Played here a bit over the years. Typical Peter Thomson design and I love it. Clever bunkering and creeks/burn crossings along with some interesting green contours makes for a great risk/reward design. It has a combination of short & long holes of all persuasions. I enjoy playing this course more than the others when I’m in Ballarat.

Overrated IMO. Very exy green fees ($130 for members guest, I paid $95 as it was some kind of promo day. Course itself (I played North Course) is in great condition. Greens are hard and FAST. Fairways are tight and if you can get off the tee with driver or 3 wood, it’s a short wedge to most greens on the front 9 but holding those shots is much more difficult than it seems. Fun course to play, great renovations but not in the same league as Metro, Kingston Heath, RM etc. no matter how much they wanna be. A $10k joining fee, $5k subs and an entry process (known 4 full members at least 4 years who have to vouch for you that you will uphold the values of the club). Please. I guess a long waiting list says I’m wrong but golfers are always seduced by the shiny & new.
I love playing the Frog. Who’d have thought 34 was enough for 17 of 25?? Group of bandits! Was a nice day but for a few peanuts and their attitude but not letting the negativity get in the way of a positive outing. Thanks to the organisers, Geoff, Deege & Goldy but also to Ink for a fun round. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Interesting to see how today’s changes to the handicap influences the grades. Think I gain an extra shot as a result.
