Great golf in an attractive setting is what first draws new Members to Royal Melbourne Country Club. Carved into the surroundings of wetlands, ponds, prairies and trees, the 18-hole, par 72 course combines the beauty of sport with the beauty of nature. Members not only experience the challenge of the game in the way it was meant to be played, but they get to do so in a lushly landscaped atmosphere inhabited by deer, swans, ducks, hawks and other, local wildlife. Although golf is what initially attracts Members, Royal Melbourne Country Club is far more than a golf club. Anchored by four championship Har-Tru tennis courts Adjoining the tennis area is our Junior Olympic swimming pool and adjacent children’s pool with separate locker room facilities, a snack bar and tennis shop. During the summer, we offer swim lessons daily and extended family hours weekly. Also on tap are pool parties, cookouts, and family events. For those who prefer to take their exercise indoors, in the main clubhouse offers a fitness room. From June through August, Royal Melbourne Country Club offers Camp Royal for ages four to twelve (4-12) and “Tiny Tots” for ages two to four (2-4). Camp Royal participants also enjoy the benefits of professional golf, swim and tennis lessons, as well as fun and healthy lunches. The focal point of Royal Melbourne Country Club is the 42,000 square foot Australia-inspired, Victorian clubhouse. With its comfortably elegant furnishings and rich quiet colors, it has become a model for contemporary country clubs across the nation. However, the Club was not just designed to be visually appealing; it was designed first and foremost to meet our Members’ needs as their “home away from home”. Creating the “home away from home” feeling, we have created cozy nooks for Members to chat by the fire or watch their favorite sporting event, providing terraces and verandas for sunny lunches and lazy afternoons, and offering superb food with superior service.
