About the course
Undulating parkland golf in the Humevale Valley, kangaroos, native bush and forever views
Whittlesea Golf Club is a public, 18-hole parkland course in Humevale, Victoria, established in 1937 and set in the Humevale Valley about 45 minutes from Melbourne's CBD. The undulating bushland layout is surrounded by Australian native flora and fauna and dotted with small lakes and ponds, and caters to golfers of all skill levels. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart hire, club hire and parking.
Players consistently describe Whittlesea as a beautiful, scenic course, praising the rolling bushland setting, native birdlife and the chance to share the fairways with kangaroos. The layout is regarded as challenging but fun, with one notably long double par 5 drawing particular attention, and many feel it shines most in spring and autumn. Reviewers frequently single out the friendly, accommodating staff and good value, with the clubhouse views earning high marks for functions and post-round relaxing. Feedback on conditioning is more mixed: while many find the course well maintained, some have noted greens that can run rough or untrue, especially after coring. Overall the impression is of a welcoming, good-value parkland club with a strong sense of place and reliably warm service.
