Mandalay Golf Course

Absolutely hopeless to try & get in touch. Hadn't played Mandalay before, booked online, rang up to add a person and book carts, left 3 messages, none of these were returned, then finally rang again and got hold of a real person (Kevin?) who said that carts were included in the price paid online - they weren't, so we had to pay extra. No bar or food service available, 2 sad pies left in the pie warmer, the toilet out on the course was in a disgusting state, and the carts add an extra level of stress - you drive within 10-20 metres of a blue line and the cart cuts out and can only be driven in reverse, the carts are a complete pain. Course is quite nice, staff were friendly, but would I come again? No, there's much better service at other courses.

Course conditions pretty good even after heavy rain. There is not much variety - lots of straight away par 4’s around 360-380 from back tees - tough par 3’s. Bunkering is well placed for a challenging round. Quite a lot of holes have a decent walk green to tee - almost everyone used a cart. Unfortunately the housing estate construction mean the surrounds are quite unsightly throughout, where I’m sure rolling hills and farmland once dominated. Overall a good course.

A very friendly welcome from the staff member. He knew we were coming and had our cart keys ready. WE enjoyed an interruption free game. Four players. The only thing I would say is that I thought I was getting a 10% discount by registering with golf now. I also heard on SEN on the drive in that by paying 49.50 per person with two or four players with a cart, I thought that on the radio it said there was a free drink at the end of our round. That would have capped off the perfect day. I thought the screens with the information about the hole and distance to the front of the green and the flag were an excellent value add to the experience. Thanks. I will be back. IF you want to ring me about the absence of the drinks, I was the 7.24am tee time on 12 April.

I shot my best round of golf on this course as a high handicapper. Forgiving fairways, manageable hazards, tough but smooth greens. It’s a very long course with distance between greens & tee boxes, recommend getting a cart.

The course is a gem, challenging with no driver. Great day.

Bunker city , smooth fairways and some tricky greens. really enjoyed the experience!!!

Love this course one of the best public courses in Melbourne and a personal favourite of a number of our social clubs players.- I paid $43.00 AUS dollars

Great course close to Melbourne- greens, fairways were in great condition- GPS in the carts was fun!
