The mighty sand-belt region of Melbourne offers some of the best and challenging golf courses in the world. Courses such as Royal Melbourne, Kingston Heath and Victoria are all rated as world Top 100 courses and offer year round playability. Getting on these prestigious courses is the tricky part, as they are private golf clubs, however some access is provided through reciprocal and golf tour operator arrangements. Alternatively, a trip to the Mornington Peninsula just a one hour drive away is a great golfing experience at many top notch public access courses. The National Golf Club at Cape Schanck has three excellent golf courses. The ‘Moonah’ (Greg Norman), the ‘Old Course’ (Robert Trent Jones Jnr.) and the ‘Ocean’ (Thomson, Wolveridge & Perrett), are three magnificently designed, world-class, championship courses currently ranked within the Top 100 courses in Australia. The Dunes and St Andrews Beach are also “must play” Mornington Peninsula championship courses with top designers such as Tom Doak and Tony Cashmore.
