Located in the scenic suburb of Kew East, Green Acres Golf Club is Melbourne’s premier Yarra River golf course, offering a one-of-a-kind golfing experience. Established in 1948, the club has a proud history and has grown to embrace over 1400 members.
The name “Green Acres” was suggested by Mr G. B. Oliver in 1947, who believed that the proximity to the Yarra River would ensure that the course remained lush and green. Over the years, the club has proven this to be true, with Melbourne Water implementing control measures to reduce flooding in recent years.
Since its inception, the club has played an active role in the Victorian golfing community, hosting various tournaments and events.
The Green Acres Clubhouse, which was redeveloped in 2012, offers members access to top-notch facilities that match the quality of the course. With stunning views of the Yarra River and the course, the Members Bar, Members Lounge, and function spaces provide the perfect atmosphere for socialising and unwinding after a round of golf. The clubhouse also boasts exquisite function spaces that are ideal for weddings and special events.
Environmental conservation is a top priority at Green Acres Golf Club. Located in an environmentally significant area along the Yarra River, the club is surrounded by beautiful native flora and fauna, including majestic River Red Gums. As custodians of this unique site, Green Acres takes great care to ensure the preservation and thriving of these natural assets.
Joining Green Acres Golf Club offers exclusive access to a challenging 18-hole course, a contemporary clubhouse, and a comprehensive Golf Centre. The club fosters a friendly sense of community, making it the perfect place for golf enthusiasts to connect and enjoy their passion for the sport.
