The Courses

Moonah Links – The Open Course

Home of the 2003 and 2005 Australian Open, the Open Course at Moonah Links is the first ever 18 holes built and prepared for a national championship. With exceptional viewing platforms for spectators, it is one of the longest courses in Australia, measuring 6783 meters.

“The Open Course is a new experience for Australian golf. Visitors will get a whiff of what top championship play is really like." Peter Thomson - 5 times British Open Champion

Moonah Links Legends Course

In contrast to the Open Course which was purpose built for the Australian Open, the Legends Course is a loop of 18 holes through a variety of landscapes ranging from ancient Moonah woodlands to open links land. The fairways are generous and the putting surfaces gentle, but the bunkering style is bold and wild in appearance.

“At 6,315 meters, the course is fun, but it won't be a pushover. We trust the Legends Course will do justice to the champions it honours and will inspire others to emulate their feats." Ross Perrett - Australasian Golf Design Course Architect

St Andrews Beach Golf Course

Ranked in the top ten courses in Australia, St Andrews Beach Golf Course created the opportunity for world renowned golf course architect Tom Doak to ply his skills for the first time on Australian soil. With a passion for the true ‘links’ style courses of Scotland and Ireland, Doak places a strong emphasis on golfing strategy and short game interest. First and foremost, he believes that real golf is about interesting and exciting holes. The combination of Doak’s design philosophies and the nature of the land itself, provide a golfing experience that is ranked among the best in Australia.

Eagle Ridge Golf Course

For all the beauty of the Eagle Ridge golf course layout and the splendour of our Clubhouse, at the end of the day it is all about your golf game. The championship course caters for all handicaps, with waterfalls, ornamental lakes, cart paths and bunkering in an ideal golf course landscape.
