Wow, what a present from my lovely Ally.. last weekend we went up to the Hunter Valley, known for the vinyards, and the presentations of all big Australian Wine brands.
( Link: Hunter Valley )
To top it off Ally booked a Villa at Cypress Lakes Resort, which is a 5 star resort with an amazing Championship Golf Course designed by Steve Smyers. (Link: Cypress Lakes Resort).
Overlooking the incoming of the 17th hole, a nice drive over the lake into a split 2 level fairway, in front of an elevated green.
Besides the fact that the Villa on the resort was an Amazing 2 stories 2 bedroom house, with fireplace, the resort provided shuttle service to and from on demand. Our Villa was situated overlooking the Tee of the now 12th hole (old 7th).
Overlooking the 12th, from the medal tee, the pin is situated dogleft after the ridge you see after the last fairway visual able.
I played twice that weekend, ones on saterday and the next time on monday morning.. to make this whole story more jetset, on saterday morning before I hit off, I stood on the driving range to warm up a bit, and next to me a chopper landed to pick up some guests, I mean.. how jetset is that! pff..
Overlooking the 7th (Old 15th), playing over a vinyard again, long par 5 with a very big dip.
The weekend besides playing on such a fantastic course and keeping my score under the 100, was fantastic.. I mean the Hunter Valley is so nice and such a dreamy different place.... amazing. All the big Australian wine brands have theire own wine tasting facilities. Besides wine there are also some nice cheese shops, and I tasted some really nice local blue cheeses. In the "Smelly Cheese Shop", I could also pick up a piece of Frico "Cumin" Cheese.. haha.. as in very dutch PITJESKAAS! lol
This was an amazing weekend on an amazing golf course in a beautifull and again amazing place.. and I had an amazing good time.. Thank you Ally! thank you.. very very much!
We hadden wel mee gewild. Doet ons terugdenken aan februari 2005 toen we zo hebben genoten van onze dagtrip naar de Hunter Valley en ook hebben mogen proeven van de kazen, chocolade , de verschillende wijnen maar vooral ook van de schitterende omgeving.
Tis idd een magische omgeving, vooral nu het winter achtig is, met de bomen in herfst kleuren..
Heb een wijntje op jullie gedronken, en kon begrijpen nu dat jullie het mooi vonden.
