JBWere Masters Kingston Heath Golf Club

Great looking course

I have been enjoying coverage of the Australian Masters, and particularly enjoying Kingston Heath golf club. Wow what a great golf course. The bunkering in particular looks fantastic, and the green complexes look challenging but fair.

Has anyone played this beauty? What are your impressions.

I enjoyed watching the tournament and really liked the look of the course as well, especially the setup with very wide fairways.

Awesome course. If you're playing well you are well rewarded. If you're not playing well, then you'll know it. Couch fairways where you just cannot hit a fairway wood fat. Carpet! Unwatered rough allowing you to play a shot without breaking your wrists. Slick greens that hold a well-struck fairway shot but any mis-hit is a goner. Bunkering with naturally compacted sand with minimal chance of getting a buried lie and most balls feed in to the flat bottom of the trap. Oh wait a sec. I've just described every one of the 15 or so courses in Melbourne's sandbelt!

Yes it's beautiful, my favourite Melbourne course. I've played royal Melbourne including the composite course straight after the World Cup. Kingston Heath in my opinion has the edge!

Big call, especially against the composite. I'd give it to RM on points, but it's good to see KH continues to look for small improvements with recent subtle changes to 11 and 18.
