Kingston Heath Golf Club Review
Course review · Melbourne Sandbelt · 2 rounds played

9.3/ 10
The short version
On a flat rectangle of sand near a suburban road, Kingston Heath built the best par 3 set and the most interesting short par 4s I know.
How it played
The 15th is the greatest short par 3 anywhere and the 3rd is a drivable hole where laying up is genuinely smarter. Greens were quick and every one of them wants a specific approach angle.
How it looks
Immaculate sandbelt bunkering, tight kikuyu-free turf and a routing that never repeats itself.
What won me over
- the 15th alone justifies the round
- short holes that demand thought, not power
- conditioning rivals Royal Melbourne
Good to know before you buy
- the site is flat and plain-looking
- private access is restrictive
My verdict
9.3/10. Pure strategic golf on a flat site.
