About Cheltenham Golf Club: Layout, Greens & Visitor Protocol
Scenic 9-hole Sandbelt golf course with 18 tee placements located directly alongside Victoria Golf Club, offering affordable Sandbelt golf to visitors 7 days a week.
Course Setting, Layout & Architecture
Cheltenham Golf Club features a picturesque 9-hole layout equipped with alternate tee positions that create an 18-hole composite round. This format offers a flexible, time-friendly test for local players and travelling golfers seeking a brisk 90-minute nine or a full 18-hole walk.
The course routing takes full advantage of its natural undulating sandy heathland, 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 Cheltenham 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 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
Cheltenham Golf Club 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 9583 6419. 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 $28.00 AUD (9 hole rate) up to $48.00 AUD.
Practice Facilities, Equipment & 19th Hole
Cheltenham 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 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 Cheltenham cafes, bakeries, and country pubs for post-round meals and refreshments.
