7. Royal Melbourne (East)   No change
Highest ranking – 7 (2014/’16)

Arguably the most under-appreciated of the great courses in Australia, the East at Royal Melbourne tends to live in the shadows of its mighty big brother. This is much better than a support act, however, with a bunch of world-class golf holes on the main paddock and some real fun and charm on the eastern parcels of land. The average score for Royal Melbourne East improved more than one point (out of 50) from 2014, and has the course knocking on the door of the top five for 2018.
