About Curlewis Golf Club: Layout, Greens & Visitor Protocol
Ranked among Australia's top 50 golf courses, Curlewis is a sandy-base championship course on the Bellarine with couch fairways, firm greens, and a 2-tier Toptracer driving range.
Course Setting, Layout & Architecture
Curlewis Golf Club offers a complete 18-hole championship layout situated in Curlewis within South Australia's Bellarine Peninsula & Geelong. Playing to a par of 72 and measuring 6,150 metres with an official Golf Australia slope rating of 131, the layout demands disciplined club selection and strategic shot placement from the tee.
The course routing takes full advantage of its natural undulating coastal sand base, 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 Curlewis 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
Curlewis 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 5251 1111. 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 $42.00 AUD (9 hole rate) up to $85.00 AUD.
Practice Facilities, Equipment & 19th Hole
Curlewis 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 Curlewis cafes, bakeries, and country pubs for post-round meals and refreshments.
