Yes, its been a few weeks since my last CRAPP, so it’s time to drop another one on your. Today Andrew and I played the Horrocks community golf course. As a 9 hole community course it was very basic, with sand scrapes for greens and basically fairways mowed on the paddocks at the back of the beach. We weren’t expecting much and that’s exactly what we got. As I have said before we have to mark each course as we see them. It’s obvious that the course had someone care for it in the past but its not in good nick now.

Design: The design of the course was reasonable considering the land that was available. Although the distance measuring on some of the holes left a lot to be desired. Rating 13 out of 20

Condition: Didn’t expect much, therefore we weren’t disappointed. Rating – 5 out of 20

Cost: It’s $10 for 9 holes, so $20 for 18 holes and based on the course, $20 for 18 holes was a bit rich. Rating 8 out of 20

Visual Appeal: The fairways were green and you could see the ocean from some of the holes but they were the highlights. Rating 10 out of 20

Facilities: Basically the only facility was the course and that says it all. Rating – 2 out of 10

Ambience: Really nothing, other than the sound of the ocean. Rating 3 out of 10.

So the final score was 41, probably a bit higher than I first thought it would be but I think we were a bit generous with the design score. We are really looking forward to next Monday when we take on the Kalgoorlie Golf Course, rated number 18 in Australia in the most recent Golf course ratings.
