The 27-hole club in Victoria’s stunning Yarra Valley has settled into a new era.
The Eastern Golf Club provides a tranquil golfers’ escape just an hour from Melbourne’s CBD. Expansive fairways and generous greens across the Greg Norman-designed facility offer plenty of variety across three nine-hole courses. Similarly, the aptly named par-3 layout – Shark Waters – rounds out the experience. Requiring most clubs in the bag, the nine-hole loop provides an additional playing option for members and visitors, enhancing the family-friendly aspect of the club.
The club’s grand clubhouse has been fully rebuilt and is once again home to a spacious lounge area with bar and restaurant where many a post-round post mortem has taken place, as well as a function space and a state-of-the-art simulator room.
Course conditioning and member playability remain a priority, with fairways shaped back to their original design to bring out and enhance the architectural features Greg Norman intended. Recognition of the club’s quality has followed with Eastern’s South course featuring in Australian Golf Digest’s Top 100 Golf Courses ranking for 2026-27.
Completing the picture at the club is Yering Gorge Cottages, a smattering of modern and luxurious cottages on a hillside overlooking the golf course and adjoining the nearby Yarra River. The cottages allow complete freedom to roam the property in this delightful corner of the Yarra Valley, making the notion of letting a weekend slip away without leaving the premises both real and inviting.
The 13 cottages include one and two-bedroom configurations, plus a three-bedroom villa for larger groups to ensure any golf trip is covered.
The Eastern Golf Club is a signatory to the R&A Women in Golf Charter currently boasting a vibrant women’s membership with a focus on camaraderie and social connection.
The club currently has five, six and seven-day memberships available.
