Mandalay Golf Course

Well maintain, challenging course great staff nice located reachable from Melb CBD

While the tee boxes are well maintained and look the part, that’s unfortunately where it ends.
The rest of the course felt like it was built on a swamp. It had rained the night before, but by 3pm the following day nothing was dry. Every fairway was muddy, with little sign of grass. The bunkers had turned into water hazards.
Pace of play was also very slow taking more than 4hrs to complete the round.
Perhaps a course that may play well in summer months?

Apart from some slow players in front who obviously didn't understand many etiquette requirements & recent coring of the greens that meant slow pace & some soil spreading, the course was in good condition. Playing windy conditions but was not a huge impact on length.

Great day. Would have just been nice to have been told the greens had been cored. We would have changed our itinerary around a little bit.

Shades of Moonah Links open course here in this course in the dry, barren Northern lands of Melbourne.

Weaving through the Mandalay housing estate is the very nice and playable Club Mandalay. On this summer day the course played hard, fast and true. Greens are hard and smooth, and the fairways rock hard.

There are definite Similarities with Thommos other course - Moonah Open, with similar style bunkers and wide open fairways. The par 3s are well bunkered and challenging.

Could be muddy in winter which I heard is a little bit of an issue.

Nice club with bar and proshop. Hitting nets and practice putting green near pro shop

Excellent golf course. Played it three weeks ago and it was baked. They have received rain since and course greened up beautifully. Greens a bit slow but manageable. Would definitely play again and recommend it.

Had good time, played with several locals on back nine, excellent value for money,

A very easy drive from Melbourne and great value for money. Would definitely recommend for golfers of all levels of ability.

Enjoyed playing here the first time I played it.
Moved my course membership over after one round.
Great course and conditioning.
Good test of your golf and playable for all levels of golfer.

We played this course today for the first time. It was surprisingly quick to get from Port Melbourne to the course. The clubhouse is terrific. The course is in great condition. The greens and fairways were perfect and the club had placed ice water around the course. This was really appreciated as it was a very hot day. All in all a great course to give a try.

On the map, Mandalay looks to be a fair way to go, but it takes about 45 minutes. The drive is worth it - great course, tough if you spray one wide and with consistent greens. The staff are nice and there are a few amenities for a hot day. Highly recommended.

The friending staff member got us underway and humid conditions,

The course was in very good shape, well looked after.

However the only downer was a Marshall was needed to move on a slow group of seniors.
