Barwon Heads Golf Club rated the second highest public access golf course on the Australian mainland

The prestigious Barwon Heads Golf Club has jumped up from 7th to 6th place in the Golf Australia Magazine bi-annual ranking of Australia’s Top 100 Public Access Courses. (January 2017 issue). The improvement is significant as two new courses, Cape Wickham Links and Ocean Dunes, both in King Island, have debuted at 1st and 4th respectively.

This makes The Barwon Heads Golf Club the second highest rated public access golf course on the Australian mainland.

The editors commented that Barwon Heads was “swimming against the flow here by moving up one spot when several in the top-10 have been forced down a few spots. Recently completed redesign work on the back nine by Neil Crafter and Paul Mogford has enhanced the overall experience of a round here.”

The Club’s neighbouring course Thirteenth Beach Golf Links was also listed in the Top 10.

Conferences and events held in the heritage-listed Clubhouse are delivered with pride and style – and with accommodation available upstairs, packages can be designed with overnight stays that incorporate a round of golf prior to, or after, your successful event.
