Golf Courses

The Mornington Peninsula is fast gaining a reputation as one of the world’s golfing havens. It is internationally recognized as one of the finest natural golfing regions in Australia, boasting spectacular coastal scenery, all round play and most importantly great courses to play. The Mornington Peninsula is Australia’s answer to the United States’ famous Monterey Peninsula. The Mornington Peninsula is often called ‘The Golf Coast’ and when you visit you will understand why. Like the tight cluster of golf courses in Scotland, Ireland and the Monterey Peninsula, the Mornington Peninsula is truly a unique location.

The Mornington Peninsula is a small geographic area with no less than 20 golf courses. Courses include Portsea and Sorrento established in early 1900’s to modern courses, such as the Greg Norman’s designed Moonah Course at the National Golf Club (opened in 2001).
