The mid iron tee shot must carry over a deep gully in front of the two tiered and sharply contoured green. And there is a difference in condition of composite and non composite holes. The green sits so naturally into the hillside as does the bunkering, it’s as if they just walked up and put the flag in. It’s been said that, over the past 90 years, modern course architects have not been able to make another Royal Melbourne – which is a testament to its unparalleled quality decades after its sacred creation. Bobby Jones wrote of Mackenzie’s work: “It is playing Mackenzie’s work the highest possible compliment to say that all his courses are interesting, in every instance he placed interest ahead of difficulty.” Mackenzie de-emphasized penalties and punitive golf; he emphasized advantages gained by a well struck shot and disadvantages as an outcome of the poorly executed shot. These days the longest hitters can take on the green with a 3 wood, but to do so they must carry over all types of nasty vegetation and then the biggest bunker on the course, in search of a tiny green protected by steep drop offs and more bunkering at the rear.

Shorter hitters are at a real disadvantage on this golf hole due to the carry required. Although five is the best known par 3’s and one of the finest in the world, the seventh is nearly its equal due to the blind nature of the uphill shot, the placement of several bunkers and the severe tilt to the green. Ottima posizione con personale cordiale e professionale. What to say about the finest golf course in the Southern Hemisphere?Let’s start with it being a MacKenzie textbook on strategic golf.

The “better” miss is the front bunker on the right where I nearly saved par unlike that back bunker where I had no chance other than holing a long putt. It delivers me as much challenge as I can take plus more but remains really fun. Royal Melbourne (West) continues to be number one in the Australian rankings.

The grass around the bunkers is ragged, the fairways have a brownish hue and the rough fades to complete brown.I have not played the East Course, which includes 4 holes that are swapped with the West’s 13-16 to create the composite course used for tournaments.
