THE GOLF COURSE

The Course History
Tomojiro Maruyama, a Japanese Golf Course Architect, was engaged by MID (the original owners) to design the Resort's 27-hole course which was opened in 1990. In April 1996, a fourth 'gold' nine was officially opened at Royal Pines and completed the Resort's West course. In early 2002 the West Course was closed and preparations began for a new nine-hole course. The new nine holes were designed by Graham Marsh Golf Design. This saw the Resort move back to a 27-hole composite course, with the evolution of the course names, Binnowee, Wangara and Aroona. After RACV purchased the 27 Hole Golf Course in September 2008, a decision was made to move back to the traditional golf course operation, by re-naming the 3 courses with the colours GOLD, GREEN and BLUE.
