Katoomba Golf Course - 2009











We were very unlucky with the weather for our Katoomba Golfing experience. The fog was so thick we could not see the fairways at all.
On the last day we called in and the fog had lifted a little but the rain had set in. There were a couple of diehards who were going out to play but they were regulars who knew the course & could find their way. I guess it was just another day to them.
We decided that we would choose another time to have our golfing experience there as we would not have been able to carry enough golf balls to replace those that we lost.
We stopped in at the clubhouse & had a chat with the Manager of the club. The clubhouse was well set up with good views across the course. There was a new lifestyle complex being built next door which would have the same views. We chatted with one of the greenkeepers who said it had been very dry in the Blue Mountains. They all had a water crisis with just 11 millimetres of rain falling since December. The course (what we could see of it) looked very dry so some slow soaking rain would have been just what they needed.
