The Victoria Golf Club is acclaimed by golfers all over the world for its fine hospitality and superb world championship course. Situated in the heart of Melbourne's rolling sand belt country, in the beachside suburb of Cheltenham, it offers a sporting experience on par with the world's best. The beautifully landscaped par 72 course is designed to challenge both the amateur and professional golfer and was the host club for the 2002 Australian Open Championship. The Clubhouse has 15 spacious and comfortably appointed rooms, each with full ensuite facilities, for residential accommodation. Each room also offers views of the grounds and the course. With hospitality equal to the course, Victoria's stately, three storey, fully air conditioned clubhouse exudes comfort and a welcoming, congenial atmosphere.

Kingston Heath is one of the Golf Clubs of the world famous Melbourne Sandbelt and has hosted numerous national championships including eight Australian Opens, two Australian Masters and eight International Final Qualifying events for The Open Championship.

The course is currently ranked *20 in the world and is regarded by many, including some of the world's best golfers, as one of Australia's finest golf courses.

"We play a lot of unbelievable courses on the PGA Tour, but Kingston Heath would be far and away the best of the regular tournament courses - that's not including the Majors. The US Open has stunning courses, but overall, most of the American courses are nowhere near as good as Kingston Heath". Geoff Ogilvy

'Kingston Heath is the pick of the Melbourne Sandbelt courses and I haven't seen anything better around the world". Peter Senior

"I've always loved coming down here and playing these golf courses… it' a treat.

"You don't need a golf course to be 7,700 yards for it to be hard. You can build it just like this. Have it nice and tricky and it's just a treat to play." Tiger Woods

 “Kingston Heath is totally awesome. Someone please tell modern day architects we don't need 8000 yard tracks they're not enjoyable. Best yet “  Ian Poulter

The course is renowned for its natural charm and strategies created by its superbly crafted greens and bunkers.

Designed by Dan Soutar and built by Mick Morcom, considered by Mackenzie the best green keeper he had come across, the course was opened in 1925. At 6812 yards and par 82 made it one of the longest and hardest courses in Australia.
