About Warrnambool Golf Club: Layout, Greens & Visitor Protocol

Historic Shipwreck Coast championship layout and the junior home club of PGA Tour champion Marc Leishman, carved through coastal tea-tree dunes.

Course Setting, Layout & Architecture

Warrnambool Golf Club offers a complete 18-hole championship layout situated in Warrnambool within South Australia's Western District & Shipwreck Coast. Playing to a par of 72 and measuring 6,046 metres with an official Golf Australia slope rating of 127, 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, 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 Warrnambool 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.
