Consistently ranked in the Top-100 courses on the planet, Victoria Golf Club is one of the leading layouts on the world-renowned Melbourne Sandbelt.

Not resting on its laurels, however, Victoria completed major renovations to its greens in 2019 led by Ogilvy, Clayton, Cocking & Mead, who replaced the Poa Annua greens with Pure Distinction bentgrass and remodelled some of the putting surfaces. The results have been simply outstanding.

Andrew Anderson, one of Golf Australia magazine’s Top-100 Courses judges, said: “Victoria is the epitome of Melbourne Sandbelt golf. An old-world charm, which only enriches the experience. Recent work has seen slight design changes throughout and a complete resurface of the greens allowing enhancements to the contouring.”

The club, which was formed in 1903 and moved to its current site in Cheltenham in 1926, has hosted many major events over the years, including the Australian Open, Women’s Australian Open, Victorian Open, Australian Masters and Australian PGA Championship.

In addition to the wonderful golf course, Victoria Golf Club also boasts some of the best on-course accommodation in Australia. Its elegant, heritage-listed, three-storey clubhouse features 15 comfortably-appointed rooms – each with full ensuite facilities – with views of the grounds and golf course.

Play and stay packages are currently available at Victoria and start from $720 per person midweek and $820 on weekends. The packages include two nights’ accommodation, unlimited golf and all meals.
