About the course
Classic Vern Morcom parkland set in magnificent South Gippsland bush
Leongatha Golf Club is a public, 18-hole parkland course in Victoria, Australia, set midway between Inverloch and Leongatha. Established in 1961, it was designed by H. Vernon Morcom and is rated among Australia's top 100 public-access courses. The layout runs across terrain from hilly to gently rolling, with wide santa-ana couch fairways flanked by natural bushland and beautifully maintained, subtly contoured greens. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart and club hire, and parking.
Visitors consistently describe Leongatha as a hidden gem, praising both the warm country hospitality and the genuinely welcoming staff and members. The course earns repeated compliments for its excellent conditioning, with reviewers singling out the lush, carpet-like fairways and the soft, well-kept greens. Players of all levels find the layout deceptively challenging and interesting, noting that the difficulty adds to rather than detracts from the experience. The practice facilities are regularly highlighted as a standout, and many golfers say the setting amid natural bush gives the round a sense of quiet seclusion. The overall reputation is that of a friendly, well-presented course well worth a stop on any Gippsland golf trip.
