PLAY AT THE CUP

The Presidents Cup returns to Royal Melbourne

Golf Club for the third time this December,

where Tiger Woods is set to become the fi rst

playing captain since 1994.

Such an extraordinary event will surely

have patrons eager to test their own skills

throughout the week ... But getting access

to the world-class courses of the Melbourne

Sandbelt is easier said than done.

Gimme Golf – one of the longest-running

tour operators in Australia – is aware of that

and is offering an exclusive fi ve-day, “Play

and Watch” package, which incorporates two

rounds of golf on the Sandbelt.

The package, starting from $2,325 per

person, includes: fi ve nights’ accommodation;

two rounds of golf at Huntingdale and

Victoria Golf Clubs; four-day admittance to the

Presidents Cup; transfers; spectator function

at Crown Casino; souvenir merchandise and

daily breakfasts.

Three-day viewing packages are also

available and start from $958 per person.

MURRAY MAGIC

The towns of the Murray River are home to some of

the most enjoyable inland golf courses this country has

to offer – and Yarrawonga is one of the absolute stars.

Three hours north of Melbourne and seven hours

south of Sydney, Yarrawonga makes for an excellent

base to access the likes of Black Bull Golf Club and

Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Resort, with Tocumwal,

Cobram Barooga and Corowa all within easy reach, too.

Airtree Golfers Resort – which recently changed

hands – is located off the Murray Valley Highway, fi ve

minutes west of the main township of Yarrawonga.

The resort provides accommodation, an onsite golf

pro (original owner, Glenn McCully) and a range of golf

holiday packages.

For more information, including current specials, visit

Former Australian Masters

host Huntingdale contains

classic sandbelt features.

Black Bull is certainly

worth playing when

visiting Yarrawonga.
