This is one of the most requested golf courses on the channel. Eynesbury golf is 30 minutes from the CBD and it’s the 12th longest course in Australia, and I played it from the black tees. If you know a better course than this let me know in the comments. But this has been one of my favourites so far.
Hole 1 is a Par 4 353m. I hit a good drive down the middle of the fairway. And then hit a pitching wedge at the green. It came up a little short and I chipped at the hole. I putt for par but missed and took a bogey to start.
Hole 2 is a Par 4 339m dog leg left. Again, I went down the middle with a drive. And hit a 5-iron at the flag over a river and sand. My chip went a little long but I was able to hole out a par from 8 yards.
Hole 3 is a Par 3 177m. I hit my 5 iron over the back of the green , and chip if back off the other side of the green. I hit a long putt from the fringes which comes pretty close and I finish out with a bogey.
Hole 4 is a Par 4 460m. It’s a dog leg left and I cut the corner over the bunkers at 230m. I hit a 7-iron at the green and the wind pulls it left. I hit a nice chip, really close to the hole and thinking I’ll finish with a par. But it misses and I take a bogey.
Hole 5 is a 517m Par 5. I hit a good drive down the middle. I hit a low punching 3-wood and it runs up close to the hole. My flop shot lands about 8 yards past the hole. And I hit my best putt of the day, for a birdie.
Hole 6 is a Par 4 390m. It’s windy and pull my drive left into the rough. I hit a 7-iron at the green but again the wind takes it and it lands in the sand. I get it up and out for a par putt. It doesn’t fall and I take a bogey.
Hole 7 is a Par 5 494m. My drive goes long but rolls off the fairway and I have a bad lie from 200ish yards. I layup a 7-iron towards the green and pitch it close to the hole. I have a birdie chance, which turns into a par chance and ends up as a bogey.
Hole 8 is a Par 3 160m. I hit a 5-iron at the hole and it hits the green. I have a long putt for birdie but I run it up close and manage to tap in a par.
Hole 9 is a Par 4 413m. I hit my 3-wood off the tee to come up short of the bunkers. And I hit my 5-wood into the green side bunker. I’m in the sand so much that it doesn’t really bother me anymore. I have a decent chance to save par, it doesn’t fall and I take a bogey on the 9th.
I played reasonably well here, despite the fact I left a lot of putts behind me. But I had 6 bogeys, 2 pars and 1 birdie. 41 shots on a handicap of 14 which would give me 20 points.
