Victoria: Australia's Golfing Heartland

Victoria isn't just a golf destination — it's arguably the finest concentration of golf on the planet outside the British Isles. Within a couple of hours' drive, you'll find three of the world's great golfing regions, each with its own character, and together they make Victoria the ultimate golf holiday destination.

The Sandbelt is the crown jewel — a string of world-class courses through Melbourne's southeastern suburbs including Royal Melbourne, Kingston Heath, Metropolitan and Victoria Golf Club. Built on natural sand-based soil, the Sandbelt is famous for firm, fast fairways, devilish bunkering and greens that reward creativity over brute force. No serious golfer's bucket list is complete without a round here.

Head south to the Mornington Peninsula, where rolling coastal landscapes meet outstanding modern and classic design. Courses like The National, St Andrews Beach and Moonah Links sit among vineyards, beaches and some of the state's best food and wine — making it as much a lifestyle escape as a golf trip.

Cross the bay (or take the scenic drive) to the Bellarine Peninsula, a rising star of Australian golf. With links-style layouts like 13th Beach and Barwon Heads set against ocean views and coastal winds, the Bellarine offers a true seaside golf experience with a relaxed country charm.

Combine all three, and you get an unmatched variety of terrain, design and challenge — heathland, links and parkland golf, all within striking distance of Melbourne. Add in Victoria's renowned wine regions, coastal towns and world-class hospitality, and it's easy to see why golfers travel from around the globe to play here.
