About the course
Tree-lined oasis just 16km from Melbourne's CBD
Box Hill Golf Club is a private 18-hole golf course in Box Hill South, Victoria, Australia, located roughly 16 kilometres from Melbourne's CBD. Set within a tree-lined green setting, it is one of Melbourne's older golf clubs. Facilities include a restaurant/bistro and coaching, with golf lessons and equipment fitting available from the club's golf staff.
Players consistently describe Box Hill as a well-conditioned, attractively landscaped course whose compact, tree-lined fairways and unusual routing make for a varied and characterful round close to the city. The clubhouse, set above the course, draws frequent praise, with many visitors highlighting the bistro and dining as a standout — you don't need to be a member to eat in, though booking ahead is recommended on weekends. Reviewers note recent course upgrades, good bunkering and quick greens, balanced by a reputation for getting wet during winter. The overall impression is of a friendly, community-minded club with strong hospitality and event spaces alongside the golf. Service tends to earn warm feedback, reinforcing its reputation as an accessible and welcoming setting just minutes from Melbourne's CBD.
