The Vintage Golf Club

The course is great, condition is great the only trouble is the course set up.

The first 3 holes are sharp doglegs and really require a drive of over 220-250m to get a shot at the greens. For the average golfer 20 metres less would be more enjoyable. Just move the gold trees a bit closer.

Some of the pin positions were very difficult, small plateau on the green tucked behind a bunker. Why do you do that on a 400+ metre par 4? You just don’t need to, it takes some of the pleasure out of it. (9)

Save the out there set up for special occasions.

We had a group of 16 older players and the best score was 30 with an average of 26. We all enjoyed it but felt a little shattered. Set the course up so the average was 30 points and people will rave about it!

Not very interesting, nice layout, a bit patchy in spots due to the drought. A nice track, doglegs right and left, good par 5's. An American style resort course, you have to take a cart which is rare in Australia. If you are in the Hunter Valley this is the one to play but it's not worth the drive from Sydney for just golf. They serve a great breakfast!

The Vintage yet again was in amazing condition. Greens, fairways in excellent condition. The challenge and reward are always on offer here. Great round with course to ourselves.
