Played here 27 Jan 2012 and was certainly very impressed. For those planning to visit, make sure your hybrid or 5W is working as you will use it off most tees. The person who said it was a hilly Woodlands was bang on the money.

Firstly those on here saying how tough the walk was might want to do some squat thrusts or something as there are more than enough flat and shady holes to rest on, only the very uphill par 5 6th tests you.

There are certainly a lot of doglegs, but sadly none really with a risk/reward scenario in trying to carry or work it around the corner. Too often a 200m drive to the corner left you with 100m in, and the doglegs were too tight to even try to carry. With some lengthening and tweaking of the doglegs the course would be an absolute gem, as the thick rough always provides the risk to aggressive plays.

Finally only having 2 par 5s let the course down a bit. 9, 10 11 or 12 could probably be tweaked as there is plenty of bush around to move the tees or greens back.

Favourite holes were the 16th (par 3 downhill over a gully (anything left, long or short runs off into Burke and Wills country) and par 5 18th (a good drive up the left opens the chance of carrying the dogleg 70m out to reach in two).

Would definitely go back next time I am down that way.

Played the back nine a few weeks ago. Really good track. Greens are fast and fairways in immaculate condition. Plenty of holes that are nice and open so you can let it rip. You have to a bit of a think on quite a few holes – so don’t always go for the driver. Good bunkering too. Like the 18th – good dog leg par 5.

PROS

• Good value
• Beautiful countryside
• Really fast green
• Plenty of interesting holes
• Not busy

Those who have review this course is absolute accurate. Couple of tough walking upwards holes. From the back white tee, is pretty long and will test your drives.
Much more trees and scrubs off the fairway than Kew but similar to Latrobe. Better cond. than La Trobe but lose out to Kew.
Played in the early afternoon and find too many spike marks near the pins.

Challenging course with little room for error as if you don’t stay on the fairway you are in a natural bush rough that is very difficult to find your ball. The greens are small that makes it hard to land on. the fairways are a delight to hit from but as they are Santa Ana fairways they are very soft to walk on and push you buggy. A good course for ride on carts.

This is a surprising course offering a hilly tight test of golf. There is no opportunity to free your shoulders however as every hole is tree lined by ball disappearing melaleuca forest. The fairways were in magnificent condition and the greens had a good coverage.
One the downside there are many blind tee shots (for a first time player very hard to know) and most holes have a tight dogleg negating any hit over 200m.

Very challenging course with thick rough that eats up any wayward shot. As a result every shot is put under the microscope and position and accuracy are put at a premium. Joined up as a member in December and at $250 is a bargain for 7 day access. Fairways are immaculate, and greens are true but a bit on the slowish side. Greens are very small and 3 of the par fours are over 400 meters. Favourite holes are the 16th (signature hole) 145 meter par three from elevated tee to a sloping green that requires any misses to be right. Also 2nd hole which is a dogleg par 4 that requires a 2nd shot to a eleveated bunkered green and 18th hole which is a 500 meter par 5 that is impossible to reach in 2 as there is a dogleg right at the end. Very hard to play to handicap on this course

Certainly a hidden gem, beautiful fairways and greens, but get a cart as its a bugger to walk

Leongatha Golf Club is a hidden treasure only 10 minutes from Inverloch or Leongatha. It is the ideal golfing solution for visitors to South Gippsland or locals.

It's scenic layout presents a challenging par 70 course with wide fairways flanked by natural bushland that punishes a wayward tee shot. The well maintained greens have subtle contours that will test your putting skills.

Most holes have been converted to Santa Ana fairways making it an excellent all year round course that is a delight to play.

A fully licensed club house and bar caters for the 19th hole and the Friday night bistro is very popular.
