The Royal Melbourne Golf Clubwww.royalmelbourne.com.au "It burns me up with the billions of dollars spent on course construction in the past 50 years, all the architects together haven't been able to build another Royal Melbourne"

Year founded: 1891 Courses: West (6067 meters), East (6007 meters) Architect: West: Alister MacKenzie (1926) & Est: Alex Russelll (1932) Signature HolesHole #5 - 161 meters par 3 Accuracy and the right choice of club makes this a superb par three hole. A middle iron is needed to cross a valley to the green, heavily fortified with bunkers. The fast green has a steep slope from front to back and is a tricky test. Hole #6 - 391 meters par 4 Rated as the most difficult green on the course, the early shots are crucial. A sharp dog leg makes it vital that the tee shot carries a minimum of 200-metres across dense rough and fairway traps, in order to leave the ball in the right position. The elevated green slopes towards the front and produces many three putts. ScorecardCourse played: West course
