It was a great thrill to host golfing superstar @rorymcilroy at @metropolitangolfclub yesterday.
Rory played Metro’s par 3 Second Hole as part of an @ausopengolf initiative, where he visited @melbournesandbelt clubs who have enjoyed the privilege of hosting past Opens.
Metropolitan has hosted seven Men’s Australian Opens and a Women’s Australian Open. Our 1930 hosting saw the inaugural Stonehaven Cup presented, while our 1993 hosting saw Rory’s putting coach @bfaxon crowned as the Champion. And who could forget the 1997 hosting where @westwood_lee took down the might of Greg Norman on the fourth sudden-death playoff hole.
On behalf of all at Metropolitan, we extend our sincere best wishes to Rory for a highly successful week ahead.

Soft afternoon sun paints Metropolitan`s par 5, 8th hole in pure magic.
Metropolitan is renowned across the world for its magnificent, exquisitely manicured fairways and championship greens with razor-edged bunkering.

The Melbourne Sandbelt is an iconic region for international golfers 🏌♂️
When @ianbakerfinch was at Metropolitan with @mike_clayton_golf for our Book Group member dinner, IBF explained why international players are so keen to play here.

If you ever have the privilege of meeting Ian Baker-Finch or listening to him talk, you should take it!
Metropolitan members were fortunate to have the 🇬🇧 Open winner at the club on Wednesday night for our Book Group dinner, where Ian, in conversation with @mike_clayton_golf, captivated the room with stories from his professional career, including his memorable Open victory, his close connection with Peter Thomson AO CBE, insights into the next generation of players, and reflections on his commentary career.
He also spoke warmly of Metropolitan, describing it as one of Australia’s finest golf courses and noting how fortunate we are to be part of the Melbourne Sandbelt.
Thank you @ianbakerfinch!
