Sandringham Golf Course

World-class Melbourne Sandbelt golf, open to everyone

Sandringham Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-70 sandbelt course in Cheltenham, Victoria, Australia, measuring 4,719 metres. Designed by Mike Cocking and Geoff Ogilvy of OCM Golf and established in 2021, it operates as a daily-fee, public course with 53 mapped bunkers. Notable holes include the 1st (Away), the 2nd (Sand Pit), the 3rd (Southpaw) and the 4th (Down Right Fun). Facilities include a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart and club hire, coaching and parking.

As a shorter sandbelt layout, Sandringham earns a reputation for being accessible and fun rather than long, with players consistently praising how welcoming it is for all abilities. Reviewers regularly highlight the immaculate conditioning and the fast, large greens with plenty of break, which keep the strategic test interesting despite the modest length. The sculpted, sand-filled bunkering is a recurring talking point, and many appreciate the year-round playability even through wet winters. Visitors often mention the easy online booking, helpful pro-shop staff and the extensive practice facilities, including the spacious putting green and driving range. The overall impression is of a humble but high-quality public course that delivers a genuine Melbourne Sandbelt experience.
