ABOUT METROPOLITAN... The Metropolitan Golf Club, one of Melbourne's renowned 'sandbelt' courses and widely regarded as one of the finest championship courses in Australia, is a private members Club located approximately 20 minutes from the city centre. Limited playing times are available to interstate and overseas visitors, generally on Monday mornings, Thursday mornings or Fridays. Metropolitan enjoys a reputation as one of the best-conditioned and most beautiful courses in the country.  Pure couch grass fairways with large, fast bent-grass greens that are hand-mown to the edges of the greenside bunkers add greatly to the challenge of the course.  In total there are 96 bunkers and almost every hole is flanked by huge stands of Australian native trees which provide sanctuary to many species of native birds.

WATER USE AT METROPOLITAN Metropolitan's magnificent fairways are maintained throughout the year via minimal use of a combination of bore water and any run-off captured from storm water.  The pure bentgrass greens are hand-watered using bore water treated via our on-site reverse osmosis plant.  Virtually no town water is used for watering turf or plantations at Metropolitan, and any used is within the current State Government water restrictions.
