Lorne Golf Course

Hilly, ocean-view 9-holer where kangaroos roam the wide fairways

Lorne Golf Course is a private 9-hole course in Lorne, Victoria, Australia, established in 1954. It plays to a par of 30 over 2,630 metres, with 15 mapped bunkers and notably sloped fairways and greens. Set in a resort-style nature setting, it offers spectacular views, and facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart hire and club hire.

Players consistently describe this as a beautiful, scenic spot, with reviewers repeatedly singling out the spectacular views — including ocean vistas from the club room. The undulating layout is widely regarded as a genuine challenge: the sloping fairways and greens, combined with hilly terrain, mean visitors are often advised to prepare for a workout, while the wide fairways still make it approachable for both experienced and casual golfers. Conditioning earns broadly positive impressions, though some note the turf can be patchy or leaf-strewn at times. The resort-style natural surroundings draw frequent praise too, with kangaroos and kookaburras adding to the experience, and the welcoming, attentive staff are a recurring highlight in the course's reputation.
