Orbost Golf Course

Historic 1906 country course on the edge of Orbost, friendly and challenging

Orbost Golf Course is a public course in Orbost, Victoria, established in 1906 as the Snowy River Golf Club. It sits on the edge of town on land once shared with the local Race Club and Show Society, and features 13 mapped bunkers. Facilities include a pro shop and parking, with modest green fees for visitors. Self-contained caravans may park at the course while playing, though there are no powered sites.

With roots stretching back to 1906 and the recent removal of its old pine plantations, the layout combines a long heritage with a refreshed feel. Visitors regularly describe the course as well maintained and picturesque, with a scenic outlook and immaculate grounds that have benefited from recent renovations. Reviewers also note that the generous fairways can be deceptive: the course tends to play longer than it looks and can become surprisingly challenging, particularly when the wind picks up. The welcoming, accommodating staff earn consistent praise, and the modern clubhouse is valued as a venue for functions as well as golf. Overall the reputation is of a friendly, relaxed country club that rewards players who don't underestimate it.
