About the course
Riverside parkland challenge minutes from Melbourne's CBD
Latrobe Golf Club is a private parkland course in Alphington, Victoria, established in 1948 and located close to Melbourne's CBD. The 18-hole championship layout is built on river flats with subtle undulations, bordered on two sides by the Yarra River, lined by majestic Red River Gums, and features five billabongs. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant and dining, club hire, and coaching.
Players consistently describe Latrobe as a challenging but rewarding test where accuracy matters more than raw distance, with relatively narrow, tree-lined fairways and large greens that many find tricky to read. The riverside parkland setting and mature Red River Gums earn frequent praise, and the 9th and 10th are often singled out as standout holes. Reviewers also appreciate the welcoming clubhouse, dining room overlooking the course, and solid practice facilities, with several noting good value on membership. Conditioning generally draws positive comments, though a minority of visitors have reported the course can be off its best at times. Overall the club enjoys a reputation as a convenient inner-city retreat that suits everyone from beginners to seasoned golfers.
