Waterford Valley Golf in Knoxfield is a modern, par 72 championship golf course that has been designed with flexibility in mind. Being only 30-minutes from the Melbourne CBD, the venue provides an efficient, enjoyable environment that has been built with corporate golf in mind, as well as friends, play for social golfers. 

The layout at Waterford Valley, which was designed by Phil Ryan, provides a wide range of golfing challenges as it can be set up to play from 5,600 metres to 6,545 metres, depending on who is playing and the direction of the prevailing winds. There are four varying degrees of difficulty and the bailout options are designed to provide the not-too-proud golfer an easy way home.  

The undulating fairways of Santa Ana Couch provide wide landing zones for bold play off the tee. However, in doing so players need to negotiate 63 huge and strategically placed bunkers along with 11 lakes and wetlands. The Bent G2 greens at Waterford Valley are bigger than most traditional golf course greens and they provide the golfer with an opportunity to get home in regulation, however long well thought out putts are often required. 

Waterford Valley Golf is a first-class golf course with first-class facilities and the venue has a large Pro shop as well as long and short game practice areas for golfers. The comfortable clubhouse lounge has bar and dining services, a business center, and function spaces, whilst the outdoor area has great views over the 18th island green and the Dandenong Ranges.
