Broke Hill Golf Club

Well worth a visit

First the good. The greens were really nice for the time of year, given the winter we've just had (and still seem to be having). The course itself is pleasant enough for the front nine, and then adds a bit more interest on the back. I'd say it's a fair test for most handicaps, not too tough, but with enough hazards to punish the wayward. As others have mentioned, the front is pretty flat, while the back isn't really too strenuous.

The bad was the welcome in the pro shop. I'm not sure if he was having a bad day, but as a first point of contact I've had plenty better. This was a shame as the clubhouse is really lovely and the staff there were really pleasant.

The bunkers weren't the best. Too many footprints and sand obtained from a builders yard. I guess the best thing to do is to stay out of them!

It's borderline whether it's a little pricey (green fee and food), but get a good deal and I think you'll enjoy your round here.

It was a washout all day, but I managed to plot my way round with a rescue club off the tee on the shortish par-4s from the yellows. Looked a nice course and one i'd return to in decent weather when I'd be looking to post a good score.

Bit on the steep side.But a good course to play

What's with the attitude of the staff in the pro shop?
Either arrogant or incompetent dependant which one you get!
Nice condition with good greens.
Mixture of hazards with mature trees.
Par 3's very bland. With a bit of effort they could spice them up.
Overall a nice course to play.

Played here with some friends on Friday 17th August using the 'Open Fairways' discount (so £20 per person green fee).

Club is friendly, course is interesting, with nice size, well protected greens (I certainly visited one or two bunkers...) and the course is generally well maintained. The only criticism would be that the greens on the front 9 needed a bit of a haircut (not bad by any means but perhaps needed a cut). All in all a great little find.
