45 km SE of Melbourne CBD.
From the centre of Melbourne travel south-east on the M1 (Monash Freeway). After approx 32 km turn onto the M420 (South Gippsland Freeway). After 5.5 km turn off the Freeway and take the Dandenong-Hastings Road (780), heading south. After 7.6 km turn left into Hall Road. After 1.6 km turn right onto the Cranbourne-Frankston Road. Ranfurlie entrance is 1 km on your right (not to be confused with the Amstel GC entrance, which you reach by turning left out of Hall Road).
Ranfurlie
Ranfurlie Golf Club (formerly the Ranfurlie course of Amstel GC): Ranfurlie is very different from the classic parkland layouts of Melbourne's sandbelt. Here you can experience an inland links style course, with very few trees, but plenty of deep grassy rough and excellent shaggy-topped bunkers defining the good-width fairways.
The layout's elevation changes ensure each hole has its own character, and from the highest part of the course, near the clubhouse, there are terrific views all the way through to distant Melbourne city centre.
The course fits well into its surrounding rural environment, and has become a popular and established golfing alternative from the usual tree-lined, parkland courses hereabouts.
Visitors welcome on Mon, Tues, Weds (pm), Fri and Sun.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available for hire.
Good
Ranfurlie Golf Club started out in 2002 as the second and newer course of the Amstel Golf Club, which was home to the older Park course. Amstel's tree-lined Park course opened for member-only play in 1965, later becoming a public-access facility in 2002. It closed for play in 2016 and was developed for housing. The newer Ranfurlie course opened in 2002.
Having already hosted a number of significant events including the Australian PGA Tour Qualifying School in 2002 and 2003, and the Victoria Golf Association Division 1 Pennant Final in 2003, Ranfurlie has already forged a strong reputation as a challenging championship course.
