Mandalay Golf Course

The Mandalay Golf Course at Beveridge is a Peter Thomson designed course set in a new housing estate about 50 minute drive north of Melbourne.

Clubhouse under construction

Practice nets - that's it for warm up

The clubhouse is still under construction and at the moment only the 3 practice nets are in place (March 2015).

Another SGA Tour Victoria round for a early morning shotgun start.  Our group was on the first hole, a short par 4 to get the round underway.

The Mandalay fairways are in very good condition, the rough is not as long as the first time we played and the conditions were perfect for scoring.

Par 4 8th hole

Par 4 9th hole

Ninth green from path behind

Managed to have 21 points on the front nine including a wipe on the 7th when I didn't get out of a greenside bunker.

Par 3 11th hole

Generous fairways but greens well protected by bunkers, the course also usually has the regular breeze to help protect it but today was very still.

Par 4 12th hole



A steady start to the second nine before a couple of pars at the par 5 16th and 17th gave me 19 points for the nine and 40 overall.

Par 5 16th

Although not included in the 2012 Golf Digest rankings as it was not open, Mandalay has been listed at 56 in the Golf Course Guide Top 100 courses.

Par 5 17th
