Just 10 minutes from downtown you will find the NEW Gorge Vale Golf Club.  Over the past two years Gorge Vale has undergone some major renovations, not that it was not a premier private club before.   Gorge Vale is a beautifully kept semi private course offering the golfer a challenging par 72, 18-hole course with hilly terrain and tall standing trees.  The course plays long with sand bunkers in play on every hole requiring accurate shot making for a good score.  A naval cemetery set in the golf course provides an aesthetic backdrop and obstacle on the difficult 12th hole with no less than 8 bunkers.  This is truly a superb choice for those who want to play a superb championship course in the late morning or afternoon, but have limited time, as it is close to downtown, and as a private club, the pace of play is fast when compared to some of the other public courses.  Ask a Golf Central representative if Gorge Vale might be a good choice for you.
