Huntingdale Golf Club

In the original Confidential Guide I opined that the late
David Inglis, the founder of the Australian Masters, must be a promotional
genius if he could get a dull course like this ranked among the greatest in the
world; we became friends because David took that as a compliment. In truth,
nearly all the major tournament sites are overrated as golf courses, but
Huntingdale helped prove the point when they started ripping up holes in the
late 1990s to introduce some radical contouring into the mostly flat greens. I
have not seen the changes, but as long as the back-and-forth routing through the
trees is still the same, it can’t matter much. Rating: 5 (March 1988)
