Glen,
I am leaving for a 2-month journey to Australia in early February, with the first month dedicated to golfing while my wife in working. I contacted Michael Clayton, who advised me on the "must-sees";
SYDNEY - New South Wales and Newcastle
ADELAIDE - Royal Adelaide and Kooyonga
MELBOURNE - Royal Melbourne (East & West), Kingston Heath, Woodlands, Peninsula (North), Metropolitan, Yarra Yarra, Commonwealth
MORNINGTON PENINSULA - Portsea, National (Moonah), St. Andrews's Beach
TASMANIA - Barnbougle Dunes
I've added a few others, namely Royal Sydney, Victoria and Huntingdale to my itinerary, and perhaps a few others on the Peninsula like 13th Beach and the Dunes.
Everybody I have contacted, through this website and at each club has been extremely helpful and accomodating. I sent formal letters of introduction to most of the clubs, but at Jason said, contacting them through their website will also work nicely.
