Golf in Mornington Peninsula

The Mornington Peninsula is a boot shaped peninsula located 85 minutes southeast of Melbourne. With a number of exciting golf projects recently finished or under development it the fastest growing golf region in Victoria (and arguably Australia).

The Mornington Peninsula comprises at least ten courses ranked in Australia's Top 100 golf courses. The natural, sandy soil is ideal for golf, with rugged coastal conditions providing golfing experiences akin to the famous links courses of Ireland and Scotland.

At the centre of this region lie a number of courses in an area known as "The Cups". The National Golf Club is a 54 hole private members' golf club, providing three distinct golfing challenges (Old Course, Ocean Course and Moonah Course), and through GOLFSelect, privileged access for Interstate and International guests. The three courses have been designed by 3 of the world's leading golf architects - Greg Norman, Robert Trent Jones Jr and Peter Thomson. As such the 3 courses, although located very closely to one another, offer the golfer a range of golfing experiences.

For the keen golfer Moonah Links offers the ultimate championship playing experience. The course has played host to the Australian Open on a number of occasions and is the new home of Golf Australia. This testing golf course features lengthy par 4 holes, tight fairways and heavily contoured putting surfaces. The Legends Course is also complete and offers a different golfing test (one that in many ways is more enjoyable).

Further down the road lie more golfing challenges. The Dunes is a true links course offering making you feel as though you are playing golf in Ireland. Holes are cleverly carved through enormous grass covered mounds and the natural bunkers have been shaped by the wind.

Portsea, Sorrento, Flinders, Eagle Ridge and Cape Schanck are further examples of courses providing memorable golfing experiences.

The region is also famous for its wineries and our range of tours combine exceptional golf with wineries producing some of the finest wine in the country - a combination that is hard to beat.
