The Melbourne Sandbelt is a dream destination for golf purists — home to some of the most iconic and architecturally significant courses in the world. Many were shaped by the legendary Dr. Alister MacKenzie, including Royal Melbourne, which has hosted the Presidents Cup three times, and Kingston Heath, the upcoming 2028 host. Victoria Golf Club adds to the prestige with a history of hosting both men’s and women’s Australian Opens.
What makes this Garmany Golf Experience truly exceptional is the ability to play these world-class courses while being centrally based in Melbourne — a global capital of culture, cuisine, and style. From legendary fairways to lively laneways, you’ll enjoy the perfect blend of golf and lifestyle in one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
