The Links at Barwon Heads regularly rates in Australia’s top 30 courses. The nearby Bass Strait and sand dunes along with the weather conditions provide a links reminiscent of famed Scottish links. The undulating terrain, in harmony with the natural features of the land will ensure that you will remember time spent at Barwon Heads.
While not especially long the Links will test golfers of all standards with cleverly positioned hazards, subtle slopes and the greens along with challenging tee positions. The wind ensures that the course rarely plays the same way twice in the one week.
The turf is maintained to the highest standard and in the summer a local species of couch grass dominates the fairways. In the cooler months the species of Poa Annua provides an excellent fairway cover.
greens The greens are predominantly of Poa Annua and are maintained to the highest standard. It is our practice that the greens be cut for guests every morning, so a true and fast surface is virtually assured.

I played here on a Friday and started on the 10th. I had a free run of the course all day long, it was like a dream come true. The course has such a great layout and a high quality feel. The fairways and greens were lush. The greens rolled true and were a good speed, not overly quick. I enjoyed every hole. The dogleg 9th hole was particularly challenging.
As for the attitude problems a previous reviewer mentioned, the professional running the pro shop was really nice to me. He was happy to answer any questions and direct me to the practise facilities. The members playing the course were nice as well. I didn’t go into the clubhouse so I can’t comment about that.
Overall, this really is a special course and I see why it rates as one of the top courses in the country.
