About this course

Sorrento Golf Club occupies a distinctive coastal position on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, approximately 90 kilometers south of Melbourne. The course sits on elevated terrain overlooking Port Phillip Bay, with the town of Sorrento—one of the peninsula's oldest settlements—providing a historic backdrop. The layout takes advantage of natural undulations and coastal vegetation characteristic of this part of the Victorian coastline, where tea-tree and native scrub frame many holes. The course has evolved over more than a century of play, with the club established in the early 1900s during the period when golf was spreading throughout regional Victoria. The routing works across varied topography, moving between higher ground with bay views and lower-lying areas sheltered by the natural landscape. Prevailing winds from Port Phillip influence play throughout much of the year, adding a strategic element to club selection and shot-making. Sorrento functions as a community club serving both local members and visitors to the Mornington Peninsula, a region known for its concentration of golf courses and its appeal as a recreational destination. The course provides a contrast to some of the peninsula's more heavily trafficked layouts, maintaining a quieter character consistent with its seaside village setting. The club's facilities reflect its long-standing role in the local golfing community, with a clubhouse that serves as a gathering point for members and guests exploring the peninsula's golf offerings.

Getting there

The journey to Sorrento Golf Club begins at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport, followed by a leisurely ninety-minute drive south along the Mornington Peninsula. The route traces Port Phillip Bay's eastern shore, transitioning from Melbourne's outer suburbs into rolling vineyard country and coastal tea-tree scrub as the peninsula narrows. For those arriving by private aircraft, Moorabbin Airport offers a closer alternative, shaving time off the approach to this historic seaside enclave. The final miles wind through Sorrento's heritage streetscape of limestone cottages and Norfolk pines, delivering you to the clifftop grounds where Bass Strait's blue horizon announces your arrival at one of Victoria's oldest and most beautifully sited clubs.
