The Melbourne Sandbelt is one of the great course clusters, with coastal golf a short drive further south.
Australia holds one of the finest concentrations of courses anywhere in the Melbourne Sandbelt, where a group of celebrated layouts sit within a short radius on sandy soil that gives firm turf and fast greens all year. An hour further south, the Mornington Peninsula adds coastal courses with a different, more exposed character. Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Queensland and Tasmania all support their own golf travel, and Tasmania in particular has become a destination for coastal links style golf. Distances between cities are large, so most trips concentrate on one region. Many of the best Sandbelt courses are private, and visitor access typically depends on advance arrangement, so plan tee times before booking flights.
Best time to play: Spring and autumn are ideal in Melbourne; the Sandbelt plays well year round.
