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

 “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.
