The Heritage Golf and Country Club

The Heritage Golf and Country Club

The Heritage Golf and Country Club is located approximately 45 kilometres east-north-east from Melbourne's CBD, in the suburb of Chirnside Park, Victoria, Australia. It opened in the year 1999 with the release of Stage One residential development, with the Jack Nicklaus-designed St John Golf Course opening in 2000. The construction of the Stage Two, the Henley Golf Course, designed by Tony Cashmore, has recently been completed, and opened on the 8 October, 2006. The planning of Stage Three: Botanica, a residential development of apartments and villas, is under way.

Location

The Heritage Golf and Country Club is set on the outskirts of the Melbourne metropolitan area. It is situated in the heart of the Yarra Valley region, renowned for its extensive range of vineyards and wineries. The Heritage Golf and Country Club is located in the suburb of Chirnside Park, and adjacent to suburbs of Wonga Park and Christmas Hills. The "Henley" Golf Course is located in Christmas Hills, across the Yarra River.

Facilities

Sebel Heritage Yarra Valley

"The Sebel Heritage Yarra Valley" is operated by the Mirvac Group. It opened in 2002 and the three-storey complex includes 96 standard rooms, six deluxe suites, the "Bella Restaurant", and numerous function rooms. The hotel is located across the Heritage Avenue from the "Clubhouse".

Clubhouse

The "Clubhouse" was built to accompany the "St John Golf Course". It features a "Pro Shop", "Members Lounge" (private), the "Nicklaus Bar" (public), the "Yarra Restaurant" and the Angola Room(the former member's lounge, unused since 2005).

Golf Courses

St John Golf Course

The 18-hole "St John" layout was opened in 2000. The course is designed by Jack Nicklaus, one of the all time greats in golfing history. The championship course measures 6670 metres in length, with a par of 72 and an ACR of 76. The St John course has been a huge success, with the Australian Golf Digest awarding the layout in the top 40 of all Australian golf courses.

Henley Golf Course

The "Henley" layout was recently completed and opened to a limited number of members on October 2006. The 18-hole course is designed by Tony Cashmore. In comparison to the St John course, the Henley is a links course, with far fewer trees, more water hazards and greater exposure to the natural elements, especially wind. The Henley golf course has recently come under criticism for the premature opening of the golf course. In 2007 the playing rights were open to all members, their guests, and hotel patrons, similar to the St John Golf Course.

Restaurants

Bella Restaurant

The "Bella Restaurant" began operations when the hotel was opened. Located on the ground floor, the restaurant uses local ingredients to create Mediterranian dishes. The head chef of the restaurant is Marc Brown. Only the Bella restaurant is fully open to the public.

Yarra Restaurant

The "Yarra Restaurant" is situated on the first floor of the Clubhouse. The restaurant is an ideal location for private functions and large gatherings. The restaurant is only open to the public on Sundays, with its buffet brunch.

Wellness Retreat

The "Wellness Retreat", formerly known as the Heritage Retreat, was built shortly after the hotel began operations. It features a gymnasium, indoor 20-metre swimming pool, steam room, outdoor double tennis courts and the Dayspa.
