Ballan Golf Course

Picturesque parkland country course on the banks of the Werribee River

Ballan Golf Course is an 18-hole, par 66 parkland course in Ballan, Victoria, Australia, measuring 4,268 metres. Established in 1924, it is a public course set on the banks of the Werribee River. Facilities include a putting green, pro shop, coaching and buggy hire. Coaching clinics are run during the week for those looking to take up the game.

Players consistently describe Ballan as a welcoming "hidden gem" with a friendly, casual atmosphere and a clubhouse where the locals make newcomers feel at home. The tree-lined layout is often praised for its variety: a front nine with notable elevation winding through creeks and trees, and a flatter, parkland-style back nine. Reviewers regularly highlight the scenic views from several holes and note that the course, despite its native grass and tight layout, is kept in well-maintained, green condition. The reputation is of a relaxed, enjoyable country round that suits casual golfers and improvers alike.
