PLAY MAINLAND AUSTRALIA’S No.1 RATED COURSE.

For possibly the first time in the Club’s history, you can now access the course seven days a week. But this is a limited time opportunity.

See the ‘Booking Your Round’ page on this website for full details.

Ranked as the number one public access course on mainland Australia and fourth overall, we’re proud to stand among the nation’s finest.*

Tee times for green fee play are available daily (outside of member competition times), but due to limited availability, we recommend groups book well in advance — especially for peak times such as weekends, public holidays, and the period from late December to the Australia Day long weekend.

To book your round, call us on +61 (03)52556255 or click here to make an online booking or enquiry.

 

“From June (2024), the club will embark upon an extensive renovation of the clubhouse and accommodation, with the existing clubhouse expected to close for about a year. That’s bad news – for a little while – if you like staying on-site, but good news in other ways. As preferred tee-times are usually given to house guests, their absence will open more times for non­-members. While green-fee players are welcome at certain times of most days anyway, no house guests mean some prime tee-times will now be on offer.” Steve Keipert. Australian Golf Digest magazine. April 2024
