Golf in the East Gippsland Shire Council area

From the Gippsland Lakes through the Snowy River country to Mallacoota near the New South Wales border, East Gippsland mixes lakeside parkland, high-country nines and coastal holiday golf, and all six courses take public players. Bairnsdale Golf Club at Eagle Point is the pick, a highly regarded country parkland layout whose rolling back nine looks out over the lakes, with firm, fast greens in summer. Lakes Entrance is a full 18 of natural undulations, water and wind, while South Pines at Lindenow South is a volunteer-run 18 that rewards careful shot-making around tight doglegs. Orbost (1906) is a long-standing country club that plays longer than it looks, Omeo (1908) is a friendly nine-holer up in the high country, and Mallacoota has been building a new Michael Henderson layout since 2023, with kangaroos and wallabies for company.
