Metropolitan Golf Club

The Metropolitan Golf Club, one of Melbourne's renowned 'sandbelt' courses and widely regarded as one of the finest championship courses in Australia, is a private members Club located approximately 20 minutes from the city centre. Limited playing times are available to interstate and overseas visitors, generally on Monday mornings, Thursday mornings or Fridays. 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 96 bunkers and almost every hole is flanked by huge stands of Australian native trees which provide sanctuary to many species of native birds.
