Heritage Golf & Country Club (Henley course)

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 2007

Heritage Golf & Country Club (Henley course): Two contrasting championship golf courses (St John and Henley) await at Heritage G&CC, located alongside the Yarra Valley hotel. With its 36-holes of championship golf, the Heritage offers an excellent Melbourne Stay&Play venue, with both courses not usually accessible on an outside visitor, daily play basis.

Laid out in a wonderfully natural and predominantly wetland environment, the newer Henley course is overlooked by scenic hills that are covered in a mix of swaying grasses, trees and Yarra Valley vineyards. Tony Cashmore's challenging and relatively open layout, incorporates good-width, gently undulating fairways that glide past more water hazards than you can shake a stick at. A veritable feast of rustic-styled, rough-edged bunkering is also present.

Although flatter, the front-nine has a few nicely elevated tees and also one or two blind drives to make. Just as you think the course will retain its wetland character right to the end, the par-5 13th leads you away from the water and into a picturesque valley, where kangaroos laze on the grassy hillsides.

The par-4 14th presents another surprising change of scene as you head uphill to the highest part of the course, from where the views are fabulous. After negotiating a tee-to-green carry over water at the 15th, you tumble back downhill again at the long par-4 16th.

Stay&Play at Heritage G&CC: luxury onsite accommodation (Yarra Valley Lodge) available, see Where2Stay section below.
