Moonah Links Golf Courses

Moonah Links has two wonderful golf courses, the Legends Course and the Open. Both are excellent layouts, always in great shape, and makes for a superb 36 hole day out on the Mornington Peninsula outside Melbourne. The Legends course is the more highly regarded of the two, but not by much, and they both should be played. Nice variety of hole design, some parkland, a nice stretch in the middle of links-style holes, rolling hills, a variety of bunkers throughout, make for a challenging, but generally fair layout by Ross Perrett. At 6,315 metres, the course should be fun, but it won’t be a pushover, the rough is often long grass and Moonah trees, and the greens are large and undulating, firm and fairly fast. The Open course is 6,800 from the back tees, designed by Peter Thompson, links style of course, with heavy bunkering, deep and penal generally costing one a stroke. Greens are large, undulating, and fast. Not really a remarkable hole in memory of the course, but a nice day nonetheless. If you only have time for one, then it would be the Legends.
