For the the tenth consecutive year The Golf Course Guide has presented a list ranking Australia’s best Public Access courses. The Guide was the first to use this term to encompass both public courses and those private clubs that provide access to green fee players.

Well, if a green lush course was the desired outcome, their crowing is warranted.
