Lonsdale Links Golf Club has been completely redesigned and was ranked number 20 in Australia by Golf Australia Magazine in 2022.
Strategically designed to reveal more of itself each time you play, the newly redeveloped course draws inspiration from trailblazer Charles Blair Mcdonald and his colleagues Seth Raynor and Charles Banks. The course was developed as a deliberate throwback to an earlier age. Many of the features of the golf course provide a unique challenge. Keep out of these bunkers!!!

Queenscliff Golf Club provides a unique island setting, residing on Australian Defence Force land. It is surrounded by the natural beauty and tranquility of Swan Bay. The absolute beauty of the course and its’ environs is not lost on Golfers, as it evolves with the time of day, the light, the sea breezes, and the change of seasons. The tranquility is only disturbed by the occasional train whistle from the Bellarine Steam
The big advantage of having a course built on an island made up of drifting sand, is that the course is a true all-weather course. Regardless of heavy rain, you’d need to step into Swan Bay or a water hazard to get your feet wet.
To gain entry, at the Bridge Street Gatehouse, you must provide a valid Driver's License (Digital not accepted). You will need to be early to avoid missing your tee time.
