Yarra Yarra Golf Club

Yarra Yarra Golf Club is located on the Warrigal Road south of Melbourne’s city centre, very close to Commonwealth and Metropolitan. Unlike most of its peers in the Sandbelt, there is a distinct shift in scene and strategy between the two nines. The front nine, the first seven holes of which are laid out on land north of the elegant brick clubhouse, are of a more intimate nature.

The 402-metre par 4 5th, which strokes 2 on the card, is a strong hole but the other holes on the nine call for controlled and accurate striking. The second nine is roomier and the fairway targets on the par 4s and 5s are on the generous side. The drama is stored up for the complicated green complexes that have been developed at Yarra Yarra. In your favour are the best putting surfaces in Australia, a dense and compact mat of green and enviable trueness. Here a ball goes exactly where struck and we have cause to envy the members at Yarra Yarra who enjoy this as a matter of course.
