About the course
Parkland 9 amid century-old gums and roaming wildlife near Melbourne
Strathallan Golf Club is a private, 9-hole parkland course in Bundoora, Victoria, playing to a par of 34 over 2,426 metres. Established in 1957, it is set amongst natural bushland and features 18 different tees, with two teeing grounds per hole, and 15 mapped bunkers. The course is now run as a not-for-profit organisation by member volunteers. Facilities include a putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart and club hire, coaching, and parking.
Reviewers regularly describe Strathallan as a hidden gem that plays tougher than its modest yardage suggests, with tight tree-lined fairways and small greens that put a premium on accuracy and a sharp short game. Set within native bushland, the round is enriched by abundant wildlife — players mention encountering kangaroos, ducks and birdlife among the towering old trees, lending the course a peaceful, country feel. The 18 different tees give the layout real versatility, making it a popular spot to practise irons and drivers across nine holes. Conditioning is generally praised as well maintained, though wet weather can prompt cart restrictions and occasional course works. Overall the impression is of a friendly, welcoming, member-run club that punches above its weight.
