Burnley Golf Course

Melbourne's inner-city 9-hole parkland oasis, 5km from the CBD

Burnley Golf Course is a 9-hole, par-33 municipal parkland course measuring 1,912 metres in Burnley, Victoria, tucked between the city and the Yarra River about 5km east of Melbourne's CBD. The layout features 17 bunkers and is open to casual visitors seven days a week. On-site facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart and club hire, and coaching.

Reviewers regularly describe Burnley as a handy inner-city gem that is easy to reach and ideal for a quick round. Its relatively flat, not-too-long layout—with a few drivable par 4s—makes it popular with beginners and improvers, while the quick, championship-style greens still offer a test for more experienced players. Players frequently praise the well-maintained fairways and good-sized greens, along with practice areas for warming up putting and chipping. The compact clubhouse and licensed kiosk earn mentions for food, drinks and snacks, and the overall reputation is of friendly value-for-money golf, though a few visitors note paid parking and the occasional inconsistent service experience.
