Well it’s another Ray’s CRAPP for those that are interested. Played in a social 4BBB at Robe Golf Club today. I was teamed up with a young local player and we managed to win the comp with 46 points. Prizes were pretty impressive with 6 Pro V1 golf balls, 2 pair of FJ socks and a golf drink bottle each as winners, very happy.

The golf course is basically in 2, the old 6 holes that you see when you come to the club and the newer 12 holes (with the final 3 opening in November last year). The new holes are magic set amongst the large sand dunes and are on par with what you will see on the Mornington Peninsula courses. Unfortunately the old holes are suffering big time in comparison. The club has future plans and is well cashed up so I expect Robe to become an absolute gem in the next 5 to 10 years.

So Ray’s CRAPP is:

Design: 13 out of 20

Condition: 10 out of 20 (mainly due to the front 6 holes)

Cost: 15 out of 20

Visual Appeal: 10 out of 20 (once again because of the first 6 holes but see the photo below of the 9th hole, re the new holes)

Facilities: 8 out of 10

Ambience/Appeal: 9 out of 10 (I really like this club it was so welcoming and friendly)

Total Score: 65
