The Mornington Peninsula is a boot shaped peninsula located 85 minutes southeast of Melbourne. With a number of exciting golf projects recently finished or under development it is the fastest growing golf region in Victoria (and arguably Australia). The Mornington Peninsula comprises at least ten courses ranked in Australia's Top 100 golf courses. The natural, sandy soil is ideal for golf, with rugged coastal conditions providing golfing experiences akin to the famous links courses of Ireland and Scotland. At the centre of this region lie a number of courses in an area known as 'The Cups'. The National Golf Club is a 54 hole private members' golf club, providing three distinct golfing challenges (Old Course, Moonah Course and Gunnamatta Course), and through GOLFSelect, privileged access for Interstate and International guests.
