PLayed Ocean Shores today and can’t understand how on earth this course was rated so high. i was so looking forward to my round and couldn’t have been any more disappointed. I’ve played a number of the courses rated less than this and in my opinion they aren’t in the same class. Ocean shores is a goat track and nothing more. The fairways resembled the rough or was that the other way round. Greens were patchy and inconsistent. I could go on but you got the gist. I’m now going to be a little more cautious when playing courses from the top 100.
how does courses like kingston heath which is public access not make a list of this and same with Yarra Yarra, and for waterford to be at 57 is a disgrace there not even in the top 200
Kingston Heath and Yarra Yarra are not public access courses. Both are private clubs. The top-100 Public Access course ranking is a listing of courses that allows PUBLIC ACCESS, without restriction, at least 5 and a half days a week. The likes of Kingston Heath and Yarra Yarra do allow visitors on some days but never visitors that live in Victoria. In that case, they must be member’s guests.
