Yering Meadows Golf Club

Ross Watson-designed 27-hole parkland in the scenic Yarra Valley

Yering Meadows Golf Club is a public, 27-hole parkland course at Yering in Victoria's Yarra Valley, with a total par of 109 across 9,439 metres. Designed by Ross Watson and established in 1925, the layout is configured as an 18-hole par 72 plus a 9-hole par 36, with 107 mapped bunkers throughout. Notable holes include a short par-4 4th that is driveable from the forward tees, the 5th with its dipping fairway and water hazard, a lengthy par-4 6th featuring a central bunker and creek before a raised green, and the 130-metre par-3 22nd guarded by sand traps. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart hire and club hire.

Players consistently describe Yering Meadows as a welcoming, relaxed place to play, with friendly and helpful staff in the pro shop and around the clubhouse earning frequent praise. The course's setting in the rolling Yarra Valley landscape is a recurring highlight, with reviewers enjoying the scenic views and the kangaroos that share the grounds. Many comment on the excellent conditioning, singling out tightly cut, sloping greens and well-kept fairways, along with several engaging risk-and-reward holes and water hazards that add strategic interest. Visitors often rate it good value, particularly the twilight specials, though some note that pace of play can slow on busier days and that clubhouse hours may close earlier than expected in summer. Overall the reputation is of a friendly, well-presented parkland layout that rewards a return visit.
