Yarra Bend Golf course in great condition
December 22nd, 2009 by Doogs
Played golf after work yesterday with colleagues Nige and Linds. Teed off at about 5:30pm at Yarra Bend Golf Course, only a short drive from Melbourne CBD. The summer twilight golf deal is excellent, $15 unlimited golf from 3:30pm. There arent many golf courses around that cost less than $1 per hole!
Yarra Bend is in excellent condition for this time of the year. Green keepers across Melbourne have been rejoicing thanks to the recent mix of warm weather and rains. The fairways at Yarra Bend are the best I have seen them, and the greens are reasonably fast and firm. Some of the rough especially around the greens is deep and tough to escape from. All this from a course that gets massive amounts of foot traffic. Speaking to the pro last night, there was one tee time left for the following day at 6am, the next spot was 4pm! Booked solid.
Would recommend a twilight round at Yarra Bend over Summer
I played there about 8 weeks ago, and it was in very good nick then. Can only imagine that the rain and sun we’ve had over those two months would have improved it even more. Might have to try and get out there again over the Christmas break.
Merry Christmas to On Par (and Doogs of course!)
Cheers!
