Hard question... I like a challenging course with top fairways, undulating greens with challenging bunkers and tactical holes that make you think which club to pull out on a tee as also approach shot.Great post. Lots of experience with balls there.
How do you distinguish between top and next runged courses?

Don't like courses where holes look and feel identical, flat, mundane...
Melbourne sandbelt is bloody awesome, Mornington peninsula...
Mates have made trips to Barnbougle, kicking myself for not tagging along, but the one I am keen to have a hit on is Brookewater
We are so blessed with courses in Oz!
Pro v1's are the best balls. Too expensive for me though. If you struggle with control, Pro v1x is the best option if you can afford it. They are very durable as well.Not sure if much discussion on golf balls has been had but I've noticed every time I think I've settled on a ball, I find another one to play with.
This is how I roll
I prefer to use new/newish B330-s, Z star, Chrome soft, Nxt tour or DT true soft (occasionally pro v1s) balls when I play on exceptional courses. With my mates we have our prefered balls and swap at will.
On the lesser courses I may use e6 or e7, any used Titliest or used Srixon and I find them not too far behind the more expensive brands
But the ball I have been enjoying lately, is Callaway SuperSoft... I get good distance of the tee and they bite around the green. Bang for your buck the ball at the moment
aye we are.
flat courses can be tactical however, we all know this. Although i prefer the undulating stuff cause im used to it, a flat course presents far more of a challenge for myself.
curious could you list what you'd call exceptional courses, and those that are the next rung down. Hope some of them include country/rural courses as I havent played anything further than hidden valley (in victoria)

As you were saying, Callaway Supersoft is the best ball value wise out of the lost. It is a very good ball for distance and control. I buy these from GolfBox. Two dozen costs $49. I bought 2 dozen Srixxon Z Stars for $79 but they don't go as far as the Callaway Supersoft and I have less control.
Haven't ventured too far North myself (Depends if we are talking suburbia or towns etc), top of my head have played at Growling Frog, Ringwood, Healsville, Warburton
Growling Frog I like and lately Healsville
I like playing on links courses, more open with a few trees for good measure, not keen on predominantly tree lined courses. Then again I like Augusta course way more than St Andrews...lol
Rung down are the courses that I play at the last minute in which I'm in the area and have 3-4 hours free. Courses that I woul dnot otherwise book for a hit, ones that are flat, no or few bunkers or bunkers that are in poor condition(Pet hate!) But a hit is a hit
I've been meaning to play Grownling Frog for a while now and was almost talked into it on Sunday, stayed home to watch grand prix though (dumb).Haven't ventured too far North myself (Depends if we are talking suburbia or towns etc), top of my head have played at Growling Frog, Ringwood, Healsville, Warburton

Have played 13th Beach couple of times. Thumbs up. Stayed there a few times, overlooking 1st hole and practice green. Walked out from room to practice green, also driving range was just beyond practice green. Ideal! Don't mind Barwon heads as a holiday destination.I wasnt specifying north in terms of geographical locations, just using an example. So how about other points of the compass?
Been about 4-5 years since I last played there. First hit was when it was newish, everything was fresh and surroundings young ie trees/shrubs. Last time I played there few years back noticed it more mature. Lots of shrubs, a slight misshit and you'll most likely lose your ball, but guaranteed to find othersI've been meaning to play Grownling Frog for a while now and was almost talked into it on Sunday, stayed home to watch grand prix though (dumb).

May I ask what's your handicap?
i lost my titleist h1 headcover somewhere at the National a few weeks ago
Can report the Taylormade TP5x ball is MINT!!
Definitely on the agenda to try them
Ever since Serge was smacking them long at the Masters and showing great iron play, my mate has been keen on buying a dozen, so ill grab a couple of him...
Still like my chrome soft and super soft...
I have been testing out a Wilson Staff Tour FG F5 driver for the last few rounds and went in for a fitting today at 1pm. It is a 9° driver that can be adjusted down 1° or up 2 degrees in 1° increments. I tried it and a Srixon driver. He didn't worry about Titleist.
The testing showed that the Wilson Staff driver with a stiff shaft was the best fit for me. However, I struggle to get good launch off the tee. Matt, the pro, recommended I get this driver with the 10.5° standard setup and to use it set at 11.5°. Paid $450. He said I can use the one I have been testing while I wait for the new driver.
Matt rang me at 3:30pm and said they don't make the Wilson Staff driver in the 10.5°. However, he could order the 9° driver in with a stiff shaft and I will receive a 15° 3 wood for free because of a deal Wilson Staff is running. I was happy with that. They are also putting a couple of layers of tape under the grip as my hands are quite big.
My swing speed is only about 95 to 96mph. It was very consistent. So was my spin revs and launch angle. I only get 200m carry with the driver because my launch angle is 9 to 10 degrees. My home course will give an extra 30 to 40m of run. I kept hitting a consistently small fade but found the fairway. My current driver is very erratic.
