The famed Royal Melbourne Golf Club East Course is as befitting of the reputation it holds. Previously ranked as Australia's first and sixth finest courses (the West and East respectively) and within the world's top 10, the club is steeped in history having first been established in 1891. The host of 16 Australian Opens, it was also hosted to the first President's Cup held outside the United States.
The Royal Melbourne Golf Club East Course club, with its classic clubhouse overlooking its bold design, is revered for its original West course. The East course was built in 1931 and is exceptional in its own right and designed by Alex Russell and Mick Morcom. Dramatic undulations roll through all 18 holes. Though smaller, they carry on the familiar slopes of their older predecessor, while the bunkering is perhaps less intense but with fantastic placement and difficulty. The course is a rush from its opening three holes - a short, long, and mid par 4 open proceedings.
A member's course, Royal Melbourne has reciprocity with several other clubs. Those from interstate or overseas can enquire about playing either course through the manager.
