by Scott Warren & Matthew Mollica
This is an Australian golf podcast about Australian golf courses, taking listeners on a dream lap of every golf course worth considering for a Down Under bucket list golf visit. We answer the questions that will help you make your dream Aussie golf trip a reality. No Fedex Cup updates, no equipment reviews, no technology debate, no betting-agency-sponsored tipping segment: Just the how, what, when and where of playing great golf in Australia, with the occasional sacred cow sacrificed in the name of frank discussion, and lessons from the mistakes we made along the way, so you don’t have to.

<p>We’re back to devote an entire episode to Yarra Yarra – one of those Sandbelt courses that doesn’t quite get the love it deserves on occasions. We start the episode with a fast review of Scott’s recent Canberra visit, including his quick lap around Royal Canbera.</p><p> </p><p>For those keen to visit Royal Canberra, click the link below -</p><p><a href="https://www.royalcanberra.com.au/cms/golf/playing-at-royal-canberra/">https://www.royalcanberra.com.au/cms/golf/playing-at-royal-canberra/</a></p><p> </p><p>During Scott’s October 2024 trip to Melbourne we took a look around Yarra Yarra, and have been keen to discuss the course and club ever since. We look at the history of the club from its earliest days, the move to the Sandbelt, tournament history at Yarra Yarra and the evolution of the course, from Alex Russell’s design, to the recent Renaissance Golf Design overhaul of the layout. The brilliant uphill par 3 11th,and re-sequencing of holes, and more.</p><p> </p><p>For those keen to visit and play Yarra Yarra, click the link below -</p><p><a href="https://www.yarrayarra.com.au/cms/golf/visitors-information/">https://www.yarrayarra.com.au/cms/golf/visitors-information/</a></p><p> </p><p>Thanks to all the listeners who sent in questions and topics of interest to cover during this episode.
