Golf & Clubhouse Amenities

The Course

The Eastern Golf Club has taken the traditional ‘golf club’ environment to new heights, creating a destination experience appealing to golfers and non-golfers in the heart of Melbourne’s food and wine playground – the Yarra Valley.

In selecting the stunning setting of Yering Gorge, where bushland intersects with the Yarra River against the backdrop of the Christmas Hills and Dividing Ranges, Eastern Golf Club’s vision was to establish a beautiful country estate within the peaceful environment of the Yarra Valley, whilst respecting the informal character and rich traditions of the Club that date back to 1896.

With a philosophy to create an environment that would be in harmony with the broader landscape, The Eastern Golf Club commissioned Greg Norman Golf Course Design (GNGCD) to design the 27 hole championship standard course plus Shark Waters – its 9 hole, par 3, course that is scheduled to open late 2017. Recognised as an industry leader in promoting the compatibility of golf courses with the environment, Norman has created a course that is complementary to the existing topography whilst ensuring the spectacular natural features and dramatic views are maximised to enrich the playing experience.
