Heritage (Henley)
Chirnside Park, Victoria
- Address21 Heritage Ave, Chirnside Park VIC 3116, Australia
The residential golf resort of Heritage lies within a 300-acre estate to the north east of Melbourne in the Yarra Valley and it features two excellent 18-hole championship layouts. The St John course – the third Nicklaus course in Australia after Lakelands and the Australian – opened in 2000 with Tony Cashmore’s Henley course following in 2006.
The Henley course at Heritage Golf & Country Club is laid out around wetlands on the floodplain of the Yarra River, featuring deep and menacing flash-faced bunkers and contoured greens designed to test even the best of putters. Like its sister course, fairways were sand-capped during construction to provide an optimum medium for grass growth and water drainage.
Architect Tony Cashmore describes the course as follows: “Henley will examine strongly the very best players from its back tees – to try to overpower it will require great skill, and failure will be absolute. But a quieter, more thoughtful approach to its strategic values from the regular tees will reward all golfers seeking a beautiful and stimulating course to play.”
