Melbourne Golf Holidays

If you are wondering how to combine your passion for golf with a holiday in Melbourne, Australia, you will have many opportunities. Melbourne is host to some of the world's best golf courses.

Most Melbourne hotels will help you book a round of golf at one of the many private or public courses in the area.

The best known of the Victorian Golf courses are the famous Sand belt series of courses in the south-east on a map of Melbourne. These are the home of many international and Australian golf championships.

The top course within the Sand belt is the Royal Melbourne golf course in Black Rock. It is currently rated as the 6th best course in the world and is available during the week for limited visitor play. The Royal Melbourne Golf Club only permits visitors on the East and West courses.

Other Melbourne golf courses worth considering are the Victoria Golf course in Cheltenham, the Commonwealth golf course in South Oakleigh and Huntingdale in South Oakleigh. Some courses offer on-site accommodation in Melbourne, such as the Victoria Golf course and the Peninsula Golf Course.

There are some fine courses outside the Melbourne area, including the Murray River region, the Bellarine Peninsula and the Mornington Peninsula.

Consider booking a guided tour, if you want to combine a round at a number of the courses and on alternate days check out the other Melbourne tourist attractions such as the Melbourne Zoo, the Melbourne Museum or even take in a Melbourne AFL game.

No matter the weather in Melbourne, Victoria it is always a good day for golf!
