge for all HC’s. Very picturesque,but if you walk it the last couple of holes uphill might get you. Very limited parking. Worth a look.
