Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 9 October 2026 and 10 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Looking to get moving around Malvern East? The honest answer is a short list: three places, not a long one. One gym in Carnegie, one public golf course in Malvern East and one tennis club that sits over the border in Glen Iris.
We ranked nothing. Each entry shows what the venue or council lists: hours, facilities and, for golf, green fees. Every place was confirmed at two independent sources, and the club and council pages are the ones to check before you turn up.
