About the course
Real country golf among the Mallee trees, ten minutes from Mildura
Merbein Golf Course is an 18-hole parkland course in Victoria, Australia, located about ten minutes from Mildura. Established in 1926, the club moved to its current site in the 1930s and has long relied on volunteer maintenance. Set among grass greens and Mallee trees, the course is open daily on a daily-fee basis and offers a pro shop and cart hire. A new clubhouse opened in June 2024, designed to host both indoor and outdoor events.
Reviewers consistently describe Merbein as a friendly, welcoming club with a strong social atmosphere, making it a popular stop for travelling golfers exploring the Sunraysia district. The course earns frequent praise for its condition and its distinctive character, with fairways lined by tiny Mallee eucalypts and a reputation for native birdlife. Players note that it is easy to walk yet reasonably challenging, suiting both serious competitors and casual visitors. The new clubhouse has drawn especially warm feedback for hosting functions and events, with staff singled out for their hospitality. Overall, it carries the impression of a genuine country gem worth seeking out.
