Is it the best course in the world? Who can say. Royal Melbourne’s famed Composite layout has its moment in the Australian Golf Passport podcast spotlight this episode. We discus the origins of the concept for a course combining holes from East and West, and why it originated. The holes that make up Composite, and the sequence in which they’re been played for many different events in over time is also a topic for this episode. We round out the episode mulling over a host of listener questions, while also reminiscing about Presidents Cups of years gone by.
We hope this neatly puts a bow on our talks about Royal Melbourne, and that you find it a timely chat, with the imminent staging of the Asia Pacific Amateur championship over the Composite course later this month. We trust you will enjoy listening to this discussion about one of the world’s finest golf courses.
