Par 3 Courses In Australia

I played at a par 3 golf course today.

It was a lot of fun. It's way more chill than a full length course and I can actually make a lot of pars as a 22 handicap.

The question I was thinking about whilst playing was:

Can we have more par 3 courses in Australia (Melbourne specifically)?

The course had both the par 3 and a full length course which was an awesome use of the space.

Perhaps in Australia we can turn courses that kind of suck (like Burnley) into quality par 3 courses.

It's easier for people getting into the game to play on par 3 courses and pace of play is also much better.

Perhaps there should be some kind of rule where until you get a handicap stick to public par 3 courses?

That's probably harsh but at the same time I think it makes sense.
