Upon meeting the Voyages Team in person you immediately liked Harry, Glenn and Gayle, as their enthusiasim and great personalities shone through straight away. Any questions that you had were answered promptly and with ease over the week and the organisation of every part of the weeks events and the venues was handled seamlessly including carrying everyones golf bags to the bus at Natadola which was no mean feat. I give the VG team 10 out of 10 in all areas and look forward to joining them on another great event in the future.

Just back from our golf holiday in Fiji. We couldn’t be more impressed with the hotel, the courses, the organisation of every day’s golf, excursion and island cruise. Every detail was considered and when we got off the plane our transport was waiting and were driven to our resort. The Voyages golf team made sure we were checked in quickly. On the last day at 4:30am the ‘team’ were there again to see us off. That kind act really made an amazing holiday perfect. Thank you for taking care of every detail Steve and sue

Event Information

Golf Week is a celebration of enjoyment. Choose either four rounds of golf or immerse yourself in a week of entertaining non-golf activities suitable for partners and friends who don’t golf. Embrace the spirit of friendly competition with enticing prizes up for grabs.

 

The scoring system is based on the best aggregate Stableford score from three out of four rounds, allowing you to discard your worst round if you encounter a challenging day. This is an informal competition, emphasising camaraderie over professionalism. Participants must observe local course rules and adhere to club dress codes throughout the event.

 

Golf Week was conceived as a hassle-free escape. Designed for a convenient getaway in the Australia/Pacific region, it offers the opportunity to unpack and settle into a week filled with top-notch hospitality, exceptional golf courses, and exploration of some of the world’s finest destinations.

Day 8

Accommodation

Moonah Links Resort

 

The Moonah Links Resort seamlessly weaves modern comfort into the region’s rich history. The resort’s architecture blends well with the coastal landscape, providing guests with a tranquil escape surrounded by nature, in the heart of the Peninsula or ‘The Ninch’ as the locals call it.

 

Originally established in 2003, Moonah Links Resort has become synonymous with golf on the Mornington Peninsula. Its connection to the renowned Legends and Open Courses adds a layer of historical significance to the property. Both courses have hosted national championships over the past two decades of its existence, and it is the best two-course golf resort on the Mornington Peninsula. The golf courses themselves were designed by legends in the sport, with Peter Thomson contributing to the Legends Course and Peter Thomson & Ross Perrett designing the famous Open Course which hosted the Australian Open in 2003 and 2005.

 

As guests explore the resort, they encounter a blend of contemporary design and subtle nods to the Peninsula’s maritime heritage. The lobby, adorned with local artwork, serves as a welcoming space with expansive windows that frame views of the golf courses and surrounding greenery. Accommodation at Moonah Links Resort are designed to complement the natural surroundings. The Open Rooms, where you’ll stay, offer a comfortable retreat after a day exploring the Peninsula’s historical landmarks or partaking in a round of golf. The architecture emphasizes the connection to the outdoors, with private balconies or patios offering tranquility overlooking the first fairway of the Open Course.

 

The Mornington Peninsula itself carries a storied past, from Indigenous communities to European settlement. Today, guests can explore nearby historical sites, vineyards, and coastal trails, gaining a deeper appreciation for the region’s cultural and environmental heritage. This Resort sits at the end of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, and stands as a gateway to popular amenities including Alba Thermal Springs, the seaside town of Sorrento, breweries like St Andrews Beach Breweries, and endless coastlines along the Southern Peninsula.

 

Moonah Links Resort invites guests to not only enjoy world-class golf but also to immerse themselves in the unique history and natural beauty of the Mornington Peninsula. It stands as a testament to the timeless appeal of this coastal region, providing a modern retreat deeply rooted in the area’s rich heritage.
