Waverley Churchill Golf Course

Public parkland golf over rolling Rowville hills, with bowls green alongside

Waverley Churchill Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-73 parkland layout in Rowville, Victoria, measuring 5,753 metres with 51 mapped bunkers. Established in 1926, it operates as the Rowville (Waverley) site of a semi-private, two-course club that also includes the Churchill Park course at Endeavour Hills. The Rowville site includes a lawn bowls green, while facilities span a driving range, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart and club hire, coaching and parking. The club offers 7-day member and public access across both sites.

Players describe a rolling, undulating parkland with some genuinely memorable holes and a few steep climbs to elevated greens. The layout earns praise for its variety, mixing narrow and wider fairways and bunkers positioned to guard the greens, which keeps the round interesting and reasonably challenging. Reviews are mixed on conditioning: visitors in good seasons report fairways and greens in pleasant shape, while others have found maintenance and the bunkers a sore point. Many regard it as solid value for the cost of a round, and the club's noted bunker improvement program suggests ongoing efforts to address that feedback. Overall the reputation is of an affordable, characterful course with appealing terrain and room to keep raising its presentation.
