Yardage book - Brocket Hall (Melbourne course)

[forexrayv1]

Hello,

Does anyone have yardage book for brocket hall (melbourne course)? (or) anyone played the course and noted down the notes and experience especially where to hit and green undulations etc. that they could share?
Please let me know. I will pay for it if required. Thanks.

Yes. I have tried that. But there aren't any green undulation details. for example see attached image...

my course planners are in a box somewhere until we move again so cant help immediately, how quick do you need one as may be able to get one? you playing a comp there?

I played it quite often/regularly as a mate was am member until ownership collapse. From memory, the yardage book simply shows the obvious slopes - nowhere near the detail shown in pic above/post 4! Still worth having book for runouts/advice on the likes of 1 and 3 that have pretty extreme side-slopes.
So green slopes are generally pretty obvious. Some mates played Palmerston recently and reported that greens weren't as 'phenomenal' as before 'rebirth', but still pretty good - which is fairly high praise as we are used to those of The Shire which are generally top notch.
Hope you enjoy it, especially the trip back across the Lea to 18th!

Thanks for the response. Comp in two weeks time. Playing practise round this weekend.

Do you still have the book? can you post some pics to illustrate 1st and 3rd? The last time I checked; they are out of stock in the pro shot

Good luck with your game there.

I saw youtube video of europro tour at palmerston. It looks easier than melbourne? or is it other way around? I couldn't find any videos of melbourne course in youtube or any match or anything? So people prefer to play palmerston over melbourne at brocket hall?

It really comes down to opinion, theyre quite different courses in style. Palmerston is newer, a bit longer, hillier, with tougher greens whilst Melbourne is a little shorter, lots more water and carries over water. Generally Palmerston is rated higher, personally prefer Melbourne but expect am in the small minority with that view. Both are decent courses and in good condition, practise facilities are also great if you like to use them before playing

I prefer(ed) Melbourne overall too - seems more 'interesting', but I can understand why Palmerston is rated higher. Practice facilities are indeed top notch!

gets a bit wet after prolonged rain but will be more playable than most in the area, they switch a couple of the holes across water in winter (4 and 16), can find out condition for you from my dad if needed Ian
