The Course
"One of the first and lasting impressions on arrival at the Growling Golf Course is the magnificence of the site and the serenity of the setting," says Graham Marsh.
"This is a classic piece of land that truly reflects the unique beauty and character of the Australian countryside." The Growling is nestled amongst stately 300 year old River Red Gums on more than 300 acres, and surrounded by abundant wildlife.
Peaceful and picturesque with uninterrupted views to the magnificent Great Dividing Range, it is hard to believe that you are just 30 kilometres north of Melbourne's CBD.
The Growling will appeal to golfers seeking a different playing experience to Melbourne's traditional sandbelt courses, and presents a rare opportunity to experience a level of quality and facility that you tend to expect at the best private clubs, all at affordable prices.
Social club players, corporate teams, golfing enthusiasts, weekend warriors and even beginners will be able to enjoy a course meticulously designed to challenge and intrigue players of every ability, and keep them coming back for more.
"The City of Whittlesea has established a strong reputation for its commitment to quality and innovation.As one of Victoria's major growth corridors, we are proud to make this first rate golf course and facilities an accessible and affordable reality for the local community as well as golfers from Melbourne and beyond "says City of Whittlesea Mayor Frank Merlino.
Skilfully crafted by master golf course designer Graham Marsh, boasting world-class facilities, clubhouse architecture by Perrot Lyon Matheson, innovative construction technology and a unique Australian setting, the Growling will quickly take its place amongst the best public access golf courses in Australia.
The Growling Golf Course is poised to take its first great leap into the Australian golf community in 2004.
