This is one of those quintessential country-town golf clubs where the course is hacked out of the bush and the smell of lavender washes down over the hills and the native wildlife lounge around the greens and look at you quizzically for playing golf and not a real sport like cricket. It's rough, it's ready, it's beautiful, and it's way cheaper than those super expenno city courses. How cheap? Well, beers in the clubhouse will run you around the $4 mark. And the kangas! Stonkingly great and unusual. Take your camera. Maybe a saddle too, or some boxing gloves, depends how confident you are.

I loved the holes that had contraptions to bring your golf ball up to a higher level. And the final hole ball-return had me staring in awe like a little kid. I would love to go back to try the other course before our trip ends. Excellent fun and highly recommended. Staff were very nice to deal with.

We golfed the back nine and enjoyed our round of golf as the fairways are nicely sodded and picturesque and the greens were stellar, but no kangaroos. When we came into the clubhouse for our post-round beers, Glenn (the course manager) took us back out to the course and pointed out a herd of 'roos. The man went above and beyond and made our day. Go golf this fun legit 18 hole golf course and say hi to one of the nicest Aussies and that is saying something.

I came here once with my family, and really enjoyed it. I don't pretend to be a golf expert, but I thought the course was quite good, and easy enough to walk around. There is also BBQ areas, a kiosk, and plenty of seating so you can really make a family day of it. It does tend to get pretty busy on the weekends, especially over the summer months.

Has two 18 hole courses - East and West spread over four sections of land. For tournaments only one main section is used - making up the Composite Course. The West Course is definitely superior, has most of the holes of the composite layout and the front nine of the West has a stretch of five or six holes that are world class. Noted for its large bunkers and fast greens it is a masterwork of noted course design legend Dr Alistair McKenzie. Interstate or overseas players may be able to get a round with a letter of introduction from their club - sent well ahead of time. The course is well-treed but maintains something of a links feel as it is built on ancient sand-dunes that are now well inland. I was a caddy at Royal Melbourne for four years but actually rate Kingston Heath and Barnbougle Dunes as better course designs overall (and The Dunes at Rye remains my favourite all time course).

Access to cafes, small visitor center with a viewing deck, and toilets. The walk up to the Summit is meant to be 50 minutes return. Check out various rock formations on the way up such as the saddle and tom's signature (around 20 rock formations with descriptive signs in total). You can either take the ramp up or the stairs and take a different or the same method down. The stairs only go up part of the way. There is a sign that says that it is a 'Grade 3' walk, but it is quite easy. Watch out for slippery rocks and definitely not a good idea to climb up to the summit on a rainy day. The summit view provides you a view of the Melbourne CBD - nicer on a non-windy and non-cloudy day. Once you're back down, you can drive further and check out the Memorial Cross and Cairns or check out more of the Macedon Ranges. The Macedon area is known for its music festival and abundance of picnic areas.
