About the course
Tom Doak links rolling through dunes near Gunnamatta Beach
Saint Andrews Beach Golf Club is a public 18-hole links course at St Andrews Beach on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, near Gunnamatta Beach. Designed by Tom Doak and established in 2006, it features 14 mapped bunkers and weaves across coastal links land in the style of courses in the UK and Ireland. On-site facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart hire and club hire.
Reviewers consistently describe St Andrews Beach as a stunning and rewarding links test, with many calling it well worth the trek to the peninsula. Players note generous room off the tee but genuinely demanding approaches—blind shots, tight lines between hazards and steep run-offs—while the par 5s often play as true three-shot holes into the prevailing wind. The setting earns frequent praise, with the natural dunescape, scenery and roaming kangaroos adding to the experience of walking between holes. The course is widely regarded as well maintained and in great condition, and the pro-shop staff draw warm mentions; the greens are sometimes noted as a touch slower than surrounding courses. Overall it carries a strong reputation as a challenging yet enjoyable pure-golf experience.
