About this course

Southern Golf Club, located in Keysborough in Melbourne's southeastern suburbs, is a members' club that has served the local golfing community since its establishment in the mid-20th century. The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the broader Keysborough area, where residential and light industrial development has grown around the original golf layout. The club operates as a traditional suburban facility, providing regular competition golf and social activities for its membership base. The layout reflects the practical design approach common to many Australian suburban courses developed during its era, with tree-lined fairways and water hazards that come into play on several holes. The course features a mix of par threes, fours, and fives that test accuracy and course management rather than pure length. Mature trees frame many holes, and the property includes areas of native vegetation that add character to the setting. Southern Golf Club maintains an active competition calendar for members across various skill levels and age groups, including weekly club events and inter-club matches with neighboring courses in the region. The clubhouse provides dining and social facilities that support the club's community-oriented culture. Like many suburban Melbourne clubs, Southern balances the traditions of members' golf with the practical realities of maintaining a course in an increasingly developed area, offering accessible golf to residents of the southeastern suburbs.

Getting there

The journey to Southern Golf Club begins at Melbourne Airport (MEL), approximately 50 kilometers northwest of the course, followed by a straightforward hour's drive southeast through Melbourne's outer suburbs. The route traces the city's sprawl along the Princes Freeway before peeling off into Keysborough, where industrial parks and residential estates gradually yield to the club's surprisingly tranquil sandbelt setting. For those arriving by private aircraft, Moorabbin Airport offers a closer alternative just 15 minutes north, serving as the preferred gateway for Melbourne's southeastern golf corridor. The final turn onto Hutton Road delivers you to Southern's understated entrance, where the hum of the city fades and the timeless rhythms of sandbelt golf quietly take hold.
