About Kingston Heath Golf Club Golf Course

Kingston Heath Golf Club is widely regarded as the finest of all the Melbourne sandbelt courses and is frequently ranked in Australia's top three alongside Royal Melbourne and The National. Originally designed by Dan Soutar and opened in 1925, the course's extraordinary bunkering was subsequently designed by Alister MacKenzie — who considered his work at Kingston Heath to be his finest bunker design anywhere in the world, including Augusta and Royal Melbourne. The bunkering is the defining visual and strategic element: deep-faced, perfectly contoured sand hazards that frame fairways and greens in compositions of extraordinary beauty and strategic precision. The heathland vegetation — low scrub, native grasses, and banksia — creates a distinctly Australian atmosphere quite unlike any European heathland course. Kingston Heath has hosted the Australian Open multiple times and is the only Australian course outside of Royal Melbourne to have achieved consistent top-20 worldwide rankings from multiple major course-ranking panels. Private and exclusive, access requires a member introduction.
