Fall conditions - less than ideal

An interesting links course. Layout could certainly be very challenging with windy conditions.

Unfortunately, I played apparently the last week the course was to be open for the year. The greens were all aerated and rather bumpy, very much a factor. Fairways were being topdressed with sand, so about 1/3 of them were nearly sand traps.

Staff was pleasant.

Course is probably much better in summer when it's not being put to bed for the winter.

Fun course / challenging greens

Fun layout with some changes to score if on the right side of pin at approach. Greens can force a big number on score card if your irons are not sharp. Bunkers are large but shouldn’t come into play with size of fairways. Overall a very enjoyable course and worth the stop

“Carts Don’t Grow on Trees”

Assistant pro was the rudest person I’ve ever encountered working at a golf course in 25+ years playing golf.
Threw a hissy fit to us about taking 3 carts because we wanted to keep our distance; we were all from out of town and no one working in the clubhouse mentioned a word about it when we checked in separately and just said carts were out front with keys in. He drove all the way out to the first tee to yell at us. He made it seem like there was a dire shortage “Carts don’t grow on trees”. There were at least a dozen other available carts when we tees of at 3:10 and when we finished there were upwards of 20. He wanted to get in a fight but we bit our tongues and acted like adults unlike him.
Course was fine. Good conditions but way softer than it looks. Bunker surrounds are entirely too penal. The bunker is the penalty, you shouldn’t lose a ball in the surround. Greens are extreme but don’t run fast enough to take advantage of the slopes and 80% of the huge surfaces are unpinnable and don’t come into play.
Drive an hour further west and play Wild Horse. 10x better course and no one will treat you like a little kid who acted out.

Great Time

This course is very fun to play. Many challenges including the "dunes", huge multilevel greens, and extremely short and longer par 3's, and since insane blind approach shots make this course a great time. Staff has always been inviting and helpful.

Awarri Dunes

Very fun course. Super wide fairways with perfect bent grass. Huge greens with some extreme undulations. Stay away from the bunkers. Played fast with no waiting and free range balls are a bonus.

Fun interesting track

Most holes had more room off of the tees than it seems from the tee box. Greens are very quick considering the amount of slope on many of them- there is a large premium on being on the correct tier on the greens. We played on a breezy but otherwise perfect day.

Awarii Dunes

Good challenge with big fairways and greens. If you are not in fairway probably won’t find your ball. Greens are biggest defense of this course.
