About the course
Parkland golf beside the Yarra, minutes from Melbourne's CBD
Kew Golf Club is a private 18-hole course in Kew East, Victoria, Australia, established in 1894. It plays to a par of 70 over 5,908 metres, with 43 mapped bunkers. The course sits near the Yarra River and includes practice greens, hitting cages, a pro shop and a clubhouse with dining facilities.
Set close to the Yarra River, Kew is widely regarded as a playful yet rewarding parkland layout where finding the fairway is rarely the hard part — the challenge lies in the approach to its undulating, well-protected greens. Players consistently praise the well-placed bunkers, soft sand and the scattering of small lakes (billabongs) that bring both beauty and strategy into play. Reviewers frequently highlight the manicured fairways and strong overall conditioning, noting ongoing course improvements such as drainage works. The club is also known for its warm, professional welcome, from a friendly pro shop to attentive clubhouse staff and well-regarded dining and event facilities. The general impression is of an organised, well-run club with a friendly membership and an enjoyable, scenic round.
