The greater Melbourne area is unique in the way that it probably has the highest density of great golf courses within a two-hour radius than any other part of the world. Just an hour-and-ahalf from the Melbourne International Airport, the Mornington Peninsula is part of this amazing golf region, and boasts some of the best courses in the country, if not the world.
Most, if not all, of the courses in the Mornington Peninsula are open to the public. This month, we feature three of the best this area has to offer, each one with their own unique characteristic, playability and challenge. The only common feature they share is their quality and that few golfers will be disappointed by what they offer.
PORTSEA GOLF CLUB
“The union of a beautiful Mornington Peninsula location that’s rich in natural features and a smart approach to design created a layout that has stood the test of time. The Portsea course wins fans for its genius and guile, while its shot options scores were particularly healthy.”
This was what Australian Golf Digest had to say about Portsea Golf Club in their 2022/23 Australia’s Top 100 Golf Courses rankings. As the definitive golf media in the country, that says something.
As you drive through the gates of the club, located in the picturesque and charming seaside town of Portsea, there is every indication that this is a place of quality. The modern clubhouse oozes with class, with the wellstocked pro shop and restaurant within easy access, offering fine views over the course.
