National Day (8-12 Aug) Golf in Perth or Melbourne

Hi Kakis, I am planning to go for a social golf holiday (flying off on 8th evening) and returning on the 12th, so only 1 day leave (10th) required. Its a simple golf holiday, stay in motel, eat good food, some wine, rent a car, drive and golf...social golf ok, I am not a good player but I play decent - high 80s - 90s.

Also, we may only play one of the Singaporean courses (dont know which one yet - Joondulap, Meadow view, Vines...etc) as its too expensive - meant for Singaporeans We will play the local courses.

If you are interested PM me and I will let you know more details. As for Perth or Melbourne, cost is only a couple of hundred different so I leave it to a democratic vote...

Short trip, i think perth better. Can go margaret river also.

pakleow, some suggestions of quality local PUBLIC GOLF COURSES in Perth i hv played at (introduced by locals there) u may wanna check out... comparable if not better than Vines imho...

Bro, Thx. They look really good. I will be playing with a Singaporean local there, the former marshall of Seletar Base, Robert Fong. Also, the last time we played, we just turn on the GPS when we reach there, take a quick browse at the internet, then give a call to check for slot and off we go...free and easy...

these public courses also much cheaper to play at than vines or joondalup plus they all hv pretty big proshops, much bigger than the ones in our local courses or ranges... hv a nice national day golfing weekend!

Yep, Have played in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane a number of times. Also August weather would be superb.

For nostalgia sake, you might want to do a round at Burswood before they tear down 9 holes to make way for a football stadium. Green fees on weekdays only AUD25.

Have fun!

Bro, thanks for the info. I have played a number of links both in UK, especially Scotland and also some in Melbourne area. This is one of the more expensive course by Aussie stds.
