About the course
Friendly country parkland golf with abundant wildlife, an hour from Melbourne
Seymour Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 parkland course measuring around 6010 metres, located on the outskirts of Seymour on the Goulburn Valley Highway in Victoria, about an hour and fifteen minutes from Melbourne. It is a daily-fee course open to green-fee players seven days a week, with Bent grass greens and Santa Anna Couch fairways fully irrigated using recycled water. Facilities include a putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart hire and coaching. Notable holes include a steeply downhill par 3 whose small green sits well below the tee, and the course's longest hole, a par 5 of around 477 metres.
Run as a small, volunteer-supported country club, Seymour has a casual, welcoming feel that visitors regularly remark on, often singling out the friendliness of members and the care taken with the course. Players describe it as a genuinely challenging layout, with narrow fairways, small greens and contoured surrounds that reward accurate, thoughtful golf. Its parkland setting is a recurring highlight, with reviewers praising the natural surrounds and the wildlife encountered during a round. Despite being maintained by volunteers, the course is frequently noted as being in good condition for the price, though wetter weather can leave parts of the back nine soft. The overall impression is of an unpretentious, good-value country course that leaves many keen to return.
