I live in California, to play on an Australian Golf Course is always a treat. During a business trip in December with clients, I managed to spend an enjoyable afternoon at Yarra Bend. The course was a delight, nestled along the river and bushland it makes you feel you are miles away from the center of Melbourne, yet you are... More

It's about an hour from Frankston. But a lovely place on the Yarra River, with Grey-headed flying fox colony in the trees lining the river. More

No matter you standard of play, the golf course is both a good challenge, lovely walk, and great place to chat with friends as you meander through the inner suburbs More

I've played hundreds of rounds here and it never ceases to amaze me how well they keep it given the amount of traffic it gets. Built, partially, on the grounds of a former lunatic asylum, the course is about 5kms from the city centre in a fantastic green sward that is the pride and joy of inner Melbourne.Brilliant views of...

Should have the address changed on this TripAdvisor page - nowhere near Frankston at all! The course is actually in Fairfield. Played here a few times and really enjoyed it, I'm a high-handicapper but dropping rapidly and can still enjoy this course. A few blind tee-shots downhill make it interesting and the par 3 9th really tests your short irons.... More

The new course layout shows what happens when you put profit above morals. For generations the course remained unchanged with seamless transition from one hole to the next.

Great public golf course and even better now it has a driving range. Always amazes me how close you can play to the city, along the river, and around the bat colony. If your not in the best physical shape a electric cart may be handy, there are some long and steep holes to navigate through More
