Albert Park is a wonderful lay out and can challenge even the lower handicappers. Only issue I have with it is that it is quite yellow at the moment and it does not seem to be getting any better which is unfortunate.Fairways are decent sized and the course throws up a few suprise holes. One tip if doing 18, start on the back 9 as the last 3 holes are a killer if your tired.

Went there today for a hit for the 1st time. The scenery is quite different with the lake on the side, the road on the other and the CBD. The course has a fairly good layout, though the drought has totally destroyed the fairways. The one big positive is that the condition of the greens are the best of any public course in Melbourne. Overall I’d rate this course 14/15/20 though it can improve to 18/20 if the condition of the fairways improves. Worth a hit once every few months.

Its a lovely course located in the middle of Melbourne. The scene is lovely, when windy it can be difficult, Driving Accuracy is quite vital. Greens werent up to standard, however the practise green was in a great and pure state.

The course is in very good condition considering the drought we are in and the state of the other public courses in Melbourne. Fairways were forgiving with plenty of bail-out areas and very lush although the grass was a bit long which allowed little run. Greens were in a fair condition save for the all the unrepaired pitch marks left by the beginner golfers who should be educated. Great for a bit of a laugh with friends but not really a challenge as it’s as flat as a table with very few hazards to get you into trouble.

Played here on Sunday. Ground condition is great- could sink a long tee into the ground at every hole and the greens are in great condition – shame people don’t fix their plug marks. Fairways had plenty of run. No sand buckets at the pro shop though… pretty poor considering how chopped up parts of the course are. Well worth a visit. Enjoy the views of the fantastic Melbourne skyline, incl Eureka tower!

Not a bad public course for the money. They have been renovating the greens recently so that should improve things dramatically. The fairways are fairly rough so don’t expect alot of run from them, even with the drought. The front 4 or 5 holes run next to the lake with the road between so there’s quite a bit of wildlife watching you play, which is very pleasant, although they do tend to leave things behind them so watch your step. Overall a good course to keep your hand in.

PROS

• Excellent proximity to the city, even for a quick 9 holes at lunchtime.

the course especially with the drought is a bit dry so it allows the ball to roll quite a bit

not a very long course but very enjoyable to play

make sure you allow $2 to park in the golf course carpark

Pretty good public course set in a great location.

The pro-shop staff are friendly and helpful and price for 18 holes is excellent value.

The first couple of holes are relatively easy and should see you off to a good start. The next 3-4 holes are good tests of your second shot. The 3rd has a bloody palm tree in the way that I always seem to hit (no matter where I am on the fairway). The 4th has a green the size of a postage stamp and requires a precision 2nd shot. The 5th has a couple of greenside bunkers that are definetly in play. The 6th is a very nice par 5 that requires a couple of very long shots to get on in 2.

The 11th is my favourite - dead straight par 5 with the city skyline on the horizon - spectactular view!! The 15th is a horror par 3 -170+ metres to a tiny green with huge bunkers waiting to gobble-up your ball.

All in all, a good golfing experience.

Can occasionally be a little damp underfoot. It always seems to rain the day/night before I get down to this course.

Not a bad medium size course which is generally in pretty good condition given the amount of traffic that it has to cope with. In good weather it is a great place to spend the afternoon (assuming that you don't hook anything on the first couple of holes). IMO the best holes on the course are the middle 6 or so

Also, almost all other public courses (and a couple of private ones) around Melbourne could learn something about crowd control from the staff at Albert Park as the marshalling at this course is second to none. Despite the occasionally heavy traffic, the round just flows along, thanks to the ongoing course control.

For about $20 you can get to play less than 3kms from the city. Highlights include the bevy of joggers and walkers that go by which makes hooking your ball almost a pleasure. Course is flat and not overly long but can bring you undone if not paying attention. Anything way left on half the holes will either find lots of trees or an angry motorist. The staff are amongst the friendliest at a golf course I have ever played at. And you can buy and drink cold beer or spirits in a can during your round. Oh and a barbecue sizzles to feed you behind the 5th and 11th holes. A real social atmosphere. And they employ marshalls to make sure the pace is kept up. Truly great value for money.
