GOLF COURSES WOODLANDS Golfers will remember Woodlands because it tests all aspects of their shot making ability. The greens are small, hard and very fast, the narrow fairways are all pure couch and offer a great surface from which to play and there are many bunkers to overcome, particularly the long bunker shots to pins which always seem to close to the bunker edge. It provides that overwhelming feeling that you have to work the ball around the course, and never, ever slog it. It is in fact, the most underrated golf course in Melbourne and only now are golfers becoming aware of the challenges it offers. Woodlands is a course of two parts. The first four holes require the exact placement of tee shots and a delicate pitch shot to ensure a par. It has been said that one must be at least a couple under after four holes if one is to score well around Woodlands, since most of the following holes provide formidable challenges to a golfer seeking a par round.
SANDHURST Sandhurst Club's two courses are nationally renowned for their challenging but fair design outstanding condition and stunning visual appeal. Sandhurst is the Official Home of the PGA of Australia; home of the PGA Q School; and the Legends Tours is held on the courses annually. The Club has previously hosted the Victorian PGA Championships and both courses are currently ranked in Australia's top 100. Sandhurst is also the official corporate golf club of the St Kilda Football Club.
EYNESBURY All of the holes at Eynesbury have been strategically designed to allow for the greatest variance of prevailing weather conditions and to accommodate the widest range of golfing abilities. The fairways are generous and inviting targets however positional play from the tees will always be handsomely rewarded by providing the best angle of attack to the greens. In most instances the approaches to the greens are receptive to a ball being played low to the ground and for the creative shot maker this will prove to be a bonus when the wind is whipping across the open farm lands. The open creeks traversing a number of the holes and the water bodies on the 10th, 14th, and 18th bring the risk reward factor aspect of the game to the forefront but always allow for alternative options if the player should feel inclined to take a safer way to the target.
MANDALAY Five time British Open Champion and renowned golf course architect Peter Thomson, principal of the golf course architecture firm Thomson Perrett has proudly designed the Mandalay Golf Course. Peter and his team have successfully converted flat grazing farmland into a stunning contoured golf course that will challenge players of all skill levels.

The golf course proudly follows in the tradition of these iconic golf courses and further enhances the Thomson Perrett golf course legacy.
