This course is great. I definitely would have to pop in for a round if i am traveling along the bellarine peninsula. It has nice lush fairways with a few doglegs and i enjoyed putting on the quick greens. Before you come to Curlewis practice your bunker shots because they can be extremly difficult.

Played here recently, great layout, friendly staff and a real challenge ( especially on a windy day). major problem was that you did not have to get too far in to the rough on the sides of the fairways for trouble. Grass was fairly long( about 300mm) which made finding your ball and then getting it out a bit tricky. Well worth playing gain . But make sure you’re a straight hitter

Selecting your driver from the tee on the first hole (and you will) your best choice, if you have a slice on demand, is to point left and fade your drive around the overhanging tree. if done well you will cut enough off the distance to have a comfortable short iron onto an elevated green that has some fantastic undulations and a rather nice bunker protecting the front left. AVOID IT! That is basically how the front nine plays, very creative design and never a boring moment. The par 3's you will want to hit in one because almost anywhere else can make getting par difficult. The back nine is a lot flatter but no less interesting. The bank nine has a slightly different stlye to the front with good use of what few hills there are. Not a single boring par 3 on the course and some very well thought out par 4's. The super dogleg on the front nine is a superb par 5 with a tight landing zone on the main corner. If you nail that landing zone you will be about 160 from the flag meaning even your 3rd shot is a not a gimme. All in all this course was very enjoyable and i think most who play it will be back

Curlewis on the road from Geelong to Portarlington is a surprise to people from out-side the area but not within. The original design is from Vern Morcom from that famous family involved on the sandbelt, and my understanding is that the Club under Mike Clayton are returning the feel of that early design. A undulating front nine with a flatter rear nine but a challenge to all. Good coverage of winter grass during the cooler months and couch coverage is good on tees fairways and surrounds. If anyone plays the course for the first time it will bring you back. They have a Par three tourney in November 18 par threea makes for a good day to see the course and enjoy, the Golf week is in early October quick greens over ten foot goood fun

If one has the golf course guide book you can play this course for 17 bucks mid week as much as you want. The green are big and true and fairways are wide inviting the driver to be used. There are good variety in the holes and the bunkering is well placed to enhance the challenge. The horseshoe shaped 6th is 520m and into the south wind is a real challenge. The 8th is one of the best short par 3s with an elevated green to hit and the wind nearly always going across you. Miss this green and it is hard to get down in two. The front nine is more interesting to play as it is more undulating and the nines could be swapped and the highway noise on a few holes can be annoying, but overall people wont be disappointed playing this fine course.

What an excellent course, well worth the drive from Melbourne.

Course layout was very good and good use of fairway bunkers too. Grass coverage was very good, the bunkers were consistant; very thin on sand which I prefer however many may may not.

Greens putted true, not the fastest but all consistant.

An enjoyable course that will appeal to many levels, not a monsterous layout but still plenty of challenges. Excellent value for money also.

Curlewis really is hidden gem on the Bellarine Peninsula. It plays very long from the back markers, and it is a very enjoyable and challenging lay out. Adult Green Fees are about $30, but students can get on for $12. Great value. A must play for everyone.
