Neil wants to celebrate the anniversary of our countries birth by playing golf. Let me know if you are intested in joining us. We don’t have a tee time as yet, Yarrabend only take bookings one week in advance, but we are hoping to get out as early as possible. For those of you who aren’t sure, Australia day is on Friday the 26th of January.

Cheers

Melton starts you off with an intimidating first tee. Right beside the clubhouse & the road close by on the left. You need you game face on here from the outset. The good news is that the hole itself, aside from the distraction, is an easy par 4.

Melton Valley is a very nice course with some challenging holes, the fairways are in great condition & the greens can be quite tricky if you land your ball in the wrong spot. The first green is a good example of this, sloping toward the right hand side.

The back 9 begins in much the same fashion as the front, but this time you have the carpark close by on the right & the clubhouse at your back. The 11th hole is probably the pick of the bunch. A 468 metre par 5 with a dogleg right. The are trees on the left & water on the right. It is a tough tight fairway but if you get your tee shot right you have acrack at the green, get your tee shot wrong & you could be in for a long hole.

The are a couple of great par 3 here at Melton. The 9th has you playing over lake & the 12th also has water in play on the right handside of the green.

We enjoyed our round out at Melton Valley & I’m sure we will be back in the near future.
