Course Setting, Layout & Architecture

Ocean Grove Golf Club offers a complete 18-hole championship layout situated in Ocean Grove within South Australia's Bellarine Peninsula & Geelong. Playing to a par of 66 and measuring 4,620 metres with an official Golf Australia slope rating of 108, the layout demands disciplined club selection and strategic shot placement from the tee.

The course routing takes full advantage of its natural flat river parkland, 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 Ocean Grove 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, producing lush, tightly knit lies and reliable turf cushions that encourage clean iron strikes throughout the season.
