About the course
Affordable, picturesque par-70 in the hills of Ballarat East
Mt Xavier Golf Course and Lawn Bowls Club is an 18-hole, par-70 course in Ballarat East, Victoria, Australia, measuring 5007 metres. The course has 8 mapped bunkers and is complemented by a clubhouse. As the name suggests, the site also incorporates a lawn bowls club.
Players consistently describe Mt Xavier as a friendly, welcoming club with notably affordable golf and staff who go out of their way to make visitors feel at home. Though it plays relatively short, reviewers note that elevation changes, narrow fairways and well-guarded greens provide plenty of challenge for golfers of all levels. The undulating, picturesque layout earns frequent praise, as do the greens, which are generally regarded as a highlight. Visitors do mention that the unwatered fairways can play dry and firm through summer, but the prevailing impression is of a relaxed, quiet course with a strong community feel.
