Royal Park Golf Club 2010 Return to Royal Park

Est. 1903

Situated in picturesque Royal Park, the course is both attractive and challenging, only 3 kms from the city, with the honour of being possibly the only golf course with a tram and train line running through it. The Club has been the nursery for many golfers who went on to make a mark in the golfing world, including Peter Thomson (club champion at the age of 16, in 1945) who won the British Open 5 times, Gus Jackson and Mick Ryan. Peter and Mick were both included in the VGA's Victorian Team of the Century in 2002.

After a hot and at times wet weekend, the Club was lucky to have a sunny and mild day to hold the 5th Return to Royal Park event. The winner was Chris Wright, the most recent Monthly Medal winner, with the score of 28 points.

The Club thanks all the participants of this annual event and looks forward to holding it again next year.
