BHGC Community Golf Day 2025

Published on 2nd June 2014 in Guest Only

The 12th annual Community Golf Day will be held on Sunday 3 August 2025.

This much-loved event is a wonderful opportunity for non-member parents, locals and friends to play one of Australia’s best golf courses (at a significantly reduced rate), all while raising funds for the Barwon Heads Primary School.

Did you know:

Barwon Heads has been rated the Best Golf Town in Australia by Australian Golf Digest?
The Barwon Heads Golf Club is currently ranked as the number one public access course on mainland Australia. (2025 Golf Course Guide).
The editors of Australian Golf Digest listed The Barwon Heads Golf Club in their list of favourite 100 courses worldwide!
The Barwon Heads Primary School is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.

A Great Round for a Great Cause

Play at a significantly reduced tariff while raising money for our local primary school. The generosity of Golf Day participants helps fund additional resources for students and strengthens the relationship between the Club, the school and local families.

Format Changes in 2025

Traditionally, the Community Golf Day features a shotgun start followed by a family gathering in the Clubhouse. However, as the Clubhouse remains closed for restoration until later in 2025, adjustments—similar to those made in 2024—will again apply.

Single tee start.
18-hole tee times on the main course from midday.
For those not up to 18, nine-hole tee times on the main course from 2.00pm.
Complimentary Par-3 golf for Barwon Heads Primary School families from 3.00pm.
After-golf refreshments for participants will be available from the ‘Golfers’ Marquee’, adjacent to the driving range.
