When designed by Dan Soutar in 1925 (with bunkering laid out by Dr. Alister Mackenzie) it was officially the longest course ever seen in Australia . At over 6,800 yards it contained 12 par 5's and played to a par of 82 - a severe test using hickory-shafted clubs! In line with its name, "The Heath" is Australia 's (if not the world's!) greatest "heath land" course - the holes integrating perfectly, seamlessly and beautifully into the natural vegetation. Like the rest of its Sandbelt cousins the course conditions are invariably hard, fast and true.

For many seasoned golfers it is the course's short par 4's that distinguish it. However, it also contains a wonderfully varied (and deadly) set of par 3's. This course is a timeless gem and a true pleasure to play.   Kingston Heath has hosted all of the country's greatest tournaments and Tiger Woods will visit as the headline attraction for the 2009 Australian Masters.
