Cowes Golf Club

IN: COURSE DIRECTORY | REGION: Phillip Island & Gippsland, VIC | USER RATING: (4.3) | Add A Review

Cowes Golf Course is split into two "nines". The outward nine holes are somewhat shorter, with many fine old eucalypts and an abundance of wildlife spread over the undulating and sandy ground. The front nine can lull a player into a false sense of security with its traditional and enjoyable layout.

One of the unique course features is a pair of par 5’s that bend almost in a semi-circle to the left. The first is No. 3, 478 metres and with a "false corner" on the drive. Only the longest hitters dare take the short cut off the tee which needs a carry of 240 metres across impenetrable ti-tree, followed by a similar second shot.

The course is eminently suitable for players of all ages ad skill levels. It is a picturesque, challenging and extremely enjoyable course.

What a great public golf course. The highlights for me included the par 5 double kinked hole 3, the 18th par 5, the 17th par 3 and a few others.

A course in great condition with only a few nothing holes on the back nine, everything else was enjoyable, and challenging for below reg.

If you holiday at Philip Island, do yourself a favour and take the clubs.

NB: Busy in summer holidays, make a booking first.

Cowes is a demanding course that will test all areas of your game. Longer hitters definitely have an advantage especially on the back 9 with some very long and demanding holes. The 11th (512m Par 5) and 15th (418m Par 4) holes stick out more than others so a par on either hole mean at least one shot gained over the rest of the field. With bunkers strategically placed on nearly every hole your shots need to be accurate otherwise you will spend more time at the "beach" than on the greens. The greens are large which doesn't always guarantee a 2 putt after hitting the green. Having played over 40 courses around Australia, I would definitely advice a trip to Phillip Island to play a round at Cowes.
