Golfing in Whitehorse City Council
Melbourne's eastern suburbs, from Box Hill out to Vermont South, hold three courses in Whitehorse, and each suits a different golfer. Box Hill Golf Club is the members' option, a private club whose first AGM was held in April 1913, playing a compact, tree-lined parkland 18 that feels like a green oasis 16 kilometres from the CBD, its routing shaped by a tight property. Morack Public Golf in Vermont South is the all-rounder: a par-70 public parkland 18 with choose-your-own-challenge tees, a modern driving range and mini golf, and a Seniors group that has played Wednesday-morning competitions there since 1978. Wattle Park in Burwood is a public par-34 nine of under 1,900 metres, with hilly stretches and creek crossings, where a round is expected to take two hours or less.
