ask korn at creek 9 on i think the 7th hole theres this huge open fair way with one tree that has one tiny branch over the fairway ... i managed to hit that branch :D
 
On Sunday I drive behind trees so I play a safety with my chipper, manage to hit another tree and the ball bounces backwards, 3rd shot was also towards the trees, at that point I was thinking about the water hazard at the 4th. . .

Didn't realise that was called Creek 9. Drive past it on my way to work. Never played it yet. Looks like loads of fun.

And? Did you get a game on a wee course?
 
DieGrootH@mmer said:
I did indeed. Played Centurion Lake Mashie. Was quite fun. A short course is actually really fun, but I do miss playing a full course. Hopefully I can fix my driver this week.

I believe the price difference for a full game is pretty steep in JHB?

What is the average price for a round on a good course?

It depends on whether you are affiliated with a club or not. Affiliated rates are anything from R80 - R300 depending on the course. If you are not a member anywhere, you are going to pay quite a bunch. Anything between R200 - R900 for a round of golf. Thats very steep.

What you can try is going to http://lastminutegolf.co.za/ and book from there. I don't think you have to be a member anywhere, and you get great rates on some pretty nice courses throughout Joburg and Pretoria. I myself golf via PlayMoreGolfSA
 
Well at Cotswold Downs its R380 i think for affiliated golfers ( aka SAGA card and number ) and possibly the R500 mark for non affiliated members. I pay R280 though for a round, i will also be joining them at the end of this year and moving from my current club which charges me R290 a round and is half the course that Cotswold is.

Golf is not cheap i can tell you that much, these are KZN prices and i believe are still fairly decent.
 
I am a member of Drakensberg Gardens GC and have an affiliation to SAGA. I tend to use last minute golf when booking a round for the weekends. So I expect to pay at least R250 and up for a round. Just never played any of the mashie courses around Joburg. I need to get out and play sometime.
