About 13th Beach Golf Links: Layout, Greens & Visitor Protocol
World-class 36-hole golf resort on the Bellarine Peninsula featuring the Beach Course (designed by Tony Cashmore) and the Creek Course (co-designed with Nick Faldo).
Course Setting, Layout & Architecture
13th Beach Golf Links is an expansive 36-hole golf destination offering multiple course configurations. The multi-course facility caters to golfers of all skill levels, from players seeking championship-length tournament tests to social groups enjoying shorter, companion routings.
The course routing takes full advantage of its natural undulating coastal links, introducing natural elevation changes, tree-lined fairway corridors, and subtle contours that reward well-placed drives and calculated approach angles.
Greens, Fairways & Playing Experience
Putting greens at 13th Beach Golf Links are surfaced with Bentgrass, manicured to provide true-rolling ball speeds and consistent roll across all 18 holes. Subtle green slopes and borrows require thoughtful green-reading and distance control on downhill putts.
Fairways are planted with Santa Ana Couch, producing lush, tightly knit lies and reliable turf cushions that encourage clean iron strikes throughout the season.
Visitor Play, Tee Times & Payment Protocol
13th Beach Golf Links is an unrestricted public golf facility (Tier 1) welcoming non-members every day of the week. Social golfers, casual players, and beginners are all invited to play without needing a club membership or official handicap.
Tee times can be booked online through the official booking portal or by contacting the pro shop at +61 3 5254 2922. Walk-up players are accommodated whenever tee sheets allow, though booking ahead for weekend mornings and peak periods is strongly advised. Green fees are from $110.00 AUD (creek course 18h midweek) up to $145.00 AUD.
Practice Facilities, Equipment & 19th Hole
13th Beach Golf Links is configured as a walking golf course. Pull trolleys and buggies are welcome, and the natural terrain provides an enjoyable, accessible walking round.
Pre-round preparation is supported by a dedicated driving range, a manicured practice putting green, allowing golfers to warm up their swing and dial in green speeds prior to teeing off.
While clubhouse hours are primarily focused around competition days, the course is located within minutes of local Barwon Heads cafes, bakeries, and country pubs for post-round meals and refreshments.
