About the course
The "Augusta of Gippsland" — George Naismith's sandbelt test through native forest
Lang Lang Golf Club is a semi-private, 18-hole sandbelt course in Lang Lang, Victoria, in South Gippsland. Designed by George Naismith and established in 1925, the par-70 layout features narrow couch fairways and fast, true greens, set amid forest landscapes with native wildlife. On-site facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining and cart hire. Visitors are welcome, though some restrictions may apply on competition days.
Often nicknamed the "Augusta of Gippsland," Lang Lang has built a reputation as a strategic, decision-driven course that rewards thoughtful play over raw power. Players consistently praise the layout's mix of dog-legs and varied holes, noting that club selection and accuracy off the tee matter more than length, while the fast greens are a frequent talking point for their pace and trickiness. The sandbelt setting earns regular compliments for its year-round conditioning and well-kept fairways, and the natural forest surrounds add to the appeal. Welcoming pro-shop staff and good food at the clubhouse come up often in feedback, contributing to a relaxed yet respectful atmosphere. A handful of visitors have flagged slow rounds on busy competition days, so it's worth checking ahead, but the overall impression is of an enjoyable and memorable country course.
