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.
