Links Golf, Hot Springs & Coastal Luxe
The Mornington Peninsula is a world-class golf destination offering a stunning mix of rugged coastal links, rolling hinterland courses, natural hot springs, and boutique wineries. Just over an hour from Melbourne, this region has more top-100 courses than anywhere else in Australia — making it a must-play for golfers seeking a premium coastal getaway with five-star experiences both on and off the course.
Best Time to Visit?
The best golf conditions are from October to April, when the Mornington climate is cool and dry. Late spring and early autumn provide perfect weather for back-to-back rounds followed by spa sessions, wine tastings, or seaside dining.
TIP: Travel in March or November to enjoy ideal playing conditions, fewer crowds, and shoulder-season rates on accommodation.
Travel & Transport
The Mornington Peninsula is located just 75 minutes from Melbourne CBD, with direct access via car or private group transfers. It’s also easily accessible from the Bellarine Peninsula via the Queenscliff–Sorrento ferry, making it ideal for two-region golf itineraries.
TIP: Ask about self-drive itineraries or ferry-inclusive golf packages that pair Mornington and Bellarine.

TIP: Book well in advance for premium courses like The National and Moonah Links, especially on weekends. Ask about stay-and-play deals that include on-site luxury lodging or spa resorts nearby.
