holes, ensures that all shots must be carefully thought out to register a good score for the 18 holes.

and physical challenge to all players.

beachside suburb.
Grab a bite at one of the many atmospheric cafes overlooking the beach or enjoy
browsing through the many seaside shops.
After lunch, play a round at the Kooyonga Golf Club. Pull buggy included.
The layout is testing but fair. An abundance of natural timber defines the narrow,
undulating fairways culminating in well protected greens whose pace and subtle slopes require skill
and demand respect. Kooyonga enjoys a current Australian ranking of 14 and this truly is testament
to the quality of the golf course.

Melbourne. Upon arrival, collect your vehicle and drive to the Royal Melbourne Golf Club for a

streets of Melbourne.

Day 6
Tee off at Kingston Heath Golf Club after breakfast.
Pull buggy included
Built on only 125 hectares, it's a perfectly manicured course. The bunkering and clever
use of dips and hollows visually fools the non observant golfer. It is a course with multiple layers of
complexity and its wonder is that the more one plays it, the greater your appreciation for its
sophistication becomes.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the vibrant waterfront atmosphere from Federation
Square to Southbank Boulevard and then on to the world famous Crown Casino where you can
enjoy dinner at one of the numerous restaurants.

stylish accommodation from which to explore the delights of the Mornington Peninsula Region.

cart included.
The course offers more than a casual stroll in the outdoors. It is a mighty and ferocious
test of golfing ability, the likes of which even the top pro's only occasionally experience. In terms
of difficulty, a club-handicapped player would merit an extra eight strokes assistance to return a net
par score, yet the course has great flexibility.
Day 8
Tee off at the Moonah Links Legends Course after breakfast.
The course is a loop of 18 holes that generally follows the valleys through a variety of
landscapes ranging from ancient Moonah woodlands to open links land. The fairways are generous
and the putting surfaces gentle, but the bunkering style is bold and wild in appearance. Motorised
cart included.
After golf, meet up with your viticulture guide for a personalised tour of the Mornington
Peninsula wineries. There is an impressive range of varietals grown across the relatively small
region, everything from Tempranillo to Gewarztraminer, but the recognised strengths of this cool
climate, slow-ripening region remains the chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot gris.
Day 9
Head for the fairways of the National Golf Club Moonah Course for your first round of golf
for the day. Pull buggy included.
