Trip details:

Departure -7.30am flight from Moorabbin, arriving at Bridport at 9.00am.

Return – 3.00pm flight from Bridport arriving at Moorabbin 4.30pm

We fly in a 6 seater Piper Aztec, a powerful and comfortable plane which fly’s straight from Moorabbin to the golf course (there is an airstrip across the road) There will be 6 flying each trip so the pilot (who plays off an 8 handicap, and is familiar with Barnbougle) plays, enabling us to play in two groups of 3. Pictures of the plane can be seen at www.brightongolfacademy.net/KMA8.jpg and www.brightongolfacademy.net/KMA1.jpg

Game details:

More often than not we will play a form of golf called ambrose, where we chose the best ball played each shot, and then all play from that position. It is a great way to play as a group allowing for a good group discussion as to how best approach each shot. However if I have a group of experienced players they sometimes prefer to play their own game. (Each group I take down consists of golfers of similar standards).

Your role:

I book everything, so all you need to do is pay the $380 and turn up at Moorabbin airport at 7.00am on the day with your clubs, if you have them and they need to weigh less than 12kg, so a carry bag in necessary. It is a public course so there are no dress restrictions, however do bring some warm clothing incase the weather turns nasty.

About Barnbougle Dunes:

Opened in Dec 2004 this course is like no other in Australia, and will quickly become known as one of the worlds great courses. It has a collection of some of the best holes in the country and is built on the most beautiful dunes land imaginable. It is visually stunning, and boasts three major water borders, with the fairways winding alongside the Trent tidal estuary, the Great Forester river, and Andersons Bay. Links courses are defined as being built on strips of land which link the sea with more fertile land, often set amongst dunes. This is the best possible terrain for golf, and Barnbougle is built on this type of terrain.

A day at Barnbougle Dunes is an experience you will never forget.

What they are saying:

What it promises, is a golfing experience unmatched in Australia and one equal to anything in the world. It is a place of spectacular beauty and the holes themselves are a wonderful collection of the best the game has to offer. Finally we have a course to challenge Royal Melbourne as Australia’s premier course. (Mike Clayton - Designer)
