Mornington Peninsula Golf Tours
Play world-class courses, soak in coastal beauty, and dive into rich local culture.
Mornington Peninsula Golf Packages
Ninety minutes south of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula packs six genuinely excellent courses into a stretch of coastline you could drive end-to-end in under an hour. That concentration is what makes it work as a golf trip – you’re never far from the next tee, and there’s plenty to do between rounds if your group isn’t wall-to-wall golf.
Signature Golf Tours builds custom Peninsula packages around your group’s courses, dates and budget. We handle tee times, accommodation, transfers and dining so you can focus on playing. We’ve been running these trips long enough to know which pairings work, which order to play the courses in, and where to eat afterwards.
Why the Peninsula Works as a Golf Trip
The courses here are genuinely varied. You’ll play clifftop holes at Flinders with Bass Strait stretched out below you, then thread your way through ancient Moonah woodland the next morning. The National’s Moonah Course – currently ranked 11th in Australia – sits on a completely different piece of land to St Andrews Beach, barely 15 minutes down the road, but they feel like different countries.
That variety matters over a multi-day trip. Nobody wants to play the same style four times, of course.
Our packages suit groups from 4 to 40+, from low-markers chasing ranked courses to mates who just want a long weekend away from home. We run both self-guided and fully hosted trips, and we can pair Peninsula rounds with Melbourne Sandbelt courses for a combined tour if you want the full Victorian experience.
The Courses
Four 18-hole courses on one property at Cape Schanck – The Old (Robert Trent Jones Jnr), The Moonah (Greg Norman), The Ocean (Thomson, Wolveridge & Perrett) and Long Island (Alex Russell). The Moonah is the headline act and deservedly so, but the Ocean course is the one that catches people off guard. The clubhouse sits above both layouts with views down to the coast. If you’re only playing one course on the Peninsula, this is the one.
Tony Cashmore’s 27-hole layout in the heart of the Cups region is the best public-access course on the Peninsula, and it’s not particularly close. Three distinct nines spread across 300 acres of natural dune land, maintained to a standard that embarrasses plenty of private clubs. The routing is clever – it uses the elevation changes without beating you up with them.
Two courses were built as the centrepiece of Victoria’s biggest golf tourism development. The Open Course hosted the 2003 Australian Open and plays like it – long, exposed and demanding off the tee. The Legends Course is the one your whole group will enjoy. It winds through Moonah woodland and opens onto links-style terrain, with a pace that’s more forgiving without sacrificing interest. We usually recommend the Legends for day one to ease into the trip.
Tom Doak designed this one, and you can tell. The greens are full of subtle movement – the kind of surfaces where you need to see the shot before you hit it. It’s been ranked as high as third among Australia’s public-access courses. The contouring and hollows around the greens feel more like the British Isles than the Victorian coast. Bring your short game.
Portsea sits right on the edge of Point Nepean National Park, on Santa Ana couch fairways that run fast and firm in summer. The bunkering is strategic rather than penal, and the greens are consistently among the quickest on the Peninsula. It’s a top-100 Australian course that rewards thought over power – a good one for the competitive round in your group.
This is the course people don’t expect. Perched on cliffs above Bass Strait and Westernport Bay, Flinders has views that would justify the green fee on their own. But the layout is genuinely good – tight, well-maintained and open seven days. It’s public access, and it punches harder than most visitors anticipate. A strong addition to any multi-day trip, and a nice change of pace after the bigger-name courses.
Eagle Ridge is the wet-weather insurance policy every Peninsula trip needs. Reticulated fairways and greens mean it drains fast and plays well year-round – useful in a region where mornings can turn quickly. The course has its own character too: waterfalls, lakes and creative bunkering give it a different feel to the links-style layouts elsewhere on the Peninsula. Welcoming to all levels.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN GOLF ACCOMMODATION PACKAGES ON THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA
Not All Golf Accommodation Packages on the Mornington Peninsula Are Built the Same
The Peninsula has no shortage of places to stay, but golf accommodation packages on the Mornington Peninsula vary considerably in what they actually deliver. The difference between a good package and a great one usually comes down to proximity – how close your accommodation is to the courses you’re playing, and whether transfers are included so nobody in your group is stuck driving after a long day on the course.
We’ve spent years working out which properties suit which kinds of groups. Couples tend to prefer the spa- and winery-end of the Peninsula, around Red Hill and Merricks. Larger mates’ groups often do better based closer to Rye or Rosebud, with easy access to The National and The Dunes without backtracking. Corporate groups benefit from self-contained properties with space to gather after the round.
Whatever the format, we match the accommodation to the group – not the other way around.
- Accommodation selected based on your courses, group size and style
- Properties across the full Peninsula, from Cape Schanck to Portsea
- Transfers included so no one in the group needs to drive
- Couples, mates’ trips and corporate groups all catered for

STAY AND PLAY ON THE PENINSULA
Stay and Play Golf Packages on the Mornington Peninsula That Cover Everything
The appeal of a stay-and-play golf package on the Mornington Peninsula lies in its simplicity. You arrive, you play, and everything else – where you sleep, how you get to the course, what you eat after the round – has already been arranged. No coordinating between three different bookings, no one designated as the driver, no spreadsheet keeping track of who owes what.
Our stay-and-play golf packages on the Mornington Peninsula are built as single itineraries. Tee times, accommodation and transfers come as a package, with meals and extras added where your group wants them. We handle the sequencing – which courses in which order, which properties work best for which nights – based on what we know works from running these trips repeatedly.
Peninsula stay-and-play packages typically run for 2 to 4 nights and cover 3 to 5 courses. Shorter formats are available for groups with limited time, and the itinerary can be extended with rounds on the Melbourne Sandbelt for groups wanting a fuller Victorian golf trip.
- Two to four-night packages covering three to five Peninsula courses
- Tee times, accommodation and transfers in a single booking
- Meals, winery visits and hot springs are available as add-ons
- Extendable with Melbourne Sandbelt rounds on request

BEYOND THE GOLF
What Mornington Peninsula Golf Packages Include Off the Course
The Peninsula is one of the few golf destinations in Australia where non-golfers are as well catered for as the players themselves. That matters for mixed groups – partners who don’t play, or members of the group who want a rest day without sitting in a hotel room.
Our Mornington Peninsula golf packages can be built around the course schedule and the broader region simultaneously. The Peninsula hot springs at Fingal are a natural post-round addition. The Red Hill and Merricks wine region is within easy reach of most courses. Point Nepean National Park, the ocean beaches at Sorrento and Portsea, and the food scene along the ocean road all give non-golfers a full program while the players are on course.
For groups where golf is the priority but the Peninsula experience is part of the appeal, we factor all of this in from the start.
- Peninsula hot springs bookings arranged as part of the package
- Red Hill and Merricks cellar door visits available
- Sorrento and Portsea beach access between rounds
- Itineraries designed to work for golfers and non-golfers alike
BUILDING YOUR PACKAGE
How Our Mornington Peninsula Golf Packages Come Together
Every Mornington Peninsula golf package we put together starts with a short conversation – group size, dates, the courses you want to play, and the style of accommodation you’re after. From that, we build a complete itinerary: tee times confirmed, rooms booked, transfers scheduled, and any extras locked in.
For first-time Peninsula visitors, we’ll usually suggest a course order based on the group’s handicap range and what we know plays well across a multi-day trip. For returning golfers who know the region, we work from your list and fill the gaps.
Golf packages on the Mornington Peninsula can be built from scratch or developed around a handful of courses you’ve already decided on. Either way, the planning is handled on our end – so by the time you arrive, the only decision left is which club to hit.
- Tailored itineraries built around your group’s courses and dates
- Course sequencing advice based on group ability and trip length
- All logistics handled from the first enquiry through to the final round
- Returning visitors and first-timers are both well catered for
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a package?
Tee times, accommodation and transfers as standard. Most groups add meals, and we can build in winery visits, hot springs or other Peninsula experiences. Every itinerary is built for your group specifically – there’s no fixed template.
Can you combine Peninsula and Sandbelt courses?
Yes, and it’s one of our most requested itineraries. A typical combined trip runs 4–5 days: a couple of days on the Peninsula, then head north for Royal Melbourne, Kingston Heath or whichever Sandbelt courses your group wants to tackle.
How far from Melbourne?
About 90 minutes to the first courses. We arrange transfers so nobody in your group needs to drive.
Which courses should we play?
Depends on your group. The National Moonah and St Andrews Beach are the two most common picks for serious golfers. The Dunes and Moonah Links Legends work well for mixed-handicap groups. We’ll help you choose based on how many rounds you want and your group’s playing level.
What group sizes do you cater for?
Four to 40+. Corporate groups, mates’ trips, society days – we’ve run them all. Pricing and logistics scale to fit.
How do I book?
Use our quote form or contact page. We’ll ask about your dates, group size, preferred courses and accommodation style, then send through a custom itinerary.
