Golf

Melbourne is one of the world's great golf cities. The famous Sandbelt sits surprisingly close to the CBD, while the Mornington Peninsula and coast open up another collection of exceptional courses within easy reach of the city.

Some clubs welcome eligible interstate and international visitors directly, while others require more careful planning. Tell us your preferred date, handicap, home club and how far you're willing to travel, and the concierge team will help shape the strongest option.

Tee times, visitor access and playing conditions are subject to individual club policies and availability.
