Playing every golf course in Melbourne Australia Rd 14: Eynesbury Golf

This is one of the most requested golf courses on the channel. Eynesbury golf is 30 minutes from the CBD and it’s the 12th longest course in Australia, and I played it from the black tees. If you know a better course than this let me know in the comments. But this has been one of my favourites so far.
Hole 1 is a Par 4 353m. I hit a good drive down the middle of the fairway. And then hit a pitching wedge at the green. It came up a little short and I chipped at the hole. I putt for par but missed and took a bogey to start.
Hole 2 is a Par 4 339m dog leg left. Again, I went down the middle with a drive. And hit a 5-iron at the flag over a river and sand. My chip went a little long but I was able to hole out a par from 8 yards.
Hole 3 is a Par 3 177m. I hit my 5 iron over the back of the green , and chip if back off the other side of the green. I hit a long putt from the fringes which comes pretty close and I finish out with a bogey.
Hole 4 is a Par 4 460m. It’s a dog leg left and I cut the corner over the bunkers at 230m. I hit a 7-iron at the green and the wind pulls it left. I hit a nice chip, really close to the hole and thinking I’ll finish with a par. But it misses and I take a bogey.
Hole 5 is a 517m Par 5. I hit a good drive down the middle. I hit a low punching 3-wood and it runs up close to the hole. My flop shot lands about 8 yards past the hole. And I hit my best putt of the day, for a birdie.
Hole 6 is a Par 4 390m. It’s windy and pull my drive left into the rough. I hit a 7-iron at the green but again the wind takes it and it lands in the sand. I get it up and out for a par putt. It doesn’t fall and I take a bogey.
Hole 7 is a Par 5 494m. My drive goes long but rolls off the fairway and I have a bad lie from 200ish yards. I layup a 7-iron towards the green and pitch it close to the hole. I have a birdie chance, which turns into a par chance and ends up as a bogey.
Hole 8 is a Par 3 160m. I hit a 5-iron at the hole and it hits the green. I have a long putt for birdie but I run it up close and manage to tap in a par.
Hole 9 is a Par 4 413m. I hit my 3-wood off the tee to come up short of the bunkers. And I hit my 5-wood into the green side bunker. I’m in the sand so much that it doesn’t really bother me anymore. I have a decent chance to save par, it doesn’t fall and I take a bogey on the 9th.
I played reasonably well here, despite the fact I left a lot of putts behind me. But I had 6 bogeys, 2 pars and 1 birdie. 41 shots on a handicap of 14 which would give me 20 points.

Hole 10 is a Par 5 527m. I push my drive right and have to lay up with a 7-iron because there’s water to the left and a stream up ahead. I hit a 7-iron again and came up short of the green. My flop shot landed beside the hole and I missed the par, taking another bogey.
Hole 11 is a Par 3 188m. I hit a 4-iron here and it ran over the back. I hit another flop shot and but it went a bit too far, leaving me with a tricky par putt. It goes close enough for me to tap in a bogey.
Hole 12 is a Par 4 348m. I hit a 3-wood to be short of the sand, but it landed straight in it. I hit a pitching wedge out and flew the green. My chip out was decent and I could have saved par, or a bogey, but I missed both and took a double bogey.
Hole 13 is a Par 4 312m. I hit a good drive down the middle and my gap wedge hit the centre of the green. I had a long putt for birdie, and this this time I got it close enough for my first par of the back nine.
Hole 14 is a Par 4 420m. My drive rolled into the sand so I had to lay up my second shot because I didn’t think I could clear the water. My pitch found the sand again and I chipped it out for a bogey putt. It didn’t fall and I took another double bogey here.
Hole 15 is a Par 3 181m. My 4-iron pushed a little right and rolled off the green. I hit a flop shot to right beside the flag for a tap in par. Which missed left and I took another bogey.
Hole 16 is a Par 5 537m. I lost the ball of this ball in the sun. My 5-iron landed in the sand. I chipped it to the back of the green and hit a decent chip at the hole. And I pop the putt in for a double bogey.
Hole 17 is a Par 4 348m. I hit my drive into yet another bunker. And pitch it out to the left side of the green. My flop shot landed in a decent position but as you probably guess I had a three putt from here for another double bogey.
Hole 18 is a Par 4 412m. I had to clear a stream at 210m and keep right of the water down the left-hand side. But I smoke it down the middle and have an 8-iron 127m to the green. I hit it well and it lands centre of the green. I tap my putt forward and manage to finish out with a par.
So, I gave an exhibition in 3-putting there for anyone who wants to re-watch this for a few top tips. It was pretty dismal, with 4 double bogeys, 3 bogeys and only 2 Pars. I should only be 11 over for the round not the back nine. But these things happened and we move. Eynesbury however, is a great course. It’s very tricky with tough greens, bunkers absolutely everywhere and water hazards on nearly every hole. And yes, it is very long course so I would recommend a cart if you’re playing. If you can recommend a course that’s better than this, drop it in the comments below. And if you made it this far, give the channel a follow to see more of Melbourne’s golf courses.
