Royal Melbourne's two courses, the East Course and the West Course, are
each ranked amongst the best in the world. Royal
Melbourne has hosted numerous national and international events, most
famously the 1959 Canada Cup, and the
1970 World Cup. It was selected by the PGA Tour to hold the Presidents
Cup for the first time outside the United States in December 1998. The Club will also host the Presidents Cup in 2011. A
combination of holes from each course is called the Composite Course and in 2007 Golf
Digest magazine ranked the Composite Course as the sixth best course in the
world outside the United States.
