Victoria Golf Club:
The Victoria Golf Club was founded in 1903 by Mr. Bill Meader and was initially located at Fishermans Bend in Port Melbourne. Mr. Meader was instrumental in the Club’s formation and his original chair is still displayed in the foyer as a testament to his contribution. The Club moved to its current location in 1927 and the new course was designed by Oscar Damman and Bill Meader with the assistance from the doyen of course architects, Dr. Alister Mackenzie.
Situated in the heart of Melbourne’s rolling Sandbelt country, in the beachside suburb of Cheltenham, it offers a golfing experience on par with the world’s best. The beautifully landscaped course measures 6,278 metres (6,905 yards) and is designed to challenge both the amateur and professional golfer. The course is one of the Sandbelt’s tougher courses, with lightning-fast greens and some of the best bunkering in Australia.
