About the course
Friendly parkland course near Pakenham with couch fairways and six par-3s
Garfield Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-69 parkland course located in Victoria, Australia, on the outskirts of Melbourne about 10 minutes from Pakenham. The layout offers a mix of par 3, 4 and 5 holes, including six par-three holes, with couch fairways and a water hazard in play. As a daily-fee course, it provides a pro shop, restaurant/dining, and both cart and club hire. Tee times are available most days, with bookings essential.
Garfield earns a strong reputation for its welcoming, friendly staff and greenkeepers, a point visitors raise time and again. Players describe a course that suits a wide range of golfers, with a good balance of holes that are challenging without being intimidating for the average player, plus a pond or two ready to swallow a stray ball. Quieter, cooler days tend to deliver the most relaxed rounds, while busier periods can see pace of play slow, which some reviewers found frustrating. Conditioning generally draws praise, though impressions can dip in the depths of winter. Easy to reach yet set among pleasant surrounds, it comes across as an enjoyable spot well worth a visit if you're in the area.
