Course name: Woolooware
Location: Woolooware, Sydney
Four Word Course Review: A decent public option
Woolooware is a public "council course" in the south of Sydney that while being nothing special in the grand scheme of things, is a fun course, demanding much more considered shot placement than most other courses of its type.
The small property means the holes are packed in more tightly than would be ideal, so it's trees rather than bunkering or natual landforms that dictate the best places to position the ball off the tee.
The front nine opens with some long, straightforward two-shotters, before the shorter 5th, 6th and 7th call for drives to certain positions for a good line in (or on the last two, even a chance to get on the green).
The recipe continues on the back nine, and while it's not the greenside features that dictate strategy for the most part, the putting surfaces themselves are some of the best you will see on a public facility, with a mixture of constant slopes and rolling undulation.
No one will ever drive too far out of their way to play golf at Woolooware, but it's an enjoyable place to play nonetheless, and the thick and juicy $10 steaks on a Wednesday night are great value!
