Berhampore Golf Course is another one that irks me.
Apparently the Mornington Golf Club are against the idea of having a cycle way pass through there. It wouldn't even reduce the already significant amount of land they get to use - it would just be a pathway so that people could cycle through the golf course instead of having to risk their lives on Adelaide Road.
I wasn't there but I was told one of them said at a meeting about it "and we've already given up part of the course for the kids mountain bike track". You know - that tiny bit of land directly opposite Wakefield Park that wasn't even part of the golf course!!
Some people's sense of entitlement and lack of community spirit is amazing.
In all seriousness, putting a cycle path through a golf course imposes huge risk and increased insurance payments due to the risk of someone getting hit by a ball, deliberately or otherwise.
Not sure ratepayers would be happy incurring this extra cost to keep some soap dodging hippies happy
Not a direct comparison, but you can bike through Shandon Golf Course. The stopbank is public access, but not part of any official cycle trail.
