About the course
Friendly municipal par 72 parkland along Merri Creek in Brunswick East
Northcote Public Golf Course is a par 72 municipal parkland course in Brunswick East, Victoria, measuring 2,282 metres and laid out on crown land along Merri Creek. It was designed by Sam Berriman and established in 1962. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart and club hire, and parking.
Affectionately nicknamed "Royal Northcote" by regulars, this compact public course enjoys a reputation as a welcoming, relaxed spot ideal for casual golfers and locals alike. Visitors consistently praise the friendly pro shop staff and the easygoing atmosphere, with many noting the convenient closeness to the city and good value. Despite its municipal, no-frills nature, players frequently remark that the grounds are impeccably maintained, with greens described as tight and fast. The riverside parkland setting along Merri Creek and a few genuinely demanding holes add character to a round that reviewers tend to find both enjoyable and good-paced.
