Corangamite Veteran Golfers – Camperdown Stableford.

We were back to normal this round with a Club Stableford event played by 46 players at the Camperdown Golf Course on Tuesday 6th October 2025.

After all the recent rain, there was some doubt as to whether the course would be open, but we were assured it would be in great shape and open to carts — and it certainly was. The Camperdown members are to be congratulated for presenting their course in such fine condition. The fairways, greens, and surrounds were all looking excellent, a clear sign of the hard work put in by the local team.
