About the course
Tee off beneath the flight paths at Melbourne Airport's daily-fee parkland layout
Melbourne Airport Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 parkland course measuring 5,436 metres, located by Melbourne Airport in Victoria, Australia, around 25 minutes' drive from the CBD and adjacent to the airport's North/South runway. The course features 32 mapped bunkers, water features and elevated greens. Its signature hole is the par 17th, where the green sits less than 60 metres below the aircraft flight paths, including the daily A-380 flights. As a daily-fee club, it offers a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart and club hire, and parking.
Players consistently describe a relaxed, no-fuss round in a genuinely unusual setting, where watching planes land and take off overhead is part of the charm — never more so than at the 17th. Its out-of-the-way location means the course is rarely crowded, especially on weekdays, which many reviewers count as a real plus. The greens earn frequent praise for playing well and rewarding accurate approaches, though the small target size keeps you honest. Feedback on the fairways is more mixed, with several visitors noting dry conditions tied to limited irrigation. After the round, the clubroom and bar are popular for a meal and a drink, rounding out a friendly, easygoing experience close to the airport.
