Ranked #1 in the country and as high as #5 in the world, Royal Melbourne’s West Course has firmly solidified itself as the most prestigious private golf club in Australia. This Alister MacKenzie masterpiece is the crown jewel of the world famous golf region known as the ‘Melbourne Sandbelt’. Boasting 36 holes comprised of the ‘West’ and ‘East’ courses, be one of the few to grace this magnificent, bucket-list course with LuxGolf.

Boasting 36 holes comprised of the ‘West’ and ‘East’ courses, Royal Melbourne is the undisputed example of the finest private golf club in Australia; just as famed course architect, Dr. Alister MacKenzie, intended.

Royal Melbourne’s impeccably manicured condition presents expansive and gently rolling landing areas from it’s tee boxes but that’s where it’s ease ends. What awaits are Tea tree scrub-lined fairways ending in lightning fast greens which are protected by cavernous green-side bunkers. Royal Melbourne will keep you both awe-inspired and humbled.

It seems a great shame that Dr. MacKenzie never saw his finished product at Royal Melbourne because, despite leaving Australia’s shores to create countless classics across the globe, there is little doubt the West Course retains the truest interpretation of his design philosophies. Indeed it is certainly hard to imagine that the game of golf gets any better than Royal Melbourne. From purist to social player to professional, it remains the absolute embodiment of golfing perfection, if indeed such a thing exists.

‘It burns me up that with the billions of dollars spent on course construction in the past fifty years, all the architects together haven’t been able to build another Royal Melbourne.’

– Gene Sarazen, Legendary PGA Hall of Famer
