Werribee Park

The course at Werribee Park Golf Club is a mid-1970s design from Kevin Hartley who said: “while various hole arrangements were considered, the best in my view was the one that exists today. The only arguable shortcoming is that hole 18 is short.”

Occupying a property that extends to around 135 acres, the course measures just under 6,300 metres from the back tees, playing to a par of 72 (36 out then 36 back). The Werribee River meanders around the east and south perimeter, but it never actually comes into play at holes #7, #11 and #14 which are routed alongside this water course.

Highlight holes include the first of the par threes at the 163-metre 3rd (with out of bounds to the right); the uphill, right doglegging 395-metre 5th (rated stroke index 1 on the card); the 493-metre 11th (played into the southwest corner of the course); and the 310-metre 18th which bends slightly right to a well-bunkered home green.
