We were all a bit hesitant to commit to the Salamander Bay excursion because the weather had been so bad that our local golf coure had been closed. More heavy rain was predicted for Tuesday so it was not looking good. In the end we all decided that we wouild go anyway & see what happens.
As it turned out the weather fined up and we were able to get a game on Muree Golf Course on Tuesday even though we had to use push carts. On Wednesday we managed to get onto Horizons Course with electric carts as long as we stayed on thr paths. On Thursday it was a hot sunny day so we played Horizons Golf Course again as we had enjoyed the previous day. The Dunes Golf Course was too wet to play so Muree was a good substitute.
Our accommodation was at the Colonial Ridge Resort at Salamander Bay. It was a very suitable place where we could share units for a very reasonable cost of $125 per couple for a three day stay. The units had two large bedrooms, a good size kitchen, laundry & lounge room. The only down side was that there was only one bathroom/toilet which is inconvenient for 4 adults that all need to be ready for golf at the same time. However for the cost it was very good value. There were BBQ facilities, a nice swimming pool & tennis courts on th complex.
We had a couple of evening meals at Soldiers Point Bowling Club and a Chinese Meal at the "Oceanic" Chinese Restaurant at Salamander Bay. All were good value.
We all enjoyed the three day stay & managed to fit in an excursion morning to Nelsons Bay before golf on Wednesday & tried out the famous "Red Ned's" pies. We were very lucky with the weather and we were very happy that we were able to play the three days of golf as planned.
