The Heritage Golf and Country Club (Henley Course)

The Heritage Golf & Country Club is located in the spectacular Yarra Valley (a prime Victorian wine district) only 45 minutes from Melbourne. The golf club combines wonderful golf with an imposing, comfortable clubhouse. Excellent service and food to match make it an ideal golfing getaway.

The Henley Course is a Tony Cashmore design that is set to takes its place alongside the St.John course in this 36 hole golfing resort. Extending over a vast area it winds its way through hills and valleys with significant wildlife and plenty of water hazards. The course is a par 72 measuring over 6,300 metres. There are a number of exciting holes including the 13th which winds it way through a valley narrowing slightly until the golfer reaches the well protected green. The many lakes on the course provide a home for native wildlife (and no doubt some golf balls too!).

All in all The Henley course is set to take its place amongst the highly regarded golf courses that Melbourne is blessed to have.

Playing Tips

1	Par 4, Length 357m A mid length par 4 to start where the tee shot needs to be placed in between two bunkers to leave a good angle into a gently contoured green. The big hitter is better placed with a fairway wood off the tee, as the fairway runs out at around 240 metres.
2	Par 5, Length 472m The best shot is played down the left side of this long hole. The key is to avoid the pond that guards the right part of the green, and staying out of the bunkers that stretch along the left. Make sure to avoid the back bunkers if the pin is front left, as a miscued bunker shot could find a watery grave. Making par on this hole is a good score.
3	Par 4, Length 300m Although distance off the tee can be an advantage on this hole, accuracy is the key to a par or birdie. Water stretches along the left of the hole and a bunker protects the front right portion of the green. Hitting the green may seem easy but an undulating green awaits.
4	Par 3, Length 172m A long iron or fairway wood is required to reach this green. Any prevailing wind will see the ball be pushed from right to left towards the water and be aware that a bunker protects the right part of the green. A tough par 3.
5	Par 4, Length 369m A premium is placed on an accurate tee shot on this hole. A bunker protects the right and water on the left. Coupled with an undulating fairway the player will be happy just to be on the cut surface. Be sure to take an extra club or two when hitting to the green to compensate for the uphill green.
6	Par 5, Length 502m A hole of choices, do you go left, right, or over the dead tree that guards the opening of the fairway? Once on the fairway do I lay up or risk getting close to the green that is protected by bunkers? A great par 5 hole.
7	Par 4, Length 383m Long Par 4, dog leg around to the right, slightly downhill. The best line is to just miss the bunkers on the right as the ball will bounce down to level ground leaving a mid iron approach to a tough green.
8	Par 3, Length 122m A great little par 3! Short, no bunkers, but birdie is not a given. A hump stands in front of the green to make the hole look longer than the yardage suggests. Once on the green its time to navigate around a gently contoured green.
9	Par 4, Length 410m Number 1 rated hole on the course. Fairway runs out at about 235m then leaving a long iron or fairway wood to a big green. The lay up area on the second shot is out to the left.
10	Par 4, Length 374m A good start to the second nine with a dog leg to the right, up and over a hill, leaving a downhill second shot into a contoured green.
11	Par 4, Length 314m The line on this hole is straight towards the half way house. You need to be straight and long enough past the trees on the left to give yourself a good look at this green. Strategically placed bunkers around the green make this a really classic hole.
12	Par 3, Length 157m Tough par 3. Slightly uphill into a big green. A false front and nothing behind the green make this a hard hole to judge. Trust your yardage and play for the right centre of the green.
13	Par 5, Length 498m A great par 5 that runs up through the Valley. Position your drive as close to the left bunkers as to leave a long second towards the green. Avoid the large tree on the left which leaves you a simple pitch into a huge green. Watch for the pin placement as it can play longer with a back pin placement.
14	Par 4, Length 362m Dog leg left, avoiding the bunkers on the left leaves a mid iron approach into a well contoured green. Driving through the fairway will see you needing to avoid a large tree on the right.
15	Par 3, Length 142m A short par 3 across water with a bunker at the back. If the pin is tucked to the left, the safe option is to just play for the middle of the green.
16	Par 4, Length 468m A long par 4 straight down hill. Avoid going right as you may not find your ball again! Second shot will play shorter as it is still downhill into a big green.
17	Par 5, Length 528m A real long 3-shot par 5. Once your in the fairway you have to then decide where to lay up. Left is the best option to avoid the bunkers and water on the right. Beware as a large bunker protects the opening of the green.
18	Par 4, Length 410m A long par 4 to finish your round. Dog leg right over a crest into a heavily guarded green. Par here to finish and you will be happy!
