Royal Melbourne Golf Club
Founded in 1891, the Royal Melbourne Golf Club is the oldest golf club in Australia. Located in the suburb of Black Rock in Melbourne, Victoria, the Royal Melbourne Golf Course consists of two courses — the West Course and the East Course. The West Course is ranked the best in Australia and is also one of the world’s top ten golf courses, while the East Course holds a slightly lower status.
Designed by the renowned Scottish golf course architect Alister Mackenzie, the Royal Melbourne Golf Course is not only an exceptionally fine course but also a beautiful landmark in the Melbourne suburbs. The roughs surround the tees and bunkers, blending naturally with the turf, and each hole presents a landscape gifted by nature. The greens are designed with simplicity and elegance, featuring flowing, undulating contours that unpredictably increase the challenge of each shot... All of these elements make this vibrant course capable of hosting various world-class tournaments and place it among the very best golf courses in the world.
