Melbourne Golf Highlights

With Melbourne Australia home to some of the world's best golf courses, there are a lot of golfing attractions to explore. To book a round on most of the private Melbourne golf courses you will need a letter of introduction from the Secretary of your club. Generally only limited playing times are available for visitors.

Probably the best known of the Melbourne private courses is the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Cheltenham Road, Black Rock. It has been described as golfing perfection - a combination of perfect location, design and construction.

Kingston Heath Golf Course in Kingston Rd, Cheltenham is Australia's second top course, with superb greens and bunkers.

The home of the Australian Masters Tournament is Huntingdale Golf Course, in Windsor Ave, South Oakleigh. It is known for very tight drives and immaculate, fast greens.

The Commonwealth Golf Course in Glenne Ave, South Oakleigh is deceptively simple, with well contoured greens and bunkers designed to challenge you.

Other courses dotted across the Melbourne map are the Yarra Yarra Golf Course in Warrigal Rd, Bentleigh East. Metropolitan Golf Course in Golf Rd, South Oakleigh and the Peninsula Golf Course in Skye Rd, Frankston.

Of course, if you can't book into a private course at the time you are looking for, Melbourne, Victoria has some superb public golf courses to try. Right in the heart of Melbourne is the Albert Park Golf course in Queens Road, Albert Park. A bit further out is the Brighton Public Golf Course in Dendy St, Brighton which is described as an all Melbourne weather course.
