The Experience
An overnight stay in the Clubhouse combined with a round the following morning is one of Australia’s best golf experiences.
Stay a little longer and enjoy all that Barwon Heads and the Bellarine has to offer.
The current situation at the Club due to COVID-19 is:

Winter
Situated only metres from Victoria’s roaring Surf Coast, this highly rated links course is a delight to play any time of the year. But in winter the open air experience – with Mother Nature by your side – can be even more memorable. With the salt breeze blowing over the natural contours of the course and its immaculate greens you’ll feel like you’re on one of Scotland or England’s elite courses.
Established in 1907, The Barwon Heads Golf Club is considered by many to be Australia’s first true links course. And right next to the renowned links, the Clubhouse has a unique atmosphere that brings more than a hint of old Scotland to Victoria.
Complimentary golf for up to two guests with Sunday-Thursday B&B packages is available during June, July and August. Save up to $240 on green fees per twin room.
The Region
Bellarine Peninsula, Geelong, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
“Previously noted in Lonely Planet’s Top 10 global ‘Best in Travel’ destinations, The Bellarine Peninsula has been a destination of choice for Melburnians looking for a laid-back escape from the city for generations. The Bellarine is a ferry ride from the Mornington Peninsula and a convenient place to touch down for a couple of nights before continuing on to the Great Ocean Rd.”
