Situated a 90 minute drive from Melbourne The Dunes Golf Course offers two courses over 150 hectares of spectacular sand hills. The Dunes eighteen hole Championship course proves to be a challenge for a low marker, but still workable for a higher handicap golfer. Opened in 1997 the 6,464 metre, par 72 course was designed by renowned golf course architect Tony Cashmore.
The 9 Hole Cups course is a popular choice with visitors, holiday makers and juniors. It is a par 33 with four par 3's, four par 4's and one par 5. To read a more in depth description of their courses click

golf shop. Open for lunch all year around you can sit and enjoy the scenery with a meal after a cruisy game of golf.
There are a number of tournaments throughout the year that you can either join or come along as a spectator. Including the
Tombstone challenge which is run on a monthly basis as well as other annual competitions, with the
2011 Dunes Medal starting end of November.
