Golf at RACV Healesville Country Club and Resort

It's not a bad course and in good condition usually, but I think a little overated and particularly when you consider what it costs to play there. There is better at more reasonable pricing. So in short it's not a bad course but I think too expensive for what it is, you could do better for the money.

For $70 I was expecting a top-tier golfing experience, something that matched the price and the promise of a full par 72 course. While the facilities were genuinely impressive (great clubhouse, well-maintained amenities), I came here to play golf, not just admire the surroundings. Unfortunately the course itself didn’t quite deliver. Several greens had recently been punched, making putting feel more like a game of pinball than precision. The layout was short and not particularly engaging, definitely not what you’d hope for at this price point. Pin placements on the day were bold. One hole had the pin just 1.5 meters from a bunker you couldn’t even see from the tee, with the green sloping directly into it. “Challenging,” perhaps, but mostly just aggravating. To be fair, I could’ve just been hangry, since I couldn’t justify spending any more money than I already had. All in all, great facilities and friendly staff, but the course condition and value for money left me underwhelmed. At $45–$50, I’d probably feel differently, but at $70, it’s a tough sell.

Played an early round today hoping to have a nice easy run. Green staff where very rude, I litrally waited twenty minutes on the first hole to take my second shot into the green. With a $69 dollar green fee, I would expect better awareness by greens staff, I learned a few holes later after waiting on another tee for maintanance staff that you need to yell four at them to move for you to play through 🤷 this might be etiquette but again not what I would expect for the price tag. After finishing my 18 holes I did enjoy my round but I am rather underwhelmed at the qaulity of the course. It is most definitely a true challenge, but I definitely felt it was made difficult for the sake of being difficult with the fairways being a bit sub par and a few greens fading due to under watering. That said it's a nice walk and the course has alot of potential but it is a bit short and need a bit more love to deserve the price tag it's charging. I would put this course at about level par with Gardner's Run if a bit harder due to bunkers placement.

The course is well maintained and the live play with kangaroos nicking your balls ‘that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!’ Makes it a very unique course to play on. Why go to the zoo when you can play a round of golf!
