Sandhurst Club third confirmed golf venue

It is with great pleasure that I can announce that the third days' play in the Golfing Marathon for the Ride to Conquer Cancer will be at the Sandhurst Club in South-East Melbourne, starting 7am May 15th on either the North or Champions course.  I know I keep on saying it but once again, I am very lucky to have the backing of such a world class facility to continue my fundraising quest.

Sandhurst Club boasts 36 holes of championship golf, and is the home of the Australian Professional Golfers Association (PGA).  Designed by Australia's greatest ever golfer, Peter Thomson and world-renowned design team, Thomson & Perrett, the North Course emphasizes strategic shot making and provides a searching test of golfers short game skills.  In an innovative first for golf course architecture in this country, Thomson & Perrett designed the Champions Course in a dedication to past champions of the Professional Golfers’ Association of Australia.  Holes on the sandbelt styled Champions Course feature a plaque near each tee as a tribute to the relevant skills and attributes of the past champion, after whom each hole has been dedicated.  Some of the most notable features of the Champions Course at Sandhurst Club are the gentle sandbelt style fairway contours, coupled with the open fronts to greens, and substantially tree lined fairways, in contrast to the more “hurdle style” experience of the North Course.

Along with an impressive clubhouse with its bars, licensed restaurant and Members' Bar, Sandhurst Club has a Health Club with a pool, aerobics room, gymnasium and Tennis courts.

Sandhurst Club is the ideal place to build not just a home, but an ideal lifestyle. Whether it’s living along rolling green fairways, on an island surrounded by water or along a grand tree-lined boulevard, at Sandhurst Club it's all possible.
