The Barwon Heads Golf Club
About this course
The Barwon Heads Golf Club operates two courses on the Bellarine Peninsula in coastal Victoria, approximately 100 kilometers southwest of Melbourne. The Par 3 course complements the club's main championship layout and serves as both a practice facility and a standalone nine-hole experience. Situated near the mouth of the Barwon River where it meets Bass Strait, the property occupies naturally undulating terrain characteristic of Victoria's coastal golf landscapes. The Par 3 layout provides a compact routing that reflects the region's links-influenced topography, with native grasses and coastal vegetation framing the holes. These shorter courses at Australian seaside clubs typically feature elevation changes, prevailing winds off the water, and firm playing conditions during summer months. The course functions as an accessible option for members and visitors seeking a quicker round or short game practice, while also introducing beginners to the club's coastal golf environment. Barwon Heads itself has a long golfing history dating to the early twentieth century, and the club maintains a community-oriented membership that includes both local residents and Melbourne-area golfers drawn to the Bellarine Peninsula's holiday atmosphere. The Par 3 course integrates into the club's broader facilities, which include the main eighteen-hole course that has hosted Victorian regional competitions. The setting near Barwon Heads township and the river mouth provides views across the coastal landscape that defines this part of Victoria's golf coast.

Getting there
The journey to The Barwon Heads Golf Club begins at Melbourne's Avalon Airport or the larger Melbourne Airport (MEL), followed by a leisurely drive of roughly an hour and a quarter southwest along the Princes Freeway and Bellarine Highway. As the urban sprawl recedes, the landscape softens into rolling farmland before yielding to glimpses of Bass Strait's moody coastline. The final approach threads through the quiet seaside village of Barwon Heads, where weathered Norfolk pines and salt-scrubbed cottages give way to the club's unassuming entrance - perched on a bluff where the Barwon River meets the sea, offering a windswept welcome befitting one of Victoria's most understated coastal sanctuaries.
