A bushland retreat in Yan Yean

You’ll find them in Yan Yean, a half hour drive from Melbourne’s Northern Ring Road, an hour north of the city’s rattle and hum.

The spectacular 18-hole course was designed in 2004 by Australian golf legend Graham Marsh, a par-72 set on 280 acres of bush and wetland, featuring ancient River Red Gums, kangaroos, and stunning views of the southern edge of the Great Dividing Range.
