Elsternwick is a favourite amongst locals – it's park-like setting attracts abundant birdlife, a good dry-weather golf course, friendly staff, and public transport access to the course is unparalleled, with trams, trains, buses, and of course Nepean Highway all on the doorstep.
It really is a golfer's oasis just 10 minutes from the city.
Whilst we're only 9 holes, Elsternwick has long been regarded as one of Melbourne's favourite golfing playgrounds.
Rules are relaxed, dress is casual and the course is surprisingly well groomed for a small inner suburban track.
There are a good mixture of holes, from the shortest of short par 3's, like the 134m 2nd, to the longest hole, the 320m 9th. The fairways are well grassed thanks to an irrigation system having been installed in 1999. The greens, whilst generally small, are consistent and offer reward for good putters without being too treacherous for beginners! And to make sure every element of your game is given a chance to blossom, there are plenty of bunkers and a couple of water carries also!
