Golf for people who just want to play a game of golf. You don’t wake up all excited to go play at Burnley, but you rock up for a casual hit and enjoy taking it easy on a golf course rather than worrying about your score. Always great for a hit/catch up with mates. It’s where i started my golfing career and it always nice to go back and hit a few balls with mates from time to time. Great course for beginners and the casual golfer.

Played this course after work today. Over all is was an enjoyable experience, however they are in the middle of making changes to three greens and as a result it’s a bit all over the place. It’s a basic layout, cheap and close to the city. So if you are close to the area give it a go. I also play Royal Park quiet a bit and I have to say it’s a much better course, greens are better, layout is more interesting and it costs the same.

PROS

• quick
• close to the city
• cheap
• a couple of interesting holes

Cons

• greens mixed
• flat
• a little boring

All that has been written here before about Burnley is still true. However there are a few changes that have improved the place somewhat. A new green on the third hole. Also the seventh and ninth holes, once easy par fours, are now, relatively tricky par threes. (Men’s par 33)

PROS

• Close to the city for the pre/post work 9 hole
• New club playing 9 hole comps

Cons

• Busy on the weekend fostering new golf talent.

Situated at the east end of Swan St, this course is easily accessible for those close to the city or for those living in the SE suburbs. Grounds are kept well, with most greens running true. Having said that, some greens could have been in better condition. Pretty cheap to play ($13) and well suited for the high handicapper as all the holes are straight and flat.

I have been playing the Burnley course every Friday morning for the last 10 months and I must say that over all it is very well maintained and a nice course to play before heading to work. Holes are nothing to difficult but enough to get your brain ready\clear before work.. Definitely worth checking out.

"royal" Burnley has been an institution in Melbourne for years and is now under threat from developers. A great little course that has began the pastime of many of us. No water, plenty of trees and a few bunkers but largely flat with elevated greens. Is nearly always in top nick and close to the city. And cheap to play. The public deserve more with their parks than have it turned into "apartments/condominiums" for yuppies. Great for a game before the footy.
