Gently undulating sand belt course, well groomed, grass greens, couch fairways, 31 bunkers. Fully automatic watering system. Lake water storage and wetland attracts bird life. One of Melbourne's premier sand belt public courses. Par for the layout is 70. At 5646 metres from the championship tees for men, the course does not appear as long as many more recently constructed layouts, but in the case of Sandringham the more pleasant challenge lies in its variety of shot-making, bunkering, small greens and clever design.
