The Links at Barwon Heads regularly rates in Australia’s top golf courses. It is currently the highest ranked public access course on mainland Australia.
The nearby Bass Strait and sand dunes along with the weather conditions provide a course reminiscent of famed Scottish links. The undulating terrain, in harmony with the natural features of the land will ensure that you will remember time spent at Barwon Heads.
For possibly the first time in the Club’s history, green fee play is available seven days a week—but only for a limited time.
Groups are advised to book well in advance, especially for peak times (weekends, public holidays and from late December to the Australia Day long weekend). Click the ‘Booking Your Round’ button below for full details.
Clubhouse Closure: The Club’s iconic 100-year-old, heritage-listed Clubhouse is currently closed for a $20 million renovation and restoration. Scheduled to reopen in late 2025, the revitalised Clubhouse will continue to offer its renowned charm and hospitality, including the accommodation on the upper level. During this time, a temporary ‘Golfers’ Marquee’ near the practice fairway provides a comfortable and welcoming after-golf food and beverage service.
Clubhouse Reopening: You are invited to combine your round with an overnight stay in the Clubhouse to enjoy one of Australia’s greatest golf experiences. Booking enquires are welcome for dates from late-2025.
Weekly competitions, social play, pennant, inter-club fixtures, prestigious honour board events – or just a relaxing twilight round with a guest. The choice is yours.
Located opposite the Clubhouse and adjacent the first tee, the shop has a reputation for personalised, professional service and premium quality apparel and equipment. It also offers Trackman technology and expert club fitting.
The Barwon Heads Golf Shop is open to members, visitors and the public every day of the year excluding Christmas Day.
Although many of the practices below are not part of the formal rules of golf, golfers playing the links are expected to observe them.
The R&A rule book states that “the overriding principle is that consideration should be shown to others on the course at all times”.
