Cranbourne Golf Club

The Absolute best place. Thank you Marnie, Hayley, Jude and the team, what an absolute pleasure dealing with you just spectacular. This venue is just one of the best places we have had the honour of hosting our dads 70th. From the food to the service was just east brilliant right from the start. Thank you so very much for the most amazing night, we will be back in the future to host something again at you’re serene venue.

Another one of those Melbourne courses I'd barely heard of, never played and walked away from thinking "this place is pretty awesome". The fact they are staging Australia Amateurs championship there should have given me higher expectations! Great facilities, service in proshop was excellent, everyone super friendly, invited to join daily comp at no extra charge and got us off the first earlier than expected which was great due to impending rain. Course was great overall. Fairways pretty much immaculate, firmish and had drained incredibly well given the ridiculous amount of rain the previous day. Rain also meant bunkers were a bit inconsistent with some looking more like swimming pools and with varying amounts of sand but these things just can't be help sometimes and no fault of the club. The bunkering is tough (Deep and lots of them) Couple of the par 3s had no discernable bail out areas as did a couple of the par 4s. Fairway bunkering always seems to sit in your field of vision but no real issues carrying most of them. Quite a bit of water but didn't seem to come in to play that much. Greens are heading towards the fast end of the spectrum and had some very subtle breaks around the pin positions. Not the truest on the day we played as they had recently been vericut/scarified. The 200+ meter uphill par 3 is a little wierd (was also playing into the wind) only because it didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the course flow/distances. . No shame to play it as a par 4 if that distance is an issue for you otherwise could easily walk of with a 7 or 8. Overall this is a pretty forgiving on the fairways and then tough coming into the greens. Will definately punish bad shots and bad shot selection. Very much looking forward to playing again so went home and booked another round immediately.
