About the course
Lush 18-hole layout through a Rowville estate, capped by an island-green 18th
Waterford Valley Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 course in Rowville, Victoria, Australia, measuring 6,355 metres. The layout features around 60 mapped bunkers and a driving range on site.
Players consistently describe Waterford Valley as a "hidden gem" of Melbourne's eastern suburbs, winding through an estate with plenty of trees yet a semi-open, lush feel. Reviewers regularly praise the conditioning, singling out carpet-like fairways, true greens and well-maintained but genuinely challenging bunkers. The variety draws particular comment, with long par 5s, risk-and-reward par 4s, multiple water hazards and a standout island-green finishing hole. The front nine earns a reputation for being more picturesque while the back nine is seen as rewarding for longer hitters. Many highlight friendly staff and strong value for money, while a common gripe is the limited practice facilities and the absence of drinking-water taps on the course.
