Golf in Melbourne is fantastic. The Pick of the courses are Royal Melbourne, Victoria, Kingston Heath, Metropolitan, Penninsula, The National, Yarra Yarra, Barwon Heads, and St Andrews Beach. There are many other fantastic courses also -the staff and members at Commonwealth Golf club are delightful.
Cypress Point = golf heaven. Royal Melbourne’s composite course (12 holes on the West Course & 6 holes on the East Course) is not far behind it though!
Great job, Under the Card team. Absolutely stunning. I need some advice; what's the play on 10? I've only every walked the course before but will play it eventually. Do players realistically try and take it over that bunker to the green off the tee? It looks problematic if you are either short or long and you go for it! I reckon it's 3-wood to the corner. What a golf hole! Risk/reward at its finest.
Thanks Graeme. In calm conditions, most tour pros can reach the green with 3-wood. As a scratch golfer, I normally try to hit either a driver or 3-wood at the gully short of the green, and if I pull it slightly, sometimes it goes on the green. If you’re laying up, the target is wider up on the higher flat section of fairway and the approach is easier. If you lay back in the lower part of the fairway, you have to play a blind approach across the corner bunker and the angle isn’t good because there’s a knob on the front left of the green which bounces balls to the right. Not sure if the video does the corner fairway bunker justice but it is to be avoided at all costs! Also, beyond the green is to be avoided at all costs!
Amazing. Beautifully done Henry !
In the 125+ year history this is the best overview of the West I’ve seen
🙏🏼
Beautiful. I’m booked to play it next April.
April is a great time of year to play in Melbourne - less windy than other months and still reasonably warm. Enjoy!

Awesome! Visiting Australia in November, would be a dream to play here.

Thank you sir. So well done. I need to visit Oz. Already I have this course challenging Cypress at #1 in my rankings!

@@underthecard I believe it's hard for visitors to play the composite. Regardless I will research the opportunities.
@@chippycut1406 Yes, that’s right. Members only get the chance to play the Composite Course in competitions a handful of times each year.
@@chippycut1406you can’t play the composite. East or West. The East has 6 composite holes ( East holes 1,2,3,,16,17,18) The West has the other 12.
