It is not a golf course. The maintenance are very bad. It was not a pleasure to play there. I can not recommend to play there....

We did have fun. It was very challenging, but the experience was well worth the effort. We would recommend it to any golfer or aspiring golfer and it broke up the driving boredom.

Fabulous Fun. It got me & dog out of the car on a regular basis. Never played golf before, might consider it now.
Loved the variation in courses & locations & vegetation. Signage, personalised stories of locals was informative & interesting. Everyone I spoke to was so helpful. Will definitely recommend this.

We would never have done this trip and got to see the amazing part of Australia that is the Nullarbor, if it hadn't been for the Chasing the Sun golf tournament. Thanks again to everyone who made this such a fabulous event and we wish you all the best for future events.

— Ron & Sue M. QLD
11 April 2024
The Chasing the Sun tournament 2024 was an absolute privilege to be a part of. Even as a non-golfer, I had one of the most rewarding experiences of socialising and meeting new friends from all over the world. The tournament was well organised by two outstanding hosts in Graeme & Bea Wilmot who have just taken over from the original two wonderful gentlemen Alf & Bob, who started this concept some 15 years ago. I can thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants some fun & adventure & of course golf, to be part of the tour in 2025. You won't be disappointed.

It was a fantastic adventure for all of us, and we have been spreading
the word. For me the strongest memories are of the kindness shown to us by so many people - the
members of Ceduna Golf Club serving us a dawn breakfast, the good townsfolk of Norseman putting
on a wonderful drover's dinner, the helpfulness of all at Kalgoorlie GC, the generosity of Houghton
wines, etc, etc. As you say Bernie was an amazing discovery (and is he just now discovering his own
hidden talents?), and it is great you have locked him in to next year's program.
Overall, I thought this year's format was brilliant,

We had such a great time and thank you and your
Committee for a wonderful experience like no other!
We have told many of our friends from bowls and our golf clubs about our trip and I
would think that they will be very interested for next year! Our high regard for you and Paula
throughout the trip is testament to your great hospitality towards each and every one of us.
You are a very patient man Alf and it has been a pleasure to meet you both.
— Margie and John Mcleish WA
7 May 2016
This is a great concept, well done Alf and Committee.
- We have made a number of new friends, and hopefully over time these friendships will continue.
- Bernie Scott, what an absolute hoot! The best all round entertainer we have seen for a long time,
also a golfer, and a genuine nice bloke. Please try to keep him on the Tour.
- Jeff Richardson "Drone Man" what a great effort he put in, up early, late to bed, editing and also a
really friendly nice guy, can't wait to see the finished product (DVD)
- We enjoyed the golf a bit different to what we are used to, especially the "sand " greens many
unusual challenges but certainly well worth the effort. Kalgoorlie was a joy to play after the others.

Hi Alf.
. Have just returned to WA after playing our way over the Nullarbor and then on to the Murray River for more golf We had so much fun on the Nullarbor Links. Many lost balls and many laughs. 4 in the one car could have been a bit testy but thanks to the laughter along the way we all got on very well. The crow at Nullarbor we think must have departed to further fields as luckily no sign although on the way hole we had a hit at Caiguna and crows there helped themselves to a couple of nicely coloured balls.
It was a great experience and I just wanted to say thanks for all the thought you and the team put into it.
Good luck and again thanks we had a ball{lost a few too}.
Cheers Sally Campbell

What an amazing tournament!
What started off as a tribute to a great father in law and dad John who spoke very highly of Chasing the Sun and wanted us to experience it for ourselves and that we did.
Not only did we make him proud but we also made a lifetime of memories and friendships, there was laughter, tears and many stories told. A trip we will hold close to our hearts so to you and your wonderful crew, we thank you. Will definitely we back again!

Great concept.
it took us 7 Days.
There is a view that the stop overs help reduce accidenta and driver fatigue.
this could be promoted.
The rough holes are not for the faint hearted.
The nullarbor drive has few diversions it needs the concept.

Hi Alf, Just a note to say how we enjoyed the pleasure of playing the course. It was a real life experience and we would like to say the planning and the development is great. Very impressed with the way things have been organized. Just one small criticism was that a couple of holes were made very difficult with the course blue metal surrounding the green.Maybe a little thought be given to making it of sand or some type of finer metal. Not a complaint just a suggestion. Once again heaps of praise for the course.
Thanks for the opportunity to play,
Jack. Bertoli.

Morning Alf,
Just thought I'd let you know that my son (Felix, aged 9) and I completed the Nullarbor Links last week - and had a fantastic time.
I was quite pleased to score 90 with only a 5-iron, 7-iron, wedge and putter - but not nearly as excited as Felix who beat me by 2! There was plenty of (good humoured) tension as we hit off at Ceduna for the last 2 holes with just a shot between us...
Highlight for Felix was no doubt Norseman where on both holes he holed from off the green!
We only saw a few other golfers but all were certainly enjoying the unique experience. One gave us the tip to spray aeroguard on our balls at Nullarbor to stop the crow taking them, and it seemed to work.
So we will now be spreading the word and thank you for putting together such an experience.
Cheers
Angus

Fantastic well done all. Last time we did the nullarbor it was a needs must get home very quickly and the Nullarbor was a blur. I was so good to take our time (6 days) this time. We really enjoyed all the hidden corners. the fairways were sometimes interesting but that is all aprt of it. top marks to the artificial greens.

Hi Alf
Just want to congratulate you on the vision you had to create something that is so unusual and so rewarding for the townships across the Nullabor
We, amongst many other hundreds of people, have been “forwarding” your website to all we know to promote what will become an Aussie Icon
Great job!
Thank you!

Hi Alf,
Thought I would let you know that we completed the Nullabor Links yesterday and loved doing it. We did the round trip from Norseman to Kalgoorlie and got our certificate at Ceduna. It was a great way to cross the Nullabor. It took your mind off the long endless road. Some of the holes were incredible. Congratulations to you for your effort. We think it will be a great success. Thanks for suggesting we drive to Kalgoorlie to start it.
Regards Bob and Trish

Congratulations
Both yourself and Dan Harrington should be extremely proud of your achievements and deserve recognition for your hard work, your foresight and determination with Nullarbor Links. All those who shared your ideas and made them come true, should also be proud of their achievements. You have given people another reason to enjoy the vast and beautiful Nullarbor Plains, Australia thanks you for that. If I have the opportunity in the future I will play it, "although don't laugh, my score is more handicapped then I, I have epilepsy".
From one hacker to great golfers
CONGRATULATIONS

Very interesting and challanging, Great ideas
Loved playing the course it made the trip very pleasant..
— Vanessa Holman WA
26 October 2009
We really enjoyed the course although our scores were a little to be desired.
We strike strong winds onsome holes which made them harder. The scrub around some par 3 made them challinging. The march flies at Border Village were unique and the grass seed at Eucla were uncomfortable. But all in all it got us out of the car for execise to break up the trip.Enjoyed the Synthetic greens. The certificate at the end were great.

— Chris Lindsey Vic
14 October 2009
Congratlations to those responsible for the concept- Brillant.
On the side, We were disapointed on the lack of signage as soon as we crossed from into South Australia. I gusses a gun to shoot the crow would be out of the question.
Having said all that it was great fun despite gale force winds and driving rain and losing 5 balls.
— Bette Bowes and Val Stark NSW

Great concept forcing breaks in the drive.
Congratlations on a great Idea.

A very different golf course.
Difficult on some holes Ie Wombat Hole, Dingo's Den. Enjoyable- with heaps of laughs espicially when the crow flew off with 5 balls ( 3 brand new ).
Wonderful Greens once used to them.
Congratulations on achieving this dream.
— Bill and Brenda Ivey WA

As a non Golfer I found it enjoyable tackling every fairway.
The staff at each tee were very helpful.
At one roadhouse, Mundrabilla I think, the lady has a white board with the current score to beat I felt this was encouraging.
— Pat Mc Ewan
25 September 2009
Nullarbor roadhouse hole shoud be called "the crows". That bloody crow pinched all our balls. I think its a wonderful concept, as it get people out of the car and do some exercise.But it needs to be made a little eaiser ( this is a female point of view).
— Di Clifton VIC
23 September 2009
A wonderful conception. Some hole were like nothing I had ever experienced before.
I will recomend to friends, members and golfers in the clubs where ever I visit to give this a go. I am sure it will be a great discussion item and somrething that will remain in my memory for ever.

Hi Alf,
A few weeks ago I phoned you from Brisbane when my wife and I were contemplating playing the Nullarbor Links during our drive back to Perth.
I’m happy to report that we completed the course during the past week, and had a ton of fun doing it. As middling golfers, we encountered every hazard, which added to the enjoyment of it all.
Although we’ve crossed the Nullarbor several times over the years, and thought we know a lot about it, this time was a whole new learning experience for us.
You, and all those associated with the development of the Links from concept to reality over the 5-year period, are to be commended for your persistence and what you have achieved thus far. I understand that, to date, about 70 have now played the course, and it does not officially open until next month! We’re sure it will be a great success as more people hear about it. Congratulations, and all the best for next month’s tournament!
I thought you might be interested in some notes we made along the way (see attached), which I’ve excerpted from a compilation we put together for friends, which contains our notes and photos, combined with what you’ve made available on the website.
Regards & best wishes,
Ken and Anne Bird

would just like to say that our group had the pleasure of playing the course starting on the 15th August and we believe we are probably the first Kiwi’s to complete it. It really made driving that distance very enjoyable, guessing what the next hole will be. There were challenges and as we were 3 men and 3 women, we did feel the men had an advantage over us. We also suggested changing Wombat Hole to Crows nest after loosing 8 balls to the resident crow. The Road House could make a profit if they find the nest.
I am attaching a photo of us Teeing off. Thanks for the idea.

When we first heard of the concept maybe 2 years ago, we wondered. Now we have played a couple of holes on the way over from Ceduna, and it looks like being great for tourism. While incomplete when we played the holes, we found some holes were difficult to locate due to an absence of signs, I hope this will not deter foreigners. When I first enquired at Ceduna in July, the information centre had no idea about the concept, except it would start in October. I expect that this would be rectified automatically, once the program develops.
Congratulations to you and your members for staying the course, and pressing on with the concept. I will try a few more holes on the way back later in August. I wish you all great success,
