The Heritage Golf and Country Club's St John's course is an American parkland style course with wide generous fairways and subtle greens to test even the most serious golfer. Originally designed by Jack Nicklaus, the course wraps around the spectacular Heritage entrance and extends 6670 metres to the banks of the Yarra river.
-
St John’s specially designed bunkers artfully guide players through the immaculately groomed greens. Strategically placed slopes, mounds and traps make every hole a quest of its own.
