the eastern golf club
With a philosophy to create an environment in harmony with the broader landscape, The Eastern Golf Club commissioned Greg Norman Golf Course Design (GNGCD) to design the 27-hole championship standard course plus Shark Waters – a Par-3 nine-hole course.
The Eastern Golf Club’s 27-hole, championship standard, course has been designed with quality and playability in mind. The Club’s course design brief to designers was, that the course must be / have:
- Generous landing areas and highly playable for golfers of all abilities.
- Strategic focus (not penal) with optimal line of play.
- Walkable & multiple sets of tees to accommodate players of all levels.
- Superior practice facilities.
- High quality playing surfaces all year round.
Receiving outstanding reviews from members and guests, the highly playable, member friendly design complements the existing topography whilst ensuring the spectacular natural features of the stunning setting and dramatic views of the surrounding Christmas Hills and Dividing Ranges are maximised to enrich the playing experience.

Courses:
The Eastern Golf Club is a Greg Norman Designed Golf Course that was designed with one thing in mind – playability – for everyone and Norman has definitely delivered on that brief.
The course is a second shot course with an emphasis on good iron play and course management to score well. The fairways are wide and generous although approaching the green from the right angle is important to maximise opportunities. The green complexes are where most of the challenges are but there are always escape routes for the more conservative golfer. There are five tee options available that accommodate all levels of players so be sure to pick the right one, also taking into consideration the conditions on the day.
We are confident that you will find your playing experience at The Eastern Golf Club a great one and we hope that our tips that can be found on the below links are of assistance.
