Tucked into the folds of the Yarra Valley on Melbourne's semi-rural northeastern edge, The Heritage's championship course sits among vineyards and rolling hills rather than city streets. The valley setting can trap cooler air overnight, and nearby acreage properties mean a degree of wood heater smoke is common on winter evenings. Being further from the coast than bayside Melbourne, the course is also more exposed to the smoke that drifts down from Victoria's summer and early-autumn bushfires. Outside those periods, the leafy, low-traffic surrounds generally keep conditions pleasant and free of the congestion typical of inner Melbourne.
