The Metropolitan Golf Club

Overview

The Metropolitan Golf Club is one of the renowned sandbelt courses of Melbourne and is widely recognised as one of the finest championship courses in Australia. It is located in Oakleigh South, in the city's south-eastern suburbs, approximately twenty minutes' drive from the CBD. Metropolitan enjoys a reputation as one of the best conditioned year-round courses in Australia. Prior to the 1997 Australian Open, Greg Norman described Metropolitan's pure couch grass fairways as the best he had played on anywhere in the world. During the 2001 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, a number of the world's top-ranked players compared the condition of the course to Augusta National. The bentgrass greens are large, firm and fast and are hand-mown right to the edge of the greenside bunkers. In 2018, the course took centre stage as it hosted the World Cup of Golf - won by a Belgian team consisting of Thomas Pieters and Thomas Detry. Connoisseur Golf are proud to have a long term relationship with The Metropolitan Golf Club as we hosted their club membership tour to St Andrews in 2013.
