What Is Victoria Golf Club?

Victoria Golf Club sits in Cheltenham, Melbourne, in the heart of the famous Sandbelt region. The club was founded in 1903, and the current course opened in 1927 with a design by Oscar Damman and Bill Meader, with Alister MacKenzie personally advising on the bunkering. MacKenzie told the club that “little more is required to make this a magnificent golf course.”

The course plays to a par of 72 over 6,905 yards from the back tees. It is known for its lightning-fast greens, extensive bunkering, and the classic Sandbelt characteristics that make it one of the toughest tests in Australia. Peter Thomson, five-time Open Champion, and Geoff Ogilvy, US Open Champion, both learned the game here.

Golf Digest Australia ranks Victoria number 11 in the country. It has hosted multiple Australian Opens and Australian Masters, with winners including Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.
