Sandbelt Royalty Meets Urban Style
Melbourne is one of the world’s great golf cities — home to the legendary Sandbelt, a collection of championship courses with global acclaim. Whether you’re chasing bucket-list rounds at Royal Melbourne or exploring boutique layouts in the Yarra Valley, Dandenongs, or Western suburbs, the city offers a unique mix of elite golf, culture, and culinary indulgence — all within striking distance.

The best time for golf in Melbourne is October to April, when the city enjoys its driest, most stable weather. Spring and early autumn are especially popular, combining great golf conditions with Melbourne’s full calendar of festivals and events.

TIP:   Book in March or November to enjoy ideal course conditions with the bonus of city buzz and fewer crowds at top tracks.

Travel & Transport
Melbourne Airport offers connections from all major cities and international hubs. Most Sandbelt courses are located in the southeast suburbs, about 30–40 minutes from the CBD, while regional escapes like the Yarra Valley or Mornington Peninsula are perfect for day trips or overnight extensions.

TIP:   Base yourself in the city or Bayside and ask about transfer-inclusive packages or self-drive add-ons to explore more than one region.

Booking Tee Times
Melbourne’s Sandbelt is home to Australia’s most iconic courses — including Royal Melbourne, Kingston Heath, Metropolitan, and Victoria Golf Club. While many are private, access can be arranged for visiting golfers through curated packages. Public-access standouts like Spring Valley, Woodlands, Sanctuary Lakes, and Yarra Bend offer exceptional rounds without the exclusivity.

TIP:   Tee times at Sandbelt and private clubs should be booked well in advance. Ask us about concierge access or pairing your city stay with a round in the Yarra Valley, Glen Waverley, or Geelong region.
