About the course
Private coastal links winding through native bushland above Port Phillip Bay
Sorrento Golf Club is a private 18-hole links course in Sorrento on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, playing to a par of 71 over 5,574 metres. Established in 1907, it was designed by J.D.A. Scott and later redesigned in 1972 by Peter Thomson and Mike Wolveridge. The course features 64 mapped bunkers across undulating coastal terrain with bent grass greens. Facilities include a driving range, pro shop, restaurant and dining, and a clubhouse.
Set amid the coastal beauty of the Mornington Peninsula, Sorrento is widely regarded as a standout among the region's courses, combining a spectacular seaside setting with a strategic links layout. Visitors consistently praise the course conditioning, with greens described as rolling fast and true, and the wider site as immaculately presented. Generous landing zones give way to forced carries, sharp doglegs and precise bunkering that reward accuracy. The impressive clubhouse draws frequent compliments too, from its high ceilings and thoughtful design to the open fire in cooler months and a memorable post-round meal. With a long member wait list and limited visitor access, it carries the reputation of a sought-after, must-play destination.

A gentle opening hole to begin the round. Drive across the corner of the fairway bunker to leave a short approach to a green sloping right to left. The green can be reached from the tee but is difficult to hold and water lurks beyond.
