Growling Frog Golf Course
Growling Frog Golf Course is where Melbourne's northern fringe gets gloriously wild. Graham Marsh routed this 18-hole par-72 public course across 280 acres of bushland and wetland, past ancient river red gums, kangaroos and views toward the Great Dividing Range. Strategic bunkering and gently rolling ground keep the golf lively without spoiling the scenery. Online booking, a seven-day driving range, coaching, GPS carts, hire equipment, restaurant and function spaces round out the Yan Yean experience.

Bold Graham Marsh shaping through undulating country gives the Growling Frog a big, open feel framed by ancient River Red Gums; firm, true bentgrass greens and strategic bunkering reward smart shot selection while running fairways and elevation demand course management; clubhouse and food lift the day.
