The West Course is considered the masterpiece of legendary architect Alister MacKenzie and is frequently ranked as the best golf course in Australia. Opened in 1931, the course is celebrated for its strategic bunkering, fast-running fairways, firm greens, and natural routing through the sandy heathland terrain of Melbourne’s Sandbelt.
Unlike many modern championship courses, the West Course relies on strategy, creativity, and precision rather than sheer length. Every hole presents multiple options from the tee and into the greens, rewarding thoughtful shot-making and intelligent course management.
The course’s distinctive bunkers, dramatic green complexes, and outstanding conditioning have made it a favourite among professional golfers, architects, and golf enthusiasts worldwide. It remains one of the purest examples of strategic golf design ever created.
