The course is in above average condition for a public course in these drought conditions. Fairways are reasonably lush with only minor patches of bareness and the greens are true-rolling. Layout is relatively straightforward and there aren’t really any memorable holes.

My one big gripe….they must hire a Course Marshall. Our round took 5.25 hours to complete which is unacceptable, even on the busiest days. One group was holding everyone up and making everyone else’s day a nightmare. Something should have been done.

good course all up, not long but challanging enough with bunkers on most holes and the tightness on fairways. greens are real nice to putt on and a good lay out. first played here in feb 07 after a real dry spell and the fairways were dry and patchy. would giv it 4 stars no problems but played it again in dec 07 and after rain it was only a little more greener, seen better fairways on worse courses.

Amstel golf club has a championship golf course (Ranfurlie) in addition to to the public Park Course. The Park layout is still preferred by some members, despite the potential for delays caused by non handicap players. This is largely due to it being less subject to the local strong breezes and because, by some, is perceived to be an easier and more interesting lay-out. The park course is in surprisingly good condition despite the use it is subjected to and is a credit to the management of the facility. The course is serviced by a highly professional pro shop who ensure everyone gets a genuine warm welcome.

I have played this course a number of times and found it to be very enjoyable. The greens are in reasonible nick and the fairways are quite nice. I agree with the safety concerns on some of the holes. One time I was leaning on my club standing about 5 metres back from a friend who was teeing off on the 6th hole when a ball hit my club on the full. Not impressed. No fore called or anything Bad etiquette is not the clubs fault, no fence is! I have noticed that because the course is slightly overbooked a lot of players are impatient and tend to hit their drives before you are out of range. (I do hope management reads this at some point and takes notes)

Anyway, love the course apart from that, the par 3's are all unique, one has a very nice water carry if the tee is in the right spot. The opening hole is a good example of how the rest of the course plays, wanting more accuracy than distance. A lovely course that runs a special on saturday mornings, $24 for 18 holes is a good bargin for this course if your happy to be delayed on a few holes. One time a staff member even drove up to us on the 9th hole and gave us drink cards for the delays.

All the greens in my opinion are quite good, like any green on this planet there are still divots not fixed by previous players but again, not so much the clubs fault. I try to fix at least 5 divots that are not mine on any course (something i would encourage of all players to help maintain good greens around melbourne). Most of the bunkers are pretty good but a couple of them need some more sand. the fairways are quite good as well and only a few patchy spots, keep in mind when playing this course that its not royal melbourne, they have hundreds of players through everyday, can't expect the grass to be perfect (again, many players will not fix their divots, a little sand goes a long way). The fairways are still much better than most places of the same price.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course on previous occasions and will again in the future, many, many times.

As per the review in April 2005, the course does not appear to have changed much condition wise over the last 10 months or so. Fairways are still patchy on all holes in some places.

Fair comment about the safety issues - really it needs improving - even a few mesh fences would help, especially at holes 2, 3, 6. Also as many of the holes back onto each other there's a fair likelihood you'll get someone driving onto your hole as well.

The initial run of holes, if the course is loaded up with groups on weekends, takes until the 4th hole to get a clear run. We waited for three groups on the 3rd before we could hit...

Greens also were a bit lumpy, but were receptive to a well hit iron at least.

Bunkers could do with some actual sand in them. Granted it had rained a little but they were all hard pan and not good enough for a course of this cost.

Having winged a bit above, I do like the par 3s on this course - all quite challenging. Some good par 5s as well. Nice tall gums and pines and quite a few cockatoos around the back nine particularly.

Enjoyed the course overall, although I felt it should have been in better condition for the money asked. Good deal Wed/Thu presently - pay 9 play 18 for $20. Otherwise its $32 on weekends.

Played the course yesterday for the first time. General Layout of the course was good, except for three suicidal holes. There are two holes with humps in the fairway which make it dangerous when teeing off as you can not see the group if they are about 200m in front of you. Also there is a Par 3 green which is right behind the tee-off to the next hole...very dangerous. Conditions of the fairways are a bit patchy...rough in some areas. Greens are inconsistent...some are fast, watch-out for those downhill putts. Probably a bit on the expensive side for $32.00 green fee. Nice 19th hole.

Played it for the first time cup weekend. We had a lot of rain previously which I assumed was the reason for the light rough being very long (and we kept losing balls) and the bunkers being hard. Interesting course that relies more on precision than big hitting and the more you play there the easier it would play. Clubhouse is excellent with TAB, pokies, good menu and well priced beers. Under 30 bucks which is great value for this type of course and only a further 30 minutes from the sandbelt area of Melbourne. I hope next time the sand is back in bunkers though as it made getting out of them easy but a fluke if you stopped it.
