Brookwater in Qld is the Augusta of the southern hemisphere designed by Greg Norman nice course, can get on there,
The National don't know might be right pain in the butt but would be a good course to have a hit, very much like NSW:dash2:

Elanora, Sydney nice course but might be hard to get onto, can always try,

The Grand mmmmm NOPE you have to really Know someone for here very exclusive,

Bonville yes and a great course to boot, near Coffs Harbour, Sanctuary Cove have to stay there to get on and still hard, Monash is nice, NSW is very nice links course but Not unless u know a member, Robina is good, Mollymook haven't played there in over 30 yrs lol, Laguna not played there, Narooma nice course but is tough in the wind lol.
Barnbougle  is Tassie and don't know anything about it, and its cold :-P
Don't know of Tallwoods but could be interesting.

Sea Temle I know nothing of it.

There are a lot to choose from, if you can't get on some and you want to spend a few days in Sydney the Eastern suburbs have the best, NSW, St Michaels, The Lakes, Bonnie Doon Royal Sydney ( all very exclusive, members only) then there's The Coast, which is next to St Micks and is very challenging course at 1/2 the price and some nice scenery.
I could go on about them but not here, pm me and I'll send you my email address

Yeah, he also designed tha one in Pelican Waters (Sunshine Coast). My favourite is Tanawha par 3 but I set a high standard. I use to own an 18 hole golf course in Tanawha once. It was the best course ever and had more realistic rules. (That I set of course). Even had a sign displaying them (got a pic somewhere). 1. Anyone without rust on their Irons not allowed ta play. 2. Socks are banned. (including feet and irons). 3. Anyone not supplying their own beer must hit off while standing on a tyre.
The greens had fibreglass rods with flags attached etc and a lot of mates reckoned it was the best course they played on. Problem was the lack of acreage, so I only made six holes and each fairway crossed each other in many places. Much better design than Greg Norman`s Cause ya went pass the bar 3 times every 18 holes...But shotgun starts were really dangerous!...Let me know if ya need to borrow some Golf Clubs...but if ya want a real Aussie Golf course that`s better sized than poofy Augusta, this one is the best:..
