Which Oz courses offer golfers the most width?

Lost Farm will likely be a condidate when more have seen it & can comment.
Is it National Moonah?
Somewhere else?

RQ are wide - bar a few. 16 would have to be close to, if not over 100m wide, only seperated by a couple of bunkers.

9's as wide as anything else in the country too isn't it.

St. Andrews Beach are way wider than National Moonah.

Matty,

National Ocean is wider than Moonah.

The Lakes is wide now and RQ must be as wide as anywhere - which does not stop some from suggesting the odd bunker in the middle of the fairway is somehow 'unfair'
Which part of the 80 yards of short grass did you miss?
Healesville has a lot of fairways where it's hard to miss the short grass - if that is all you are trying to do.

I would almost deem it impossible to miss the 1st, 9th or 10th fairway at RQ.

St. AB has some serious width in parts

Thommo,

Unless you hit it in the bunkers.

RQ = massive fairways, very small bunkers.

Anybody who hits it in those teeny tiny bunkers and complains, is kidding themselves.

I thought that Portsea was fairly generous in most places.

The 7th at Secret Harbour is 150m across at one point, the fairway itself is probably about 60 of that. The back nine is tighter though. Boom tish.
