Mildura Golf Resort

A trip to Mildura over the Melbourne Cup long weekend gave a window of opportunity for a game at Mildura Golf Resort. 

1st hole - Par 4

1st green - Par 4

2nd hole - par 3

The course is in good condition, and is currently under going some work on the 10th and 13th holes.  Greens were excellent although a little slow.

7th hole - Par 4

Was surprised that we had the course nearly to ourselves on a Sunday afternoon.

11th hole - Par 5

The course starts with a few holes with a similar feel, all dog leg to the right.

14th hole - Par 4

16th hole - Par 4

The par 3 holes are a good mix of length, culminating with the long par 3 18th hole.

18th hole - Par 3

A reasonable day out playing to handicap

Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club (74)

After recovering from injury it was back to a SGA Tour event at Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club at Point Cook about 45 min west in Melbourne.

Perfect weather greeted an early start with some cloud cover keeping temperature up, no breeze and warming up later in the day.

A reasonable walk from the club house to the driving range at Sanctuary Lakes, but it is an excellent set up with a number of under cover bays, but today we were able to use the turf range. Leuk the Duck came along to check things out.

The Quest is located between the club and the range, handy for a stay and play visit.

10th hole - Par 4

Starting on the 10th tee today and off the white tees which have a slope rating of 132.

11th hole - Par 3

17th hole - Par 3

Managed to get 15 points on the first nine played (10-18 holes).

A good start after the turn with a par at the par 4 first, but managed to tire

Sixth hole - Psr 3

The par 3 holes at Sanctuary Lakes are a highlight, with a mix of lengths and shots required.

Eighth tee

A disappointing finish, but good to get through a game after 5 months off.
