Barwon Heads Golf Club

Barwon Heads Golf Club offers a complete 18-hole championship layout situated in Barwon Heads within South Australia's Bellarine Peninsula & Geelong. Playing to a par of 70 and measuring 5,895 metres with an official Golf Australia slope rating of 129, the layout demands disciplined club selection and strategic shot placement from the tee.

The course routing takes full advantage of its natural undulating coastal dunes (classic links), introducing natural elevation changes, tree-lined fairway corridors, and subtle contours that reward well-placed drives and calculated approach angles.

Putting greens at Barwon Heads Golf Club 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 Couch / Fescue, producing lush, tightly knit lies and reliable turf cushions that encourage clean iron strikes throughout the season.

As a Tier 2 semi-private club, Barwon Heads Golf Club balances an active membership with broad visitor access. Non-member golfers are warmly invited to play during designated public visitor tee-time windows throughout the week.

Public play is generally open on midweek mornings and afternoons, Sunday fields, and twilight periods outside of core member competitions (typically Wednesdays and Saturday mornings). Reserving a tee time 2 to 4 days ahead through the pro shop on +61 3 5255 6255 is recommended. Green fees are from $175.00 AUD (visitor 18 hole low) up to $220.00 AUD.

Barwon Heads Golf Club 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.
