Kingston Heath Golf Club is located on the famous sand belt of golf outside Melbourne which is home to several great golf courses including Royal Melbourne and The Victoria Golf Club. This was my first time visiting Australia and I was looking forward to experiencing the golf.
Hole 1
The first hole is a straight forward par 4 measuring 392 meters from the regular tees. I hit driver over the right hand bunker. Made par after missing the GIR.
HOLE 2
The second hole we played as the alternate hole that was created by architect Michael Clayton. I made a nice birdie.
HOLE 3
HOLE 4
Kingston Heath golf club hole 4 is a par 4. A short hole, but by no means easy. The course is playing fast and you really need to hit the fairways to give yourself good chances on the approach shots. Greens are true and fast.

HOLE 7
BACK NINE ON KINGSTON HEATH
HOLE 10
The 10th is a great par 3 and testament to short holes that can still be challenging. I didn’t play it well and made bogey after visiting the sand.
HOLE 11
HOLE 15
Easy to see why this par 3 hole has become famous for being really challenging.
HOLE 17
Easy to see why this par 3 hole has become famous for being really challenging.
HOLE 18
The finishing hole is a par 4. The green has several leves which makes it challenging. Great to walk up the hole with the grandstands.
MY EXPERIENCE
Kingston Heath Golf Club is a real challenge and great golf course. The course condition was superb and the greens were really nice with great speed. The course is not that long but the tee shot is so important if you want to get around in a decent score.
There are not many holes where you can afford a missed shot and there are many bunkers in play when reaching the green area. I really good challenge and should be on your bucket list. I shot 81 and will come back to try and beat that score.
