THE VICTORIA GOLF CLUB -- MELBOURNE -- VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA
6278m -- Par 72, ACR 73
Designers: O. Damman, W. Meader and Dr. A MacKenzie (bunkering and design plan recommendations)

An amazing history that dates back to 1903 and a club with a tradition of producing champions in Australian and world golf. In 1954 two of the worlds most prized trophies sat side-by-side on the club's mantelpiece....Peter Thomson -- British Open Champion (one of five wins) and Doug Bachli -- British Amateur Champion.
Alister MacKenzie, the famed English golf course architect (and designer of Royal Melbourne), although requested to cast his eye over the course during it's construction from 1926 -- 1930, ultimately played an influential role and his artful hand can be seen in evidence at Victoria Golf Club.
A wonderful example of sandbelt golf, combines an interesting layout over varied terrain, where natural sandy roughs and a magnificent bunker plan reach into the fairways in an overall masterplan of purposeful design. This is a course that the golfer literally needs to "pick" his way around with careful club selection and an overall strategy of positioning in order to approach the heavily fortified greens.
Commitment to the maintenance and preservation of this "classic" sand belt course is in evidence at every turn and the club's indigenous revegetation policy a benchmark for such projects in the golfing community . A wonderful golf course with roots deeply embedded in the "real" traditions of the game. An icon of Australian golf.....acclaimed worldwide!
