THE Metropolitan Golf Club, one of Melbourne’s renowned ‘Sandbelt’ courses and widely regarded as one of the finest championship courses in Australia, is located approximately 20 minutes from the CBD.
Metropolitan enjoys a reputation as one of the best-conditioned and most beautiful courses in the country.
Pure couch grass fairways with large, fast bent-grass greens that are hand-mown to the edges of the greenside bunkers add greatly to the challenge of the course.
In total, there are 106 bunkers and almost every hole is flanked by huge stands of Australian native trees which provide sanctuary to many species of native birds.
"I find it difficult to separate Royal Melbourne’s Composite Course, Kingston Heath and Metropolitan in terms of choosing Australia’s best layout.”
Adam Scott, 2013 US Masters Champion
