Helens bay
When we arrived at the course there will little signs of life about the facility there was a few juniors on the course playing what I can only describe as poor golf . There were 2 groups of four with no course etiquette messing around . My friend and I where held up by over 2 1/2 hours to play 9 holes . We where able to play the back 9 in only only an hour . The course had no pro shop open tried the office to no avail . No scorecard . No amenities .will be back to play in a few weeks as part of a society outing I would like to think the shop will be open . Other than these things the course was in fantastic condition.
