All the reviews on here are glowing for this course and all are well deserved. Teed off at 7.30am on a Tuesday morning and was the only person there. However by 8am-8.30am quite a few had turned up to play this outstanding and enjoyable course. Conditions are relatively calm at that time of the morning and on the roadside holes you are reasonably well protected.However, on the seaside holes the wind definetly comes into play and makes club selection and game management an absolute priority. So many great holes on this course and ensure you take a camera. Elevated tees, on several holes, undulating greens and strategically plced bunkering makes this a fabtstic course to play for any standard. Probably as close as you would get to a great links course anywhere on the mainland.

Any golfer who finds themself within driving distance of Port Fairy Links would be crazy not to play a round. This has to be the best value public course in the state if not the country.A true links course with sweeping perfect fairways and large billiard table quality greens. A great test for low and high markers alike.Beware when the wind blows, like any great brittish links course it can break your heart when the weather is against. Great service in the pro shop tops off a very fullfilling golfing experiance.

after reading other ppl’s reviews i had to giv this course a go when i was in the area again, and it didnt let me down! Totally enjoyed my round ere, other than playing well the course was great to play, a bit easier than warnambool but as tough when the wind blows. Fav holes r any where u can see the ocean which is most of them! The par 3’s are awesome especially the 8th a short downhill hole surrounded by bunkers and the 15th a signature links hole. Great value for money deffinatly play here if ur in the area!

The course at Port Fairy is a must play if you are ever in the area. It is a windswept layout exposed to the elements, particularly on the back 9. The holes from the 11th to the 16th are simply spectacular with views out into Bass Strait. I would rate the par 4 14th as one of the great par 4's in Australia. Port Fairy would not be out of place amongst the great links courses situated on the Scottish coastline.

I have played this course a number of times and always want to go back. To play along the sandy fairways, to small greens amongst the dunes and the occasional ti-tree, is a pleasure.
It does not matter that it hasn't got Jack Nicklaus or Greg Norman or even Alister Mackenzie as an architect, this is just pure natural links golf, on a course made as it comes.
I've scored somewhere between 20 and 40 Stableford points depending on how the wind blows. Regardless, it is a golf experience to cherish. The stretch of holes along the beach, from the par-3 11th through to the par-4 16th, is a highlight.

Situated approx. 20 mins out of Warrnambool, this country course is a gem. A links style course providing some spectacular views on the holes running parallel with the beach. A true test of golf when the winds up. If your ever down that way do yourself a favour!

Its a very nice track with quite a few very good holes. The scenery on 12 through 16 is absolutely stunning.
The course is not overly long and it really depends on the wind to give it its spine. It can be a very nasty place to play when the wind blows.
Membership is less than $400 – an absolute snip for the quality of course on offer.
The clubs is very welcoming to visitors. Its well worth the trip.
