Barnbougle # 3 ?
« on: April 20, 2013, 09:56:04 AM »
I saw on Instagram that they were scouting new clubhouse ideas for the third course at Barnbougle.  Any word on where and who will be designing this one?

There's land for more, but I saw Richard Sattler (of all people!) at The Masters just a week ago, and he said he wasn't sure they would pursue another course anytime in the near future.

Not sure how Instagram would know something Richard doesn't, but it would be a surprise to me.

If it happens then it will be away from the coast in an area with trees (Barnbougle Trails  :)  ). Supposed to be more sheltered. Probable designer already selected.

Long segment on the National broadcaster country program, "Landline" on Barnbougle Dunes as a hugely successful option for poor farmland, I will try and put a link for it on a separate thread.

It is a great insight into the Sattler family.

Interviewer: Lost Farm's in the top 50 courses in the world. Now everyone wants to know: will there be a third?

RICHARD SATTLER: We tell everyone a different story now 'cause rumours are marvellous. If the market's there for more, well, we'll build it. We can certainly build another coastal course and we've got a beautiful inland site that we could build on.

That's a pretty funny answer, but dead honest, too.  Rumors are free publicity and most successful developers take advantage of that (and this site), whether or not there is anything behind them.

Anyone getting excited about Barnbougle 3 might want to read this.

According to the Becker rule of affordability, airfares are the only cheap thing in Australia.  If Airfares go up, the only people playing there will be Podiatrists.

Airfare and the actual golf are the only cheap things!  But screw it, new course or not, I'll be coming back no matter the cost.

- I should edit this as everything at BD/LF isn't outrageously expensive.  The mainland is a different story though.

Yes and no. Tickets were dirt cheap when I went, but we flew Virgin Australia when me and my dad went. We were going all over the place for a month, and compactly packed so it wasn't too much of a hassle to move around. Each flight had an extra baggage fee of 300 dollars for us, since we were overweight (and we also pre-purchased weight for our bags too!)
