Bacchus Marsh Golf Club

Last week I had a whirlwind trip back home and thought I would take the opportunity to test out my little brother's work at Bacchus Marsh golf club as he is the course superintendent there. Bacchus Marsh is one of the drier places in Victoria but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at the course! It looked really lush and had some pretty spectacular views of the surrounding area including the Lerdederg State Park.
Terry, Josh and I teed up on the first hole and chopped and hacked our way around the course in true Landells style. It was awesome to be playing in and around Gum trees again with a few Gallahs, Cockies and Rosellas squawking away. 
There were some surprising elevation changes overall and on the beautifully kept greens. It took me a while to get used to playing on Couch Grass (Bermuda) again and playing with borrowed clubs is never easy but I did manage to get a couple of birdies on my way to shooting 85 around the par 72 course.
Josh was showing me the changes he has made and the future changes he has planned and I will definitely be back to sample it again in the future! I really enjoyed the round and if you find yourself in the area, have a hit! You'll love it and be tested in all aspects of your game too.
Here are a few photos from our round, but to get a proper feel, go and check it out. It's only 45 minutes from Melbourne out the Western Freeway.
