About Ocean Grove Golf Club: Layout, Greens & Visitor Protocol
Friendly, picturesque 18-hole golf course located directly beside the Barwon River estuary, offering scenic water holes and easy walking.
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.
Visitor Play, Tee Times & Payment Protocol
Ocean Grove 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 5255 2601. Walk-up players are accommodated whenever tee sheets allow, though booking ahead for weekend mornings and peak periods is strongly advised.

Practice Facilities, Equipment & 19th Hole
Ocean Grove 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.
