It seems every time I try to figure the Composite out on TV they change the hole numbers.Have they come to some consensus and shouldn't they?Is the walk past hole a disruption or is it just a few extra steps? I realize I am full of questions but one more: is there public transportation for the crowds or a lot off site with a shuttle?Other than the extra holes the property looks surrounded by neighborhoods.
Mike,
There is a solution. Jump on a plane and visit Melbourne! It has to be among the very best cities for golf and the Aussies I've met on my two visits have been very welcoming.
For a long time Royal Melbourne ranked at the top of my list of places I most wanted to see and after finally playing there it is hard to imagine many places I'd rather play on a regular basis. I will say, however, Kingston Heath might have impressed me more. Not because it is better. It isn't. But, KH is amazingly good for such a modest property.
Bottom line: no golf architecture student's travels are complete until seeing Royal Melbourne - both West and the East course.
