Melbourne, Australia: Cathedral Lodge, a Greg Norman Golf Course Design project, has been named ‘Best New Private/International Course’ by
GOLF Magazine.
Located two hours northeast of Melbourne and set in the stunning Yarra Valley, the ultra-exclusive Cathedral Lodge covers 300-plus acres and is backdropped by the rolling hills of the Cathedral Ranges.
The par-72, 18-hole course takes advantage of the Australian landscape’s running creeks, natural gorges and native flora and fauna to create a unique and memorable experience on each hole.
The 7,023-yard layout is grassed with Santa Ana Couch and T1 Bentgrass, featuring five par-fives, five par-threes and a unique bunkering design.
GOLF Magazine said: “
Greg Norman the architect is fast approaching the success levels Greg Norman the golfer.”
Norman, a two-time Open Championship winner, said: “Words cannot express the pride and excitement I feel to receive this prestigious accolade by a magazine that is considered the gold standard in golf course design review and rankings.
“I am immensely happy for my team and for the Evans family who had the vision to build this special course. There is nothing else like it in Australia – or the world for that matter.”

“Greg and his team have delivered a quintessential Australian masterpiece. It is everything that I dreamed for … and more,” said Evans. “The stunning layout truly highlights the beauty of Australia and its landscape and we could not have asked for anything better.”
