A one of a kind golf course, nothing like it in Melb.
What other course can a wayward shot have the possibility of hitting the westgate freeway onramp, a storm water drain (complete with abandoned bicycle), an abandonded warehouse, the vline rail track or a scrap yard?
Walk On tee times and free from the pretension of other courses i have recently played and is in suprisingly good nick (low player numbers i guess?)
Nice price, and great to invite golf snobbish mates to for a laugh (ahh the serenity!)
Confusing layout though, maybe put a map on the scorecard?

Preety much one of the worst courses in melbourne. The area is dirty, not much parking and smells of fuel. The greens were terrible. If you landed in the fairway, you mights as well landed in the rough. The people who play there didn’t look like golfers. Though the prices were cheap, i might as well played at Alotona Lakes 5 minutes away for 3$ more.
PROS
- Its cheap.
Cons
- Too many to list.

I hope I turned up to this course on a bad day. The greens were pathetic. Grey sand covering 25-45% of all greens. I was hitting my putts harder than my drives. The course is confusing. A par 9 trying to be a 18. Trains, cars, graffiti, if this is your idea of golf then all welcome. I play of 18 I shot 3 over after 9 because I could not play another 9. The par 3’s on this course are though are really fun. And hard. Is worth a visit for these.

I started playing here 15 years ago and progressed to a scratch marker five years later so proved to be a good starter! Always in fairly good nick and is very challenging. A par three around a bend, a long driver mid iron par 4 and a good selection of well laid out short par threes. This course is short but no snack, smallish elevated greens, tricky mounds and difficult lies. Pars on some holes at little westgate are well earned. This course is perfect for an after work social round. Friendly patronage and cheap rates. Check it out.

I’ve been playing this course for about a month now and love it!
I only started playing golf 4 months ago and this course is excellent for a beginner. With undulating hills, a water hazard on 4 of the holes and challenging greens this course inspires one to return and play some challenging shots.
The course is lush with all the winter rain and the westgate freeway offers a great urban backdrop to many of the holes.
Sunday mornings are members tournaments, so get in their early on Saturday!
Hope this helps

The main thing this course has going for it is value for money. $17 for 18 holes on a weekend and it is relatively quiet with not too much traffic. There is enough variety with the holes to keep you interested and is in fairly good nick for the price you pay. Check it out if your after a cheap, quick game.

Pretty good value for 9 holes. For the middle of a drought and water restrictions, this course was in pretty good condition.
Fairways were in average to good condition, however the greens are in excellent condition!
Not such a busy course, especially last Saturday, with no groups in front or behind. Only complaint is that a couple of the par 4’s were perhaps a little long.
Overall, definately worth the money.

Under the bridge. Short par 3 opener, bunkers at the front, freeway behind. Don't be long on this hole or the Geelong bound lanes may suffer!
The greens are very good and the fairways not too bad for a dry season. There is a doozie of a Par 3 hole 5 I think, I never had a birdie op and I never quite cracked the course. Good for a Saturday morning hit as members play on Sunday. It's a short course but it's better than Altona or the driving range.

Strange place for a golf club, under the biggest & busiest bridge in Melb. Good track for those starting ouy=t on there game. Careful cause I heard “fore” called a least 20 times during my round. Not as easy as it looks. But for a golfer who get around a little I’ll give it a miss next time. Feature hole would be the 8/17th hole next to the power transformer a few locals croming with spray cans. But if you look past all this you’ll love it
