I played here Monday 26th May Got through 18 holes in four hours which was good, although back nine was slowler due to 2 idiots in front of us. Fairways were pretty good, greens were quick. Plays short with only one par 5. Alot of challenging par 4’s with some nice dog legs which mean you have to weigh up the option of trying to drive greens or lay up. The back nine has some extreamly unforgiving dome shaped greens which really test your short game. Not a bad public course

The fairways and greens on this course were in surprisingly good condition, considering the lack of rain and the hot temperatures. You barely need the driver on this course...maybe twice for the round. For those who are good with the 5 wood and pitch, you should have a field day.

This course is rather short -- a number of par 4s are drivable or a drive and chip. However, you'll need to think twice about pulling out the driver on holes such as the, 6th, 10th and 13th. A number of greens are quite tricky and dome shaped so a good short game is needed to ensure that balls that land on the green stay on the green. Greens can be rock hard in summer too!

In summary, the course requires you to be imaginative and you'll get good scores if you manage your game here.

after reading some decent reviews i thought id give it a go yesterday..fairways were in terrible condition and most of the greens hadnt been well maintained..some seemed to be extra fast whilst others seemed like they hadnt been cut in a while whilst on some holes the grass on the edge of the green had died and dried out...very slow to get around the course aswell...took 2.5 hours to get around for 9 holes...do yourself a favour and give this course a miss..there are much better public courses within a 10-20km distance.

Freeway Golf is a course which has undergone some significant changes (and improvements) in recent years.

Four of the first six holes have been substantially altered. The ordinary par3 1st is now a quality par5, while the 6th hole, formerly an easy par3 over water, is now an even better par4, with the water still in play if you go slightly left. Quality bunkers have been added to a few holes, further improving the strategic layout of the course.

I played Freeway as a youngster and until my recent visit had not been back for many years. While I was impressed with the recent changes to the layout of the course, I was disappointed with the maintenance on some of the holes. A number of the fairways are extremely patchy - while this might be expected on the newly laid fairways, it was dissapointing that it also occurred on a number of established holes, slightly detracting from my game. I also found the number of small dome shaped greens (on the back nine) a little frustrating, with the ball often rolling off the green on even the most well placed shots.

Freeway is a short course and many of the par4s can be reached with a good drive and a (very) short wedge. A long hitter could reach at least 3 of the greens in one shot if accurate off the tee. Yet despite it's short length, the often narrow fairways and numerous doglegs make Freeway an entertaining place to play. Good shots are rewarded and bad ones are penalised, with water in play on a number of holes.

With it's recent changes, Freeway could become (if the the course maintenance is improved) one of the best public courses in Melbourne. It is also good value for money and usually moves pretty quickly. If you only have time for nine, I suggest the front, which is now vastly superior to the back which can be a little repetitive.

This course is now one of melbournes best public courses. The course is really good for the price of green fees. The first hole a par five cracker serves as a great challenge of the tee. The course is not too long with a good drive of the tees the greens on two or three par fours are reachable in one, on many of the other holes a good drive then a short to mid iron can be used, so start practicing your mid irons and I garante a low score in the high 70s and 80s for a 10-20 handicapper. For the people who want a challenge two par fourse measuring around 400-500 yards will test your driving up narrow fairways and up hills. Getting onto the fairway is the first challenge then ripping a 3 or 5 fairway wood to the green is not so easy as the greens are raised with valleys of sin measuirng around metres high on 5 or six holes will test you. So good luck it's a great course for 10-20 handicappers and begginers.

We played after it had been raining for a week and there was water everywhere. The water hazards were under water so couldn;t find the hazard markers. That said the course was in remarkable nick. Not long but in the wet long enough. A good drive off most tees will give you a mid/small iron in. Which is not a problem as that is what the pros do on championship courses. Will play this again for sure. Under 20 bucks on a sunday and they take social groups.

An interesting course to play on. Seems short but deceptive. Though the course is undergoing some redevelopment (the 1st hole an existing Par 3 is going to be a cracker of a Par 5).

Good mix of narrow as well as wide fairways allows you to mix your shots off the tee. The greens, so as flat as a plate and the other - a dome, makes putting challenging.

Reasonable dose of water around the course (not a lot actually).

For the long hitters, some of the par 4s can be a pleasure to play.

Get there early in the morning to be in & out in less than 3.5 hrs.
