Melbourne is already spoilt in terms of golf courses being located a short drive from the “Sandbelt”; which maintains names such as Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath, but it is now adding to its hotel options with a range of new properties that have either opened this year or that are due to open later on in the year.  It promises to keep this vibrant cosmopolitan city high on the “must-see” list of any traveller, not just golfers.  You can see more details of some of the new hotels by clicking here.  We will be especially interested to see what Gordon Ramsey creates at the new Crown Metropol.
