Yesterday I played the Busselton Golf Course, which is basically a Parklands course set amongst the tall trees of the area and pretty flat. It reminded me somewhat of a combination of Rowville and Morack with the conditioning of a Sandbelt course such as Woodlands.

The fairways, greens and green surrounds where in great condition, the members told me the course was in its best condition in 15 years, so I was lucky to play it at its optimum.

So here is my CRAPP rating:

Design 10 out of 20

Condition 18 out of 20

Cost. 12 out of 20

Visual Appeal 12 out of 20

Facilities. 7 out of 10

Ambience/Appeal 4 out of 10

The final rating is 63, not a high score unfortunately. It was a “nice” course but it just lacked something which I can’t determine after one outing. The course conditioning was its main plus but it did fall away in other areas in my opinion.

So onwards to the next course!
