About the course
A sandbelt classic in Cheltenham with lightning-fast greens
Victoria Golf Club is a private 18-hole sandbelt course in Cheltenham, Victoria, Australia, playing to a par of 71 over 5,962 metres. The layout features 115 mapped bunkers, with a notable run of par-three holes including the 4th, where bunkers guard both sides of the green. The strategic 1st rewards aggressive driving, the demanding 6th plays as a three-shot hole into a green that slopes sharply from back to front, and the long 9th puts a premium on distance off the tee. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, coaching and parking.
