Dorset Golf

Friendly municipal parkland 18 with well-kept fairways in Croydon

Dorset Golf is an 18-hole municipal parkland course in Croydon, Victoria, operated by Maroondah City Council, playing to a par of 69 over 4,953 metres. The layout features 17 mapped bunkers and a mix of holes suited to a range of abilities. On-site facilities include a driving range, pro shop, club hire and coaching, and the course is open seven days a week with bookings recommended. Membership options also provide access to the council's Ringwood Golf course.

Dorset Golf has built a reputation as an enjoyable and accessible public course, and players consistently praise the quality of its conditioning, often singling out the well-maintained and forgiving fairways. With relatively open holes alongside a few that bring some challenge, it tends to suit beginners and improvers as much as regulars looking for a relaxed round. Reviewers frequently note the friendly, helpful staff and good value for money, contributing to its popularity. That popularity means it can get busy, particularly on weekends, so booking ahead is a common recommendation, and pace of play is the most cited frustration. Overall the impression is of a welcoming, well-kept municipal layout that offers solid value with room to keep growing.
