Travel story
The Sandbelt: Bunkering as an Art Form
Why Melbourne's sand is golf's best-kept secret
Words by Marcus Santana
Melbourne Sandbelt, AustraliaA cluster of MacKenzie-influenced courses within half an hour of the city. Firm, fast and endlessly strategic.
What we loved
- World-class bunkering
- Short drives between courses
- Melbourne itself is a great base
Know before you go
- Access to private clubs needs planning
- Long flight for most travellers
The verdict
If you like architecture, the Sandbelt is the trip.
