Had the pleasure of staying as a house guest recently when in town for business and playing the course on a Saturday morning in their comp.
Everything about this place screams tradition and quality – both on and off the course. There’s no time sheet and no loudspeakers – just wander up to the starter on the day to be sent off. I arrived and was quickly paired with 3 very friendly members then on my way.
Despite the fortnight of heavy rains causing floods in most of Victoria the much heralded sandbelt drainage rang true with the fairways, greens and bunkers all dry, fast and true.
First hole belies what is coming as at 230m it beckons to be driven and screams “early birdie” but can easily deliver bogey or worse if not given some respect and forethought. What follows is sure to test and delight golfers of all levels with a balanced array of short and long holes. The greens are generally vast and contoured, the bunkers are shapely and consistent in their play and the course uses the lands attributes very well.
Sadly my form on the day wasn’t great but I still thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will be back to visit again very soon.

Played here a couple of times and also trekked around as pennant support a number of times over the past years.
Even when the couch is dormant there is a full cover of grass and the greens are always in sensational shape (and lightning quick). The bunkers are also almost always in great condition.
Fairly wide fairways but anything wayward can be punished (as you would expect on a course of this stature).
I would recommend that anyone jump at the chance to play here although make sure that you get plenty of practice in first because at the visitor prices you don't want to turn up and waste the round by playing like crap.

Played this the day after the PGA a few years ago. Unfortunately it poured but when you get a free game you battle on. Every hole is an adventure with heaps of bunkers and quick greens, which fortunately for us the rained slowed down. Tee trees punish any errant shot (if you can find your ball) and plently of length (off the championship tees) for a 22 handicapper. Superb clubhouse. don't know if I'd pay $160 for it but if you do it only once why not. Fairways were like hitting off carpet and no excuse for duffing any iron.

Played here the day after the club championships. Fairways were like carpet but ugly in the rough. some of the best bunkering I’ve come across (filled with light, fluffy sand) An absolute pleasure to play.
