Flinders Golf Club — Restaurant in Melbourne

Incredibly over-rated.

The actual golf course is a “3” at best, or high “2” out of 5. Substandard greens, long fairways with rubbish gullies or trenches running across them, tees where you have to hit blind and can’t see your ball landing.

When the naval gun practice range is firing it is VERY unpleasant. Pro shop staff member I dealt with was surly, but that is only one person. However the clubhouse had only the cheapest pub food when our group arrived for lunch, apparently due to a staff member being absent. One staff member away, and the whole restaurant folds? Give me a break.

The view from the course and clubhouse over the water are very good though. I would go to the clubhouse for a coffee if in the area. But I won’t...

Wasn't exactly sure where to check in for our reserved table, but was quickly greeted and shown to our table by a smiley member of staff. We took a few moments to go on the balcony and take some photos of the fabulous view. The menu was very simple but actually perfect for us. Saganaki to share to start, then seafood linguine, smoked salmon salad and calamari and chips! All prepared perfectly and delicious. Would have been good to be able to select from a cocktail menu maybe? Aperol spritz is very popular. Instead we had two glasses of very nice rose wine.

Overall, great food, great views, and friendly staff. And the reservation admin...

A course with memorable scenic views. Great customer service in allowing us to change tee times to grab a quick lunch beforehand. And making us feel comfortable.

Lunch was delicious. Calamari was fresh and well cooked. Soft and tender. The dumplings were also surprisingly tasty with actual chunks of prawns. Top notch for a golf club.

Facilities were clean.

Cart was pretty good and comfortable seats with GPS tracking distances to the hole.

Course was well maintained. Struggled to keep the ball on the green, but that's my skill not the green!

Lost a ball in the coffin and landed in the next ditch.

Definitely would...
