My congratulations to all concerned in the creation of something completely Australian, i.e. The Nullarbor Golf Course.

I feel that after playing the course twice, all golfers should play it. To appreciate the overall playing conditions and character of this truly Australian golf course.

Yours Etc.

My husband has been keen to drive from Adelaide to Perth for years. I didn't facy the drive without a different activity.
Nullarbor Links captured my imagination. So here we are.
I thought the Synthetic greens and information boards were very good.
Brumby's rum par 3 at Madura very pretty hole nicely created.

Hi Alf

Just want to congratulate you on the vision you had to create something that is so unusual and so rewarding for the townships across the Nullabor

We, amongst many other hundreds of people, have been “forwarding” your website to all we know to promote what will become an Aussie Icon

Great job!

Thank you!

Hi Alf,
Thought I would let you know that we completed the Nullabor Links yesterday and loved doing it. We did the round trip from Norseman to Kalgoorlie and got our certificate at Ceduna. It was a great way to cross the Nullabor. It took your mind off the long endless road. Some of the holes were incredible. Congratulations to you for your effort. We think it will be a great success. Thanks for suggesting we drive to Kalgoorlie to start it.
Regards Bob and Trish

Congratulations

Both yourself and Dan Harrington should be extremely proud of your achievements and deserve recognition for your hard work, your foresight and determination with Nullarbor Links. All those who shared your ideas and made them come true, should also be proud of their achievements. You have given people another reason to enjoy the vast and beautiful Nullarbor Plains, Australia thanks you for that. If I have the opportunity in the future I will play it, "although don't laugh, my score is more handicapped then I, I have epilepsy".
From one hacker to great golfers
CONGRATULATIONS

Very interesting and challanging, Great ideas
Loved playing the course it made the trip very pleasant..

— Vanessa Holman WA

26 October 2009

We really enjoyed the course although our scores were a little to be desired.
We strike strong winds onsome holes which made them harder. The scrub around some par 3 made them challinging. The march flies at Border Village were unique and the grass seed at Eucla were uncomfortable. But all in all it got us out of the car for execise to break up the trip.Enjoyed the Synthetic greens. The certificate at the end were great.

— Doug Twelftree SA.

Very Informative
Incredible Experience
I learnt so much about the Nullarbor, that i would outherwise never have learnt.

— Chris Lindsey Vic

14 October 2009

Congratlations to those responsible for the concept- Brillant.
On the side, We were disapointed on the lack of signage as soon as we crossed from into South Australia. I gusses a gun to shoot the crow would be out of the question.
Having said all that it was great fun despite gale force winds and driving rain and losing 5 balls.

— Bette Bowes and Val Stark NSW

Great concept forcing breaks in the drive.
Congratlations on a great Idea.

— Scott Tinsley NSW

8 October 2009

A very different golf course.
Difficult on some holes Ie Wombat Hole, Dingo's Den. Enjoyable- with heaps of laughs espicially when the crow flew off with 5 balls ( 3 brand new ).
Wonderful Greens once used to them.
Congratulations on achieving this dream.

— Bill and Brenda Ivey WA

Different. ( leave as is )
2 Great Concept

Holes need to be reset in some greens
due to raised lips showing and upseting entry to the hole
Shoot the crow at Nullarbor ( just Joking)

Kill the crow and fill in the rabbit hole at Nullarbor

— Graeme Cunningham Vic

26 September 2009

As a non Golfer I found it enjoyable tackling every fairway.
The staff at each tee were very helpful.
At one roadhouse, Mundrabilla I think, the lady has a white board with the current score to beat I felt this was encouraging.

— Pat Mc Ewan

25 September 2009

Nullarbor roadhouse hole shoud be called "the crows". That bloody crow pinched all our balls. I think its a wonderful concept, as it get people out of the car and do some exercise.But it needs to be made a little eaiser ( this is a female point of view).

— Di Clifton VIC

23 September 2009

A wonderful conception. Some hole were like nothing I had ever experienced before.
I will recomend to friends, members and golfers in the clubs where ever I visit to give this a go. I am sure it will be a great discussion item and somrething that will remain in my memory for ever.

— Frank Walker TAS

Hi Alf,

A few weeks ago I phoned you from Brisbane when my wife and I were contemplating playing the Nullarbor Links during our drive back to Perth.

I’m happy to report that we completed the course during the past week, and had a ton of fun doing it. As middling golfers, we encountered every hazard, which added to the enjoyment of it all.

Although we’ve crossed the Nullarbor several times over the years, and thought we know a lot about it, this time was a whole new learning experience for us.

You, and all those associated with the development of the Links from concept to reality over the 5-year period, are to be commended for your persistence and what you have achieved thus far. I understand that, to date, about 70 have now played the course, and it does not officially open until next month! We’re sure it will be a great success as more people hear about it. Congratulations, and all the best for next month’s tournament!

I thought you might be interested in some notes we made along the way (see attached), which I’ve excerpted from a compilation we put together for friends, which contains our notes and photos, combined with what you’ve made available on the website.

Regards & best wishes,

Ken and Anne Bird

would just like to say that our group had the pleasure of playing the course starting on the 15th August and we believe we are probably the first Kiwi’s to complete it. It really made driving that distance very enjoyable, guessing what the next hole will be. There were challenges and as we were 3 men and 3 women, we did feel the men had an advantage over us. We also suggested changing Wombat Hole to Crows nest after loosing 8 balls to the resident crow. The Road House could make a profit if they find the nest.

I am attaching a photo of us Teeing off. Thanks for the idea.

When we first heard of the concept maybe 2 years ago, we wondered. Now we have played a couple of holes on the way over from Ceduna, and it looks like being great for tourism. While incomplete when we played the holes, we found some holes were difficult to locate due to an absence of signs, I hope this will not deter foreigners. When I first enquired at Ceduna in July, the information centre had no idea about the concept, except it would start in October. I expect that this would be rectified automatically, once the program develops.
Congratulations to you and your members for staying the course, and pressing on with the concept. I will try a few more holes on the way back later in August. I wish you all great success,
