Melbourne Bellarine Peninsula Golf Experiences

If you want to stay outside the hustle and bustle of Melbourne, Australia then consider the scenic Bellarine Peninsula. The largest regional town in Victoria is the coastal city of Geelong and the area is home to a number of great local golf courses.

If you are attracted to traditionally designed courses, then book into Lonsdale or Point Lonsdale golf course (as it used to be known), located at 69 Fellows Rd, Londsdale. This course requires concentration and accuracy to make the most of the course.

For links-style courses, visit Barwon Heads Golf Course, at Golf Links Rd, Barwon Heads or Thirteenth Beach Golf course, Barwon Heads Rd, Barwon Heads. Thirteenth Beach courses are listed consistently in the top-10 public access courses in Australia and have two courses for play. This is quite a new club that has come a long way in a short space of time.

Another new course is the Sands Torquay Golf Course at the Sands Boulevarde, Torquay. This is the first course designed by the famous golfer Stuart Appleby and is a golfer's dream. It blends seamlessly into the Melbourne sand dunes and tall grass of the area, with the cross winds creating additional challenge.

One of the more unusual courses is the Queenscliff Golf Course. It backs onto a no-go military area on Swan Island, Queenscliff and you need to pass through a military checkpoint before you can tee-off. The Queenscliff Golf Course is built straight on sand, which makes it firm underfoot, even when other Melbourne, Victoria courses are water affected.
