About ST Andrews Beach
About the Golf Course
Located in ‘The Cups’ region of the Mornington Peninsula and metres from the thundering surf of Gunnamatta Beach, St Andrews Beach Golf Course originally opened as an exclusive members course and debuted as the 9th best course in Australia in 2006. It is built on a stunning piece of land that lends itself perfectly to the tradition of the famous links courses of Britain and Ireland and can be compared favourably with the courses in Melbourne’s famous sandbelt region. Internationally renowned golf course architect, Tom Doak is the designer of this classic 18 hole links style course and his aim was to create one of the best golf courses in the world.
As was the case with his other Australian masterpiece – Barnbougle Dunes, Doak’s design philosophies and the nature of the land itself provide a unique golfing experience with generous fairways and truly spectacular greens. Whilst most links style courses conjure up thoughts of strong winds, the natural valleys and trees that make up the landscape of St Andrews Beach offer protection from the elements on many holes, and combined with the soil type of the area you have a great course that can be enjoyed by all players alike 12 months of the year.
Competition play will be returning to St Andrews Beach with regular events being scheduled including The Tom Doak Back Tee Challenge (pdf, 62kb's) which has attracted full fields in the first 2 events.
About the Clubhouse
The rustic clubhouse has had a recent facelift with landscaping of the surrounds, sealing of the top car park and bag drop area and the opening of a new practice putting green. In the near future a practice range will be available for players to warm up whilst the pro shop offers all your golfing accessories and hire equipment including 40 motorised golf carts.
The clubhouse is fully licensed and a food and beverage cart is used on the course of a weekend and midweek where playing numbers allow.
Plans are underway to create a dedicated BBQ area in the coming months for groups looking to make a full day of it and for large groups marquee hire is also available.
