Yarra Bend Golf

Yarra Bend Golf offers a complete 18-hole championship layout situated in Fairfield within South Australia's Melbourne Metro. Playing to a par of 70 and measuring 5,371 metres with an official Golf Australia slope rating of 116, the layout demands disciplined club selection and strategic shot placement from the tee.

The course routing takes full advantage of its natural picturesque river parkland, introducing natural elevation changes, tree-lined fairway corridors, and subtle contours that reward well-placed drives and calculated approach angles.

Putting greens at Yarra Bend Golf are surfaced with Bentgrass, manicured to provide true-rolling ball speeds and consistent roll across all 18 holes. Subtle green slopes and borrows require thoughtful green-reading and distance control on downhill putts.

Fairways are planted with Couch, producing lush, tightly knit lies and reliable turf cushions that encourage clean iron strikes throughout the season.

Yarra Bend Golf is an unrestricted public golf facility (Tier 1) welcoming non-members every day of the week. Social golfers, casual players, and beginners are all invited to play without needing a club membership or official handicap.

Tee times can be booked online through the official booking portal or by contacting the pro shop at +61 3 9481 3729. Walk-up players are accommodated whenever tee sheets allow, though booking ahead for weekend mornings and peak periods is strongly advised. Green fees are from $20.00 AUD (toptracer range) up to $49.00 AUD.

Yarra Bend Golf is configured as a walking golf course. Pull trolleys and buggies are welcome, and the natural terrain provides an enjoyable, accessible walking round.

Pre-round preparation is supported by a dedicated driving range, a manicured practice putting green, allowing golfers to warm up their swing and dial in green speeds prior to teeing off.

While clubhouse hours are primarily focused around competition days, the course is located within minutes of local Fairfield cafes, bakeries, and country pubs for post-round meals and refreshments.
