Welcome To The New Bellarine Peninsula Golf Course
Welcome to Lonsdale Links! The Bellarine Peninsula golf course has been redesigned as a deliberate throwback to an earlier age. Featuring an exciting layout unique for Australia, the Bellarine Peninsula golf course winds around salt marshes and wetlands and spreads out across coastal dunes beside the picturesque Lake Victoria. The par-70 course boasts bouncy fairways, strong winds and challenging green complexes, making Lonsdale Links ideal for even the most accomplished player.
The intention was to create a strategic course, which reveals more of itself each time you play golf Bellarine Peninsula. Drawing inspiration from trailblazer, Charles Blair Macdonald, and his colleagues Seth Raynor and Charles Banks, course architects Ogilvy Cocking Mead (OCM) designed the Bellarine golf course as a deliberate throwback with template holes featuring throughout. Elements of these templates and the holes that inspired them can be found in the design at Lonsdale Links, including the opening hole ‘Alps’, which commands sweeping views over Lake Victoria and encourages players to take on the dune off the tee to enter the first square green. Other inspired template holes include Biarritz, Plateau, Eden, Leven, Punchbowl, Thumbprint, Redan and Road.
With School Holidays upon us, Mulligans will be open for play! Our 6 Hole Par 3 course will be open all day on Monday 20th and Monday 27th of September, with tee times available from 9.30am.
Visitors welcome - $10 for Adults and $5 for Kids.
Call the Golf Shop to book ⛳️
We’re open everyday day for coffees, cold drinks, sandwiches and snacks! Walk in or Takeaway ☕️🥪
*Please note due to current restrictions we are only allowed 10 people sitting inside and 20 outside.
Hole 9 – Leven
The Leven template was first conceived at Lundin Links on Scotland’s Fife coast. A short 4 played to a green positioned on the edge of a dune that runs up the left of the hole.
Our version features the same dune along the left and an out of bound fence down the right which must be played close to in order to have the best angle into the green.

No golf during lockdown didn't stop Member Andy McDonough from getting a Hole in One on the 12th on Saturday!

Hole 8 – Drop Off
The fairway at the 8th tips off severely from left to right and down towards a natural pond hence the name “drop off”. The smallish green is often best suited to a running approach and care is needed to keep the ball under the hole. Anything above the pin makes for a difficult two putt.

We're back from tomorrow! ⛳
The Victorian Government has announced that Regional Victoria will be released from lockdown tonight and therefore we can re-open the golf course and clubhouse from tomorrow. We will return to the level of restrictions that we had prior to this lockdown which includes:
😷 Facemasks inside and outside.
📱 Mandatory QR code check in.
🍽 Density limits of 1 per 4 square metres meaning reduced seating inside.
Our restaurant will be back open for and lunch and dinner from Wednesday (snack menu for lunch tomorrow as usual) but please note that French Night will not run this week, our regular Bistro Menu will be available.
We look forward to seeing you soon and are thinking of our Melbourne friends still in lockdown and hoping they can join us again soon 🤞
Lockdown 6.0 has just been announced commencing from 8:00pm tonight. 😫 With this announcement, unfortunately we must close the golf course and clubhouse after tonight's dinner service for at least the next 7 days.
It's a frustrating time for all concerned. We hope that we can re-open on the 13th of August. The phone will be unattended during this time. Any enquiries can be sent to the Reception email - admin@lonsdalelinks.com.au
We hope to see you again soon.
