Foster Golf Course

A short, friendly parkland gem near Wilsons Promontory

Foster Golf Course is a public parkland course in Foster, Victoria, set roughly two hours south-east of Melbourne and a short drive from the Wilsons Promontory coast. It plays to a par of 71 over a relatively short layout of about 4,118 metres, with flat to undulating fairways, small greens and eight mapped bunkers. Facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining, parking, plus cart and club hire. The club notes the course is short in length but still challenging for golfers of all levels.

Often described by visitors as a welcoming country "hidden gem", Foster has a reputation for a relaxed, friendly experience both on the course and in the clubhouse. The compact layout rewards accuracy, with players noting narrow fairways and small greens that keep the challenge alive despite the modest length, and some finding the back-nine greens running with a bit of pace. The pro-shop and course staff are consistently praised as accommodating, making the club an easy choice for social groups and first-time visitors. Reviewers also speak warmly of the licensed bistro, where freshly prepared meals and a bright, welcoming atmosphere round out the day. Combined with its proximity to Wilsons Promontory, it earns a strong impression as a worthwhile stop for a day trip or weekend away.
