Much too good to close
Hearing that Broke Hill was going to close on 31st Dec, I was intent to get there and play it before it vanished forever. With just two weeks to go to closure, I was expecting a course that would be unkempt, run down and in just about playable condition, but whoa what a lovely surprise! From the friendly girls upstairs in the well appointed and large clubhouse, and the very good breakfast to the lad in the pro shop, who couldn't have been more helpful, albeit with an empty shop. The courses starts with a couple of straight-forward par fours and then returns clubhouse bound with a strong Par 5 and then a Par 3. The first five holes are all fairly flat and straightforward but the 6th is the first really strong hole, this being a 437 par 4 with a blind drive and then doglegging left. Be very pleased to get on in regulation here and is very worthy of its Stroke index 1. This is followed by a short but delightful par 4 at 355 yards where you are advised to aim at the marker taking the mounding and two bunkers on the left of this slight dogleg left. The first half finishes with a strong and quite long par 5 where the approach has to avoid a pond close to the green on the left. The back nine starts with pretty standard fare and is still quite flat but the meat of the course starts at the par 5 12th, which whilst not that long, has an awkward and wide ditch at the bottom of the small dip. This is followed by another delightful but short par 4 where care has to be taken both left and right, and then the 14th, where the tee overlooks a rolling fairway which veers to the right. To me, the most attractive hole on the course is the Par 5 15th, where the drive is blind to a marker and a falling fairway which then turns left and uphill to a well protected green. The final hole is a little tester as the green is fronted by a large pond.Overall, a very pleasing and easy walking course, maybe with too many shortish par fours but overall very enjoyable. For the middle of December and with the course closing for ever in just two weeks, the greens were short and true, the fairways perfect, and best of all, the bunkers had obviously been raked that morning - that surely is dedication to the end by the staff.
Why is this popular and profitable venue closing - ha, who knows, but I suspect it is something to do with it being sold for huge profit for building - I shall say no more, but what a shame to the 500 or so members and all those who have played here since opening in 1990. For such a young course, it has the appearance and feel of a course much older - it shall be missed.

Excellent course.
Not played here for many years and it's become a really good course. Greens receptive, fairways in really good condition, bunkers with enough sand in them. Warm welcome in the pro shop and bar. Some really good holes on here, the par 5 15th is a stand out.(Round played: Sep 2017 - Score: 97 Handicap: 14.7)

Great course excellent condition
Played this course as a guest today. We started the day off with a breakfast which was well cooked and plenty of it. Then to the practice putting area which matched the condition of the greens, also undulating which was a taster of what was to come.The course is in great condition, especially the greens which were superb, they putted true and all very consistent. All the bunkers were well kept with plenty of sand.
The course is challenging but fair, with the greens protected by bunkers or water. The back nine is definitely harder with the course more hilly which can be punishing.
Overall a great course which is in fantastic condition, well done the green keeping team.

Great play on the Hill
Course in great condition though dry. Greens not really holding and the rough was rough but only if well wide of target. Greens very true and great pace. Tee boxes in good condition and constantly being moved, judging by diverts(Round played: Jun 2017 - Score: 90 Handicap: 13.7)
