The National Golf Club is one of the World’s best golfing facilities, with access to 72 holes of golf, 3 courses on site and 1 course a 30-minute drive away, it doesn’t get any better. The National Golf Club is a private members club that allows guests through invites by current members, external group play on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and reciprocal rights with select clubs, so playing there is easy enough to do with any degree of forward thinking. The Golf Club’s three onsite courses were designed by the greats: The Old Course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr, the Moonah Course by Greg Norman, and what was the old Ocean Course was designed by Peter Thomson & Mike Wolveridge, although it has been refurbished and redesigned by Tom Doak in 2019 and named The Gunnamatta Course. The offsite Long Island Golf Course was designed in 1938 by Oliver Gordon. The extensive onsite facilities at The National Golf Club are available to use if you have a green fee on the day.
The Long island Golf Course is situated much closer to Melbourne and offers members of The National Golf Club who live in Melbourne a much easier-to-access golf course. The Long Island Golf Club, designed by Oliver Gordon in 1938, is considered by those who have played it, a hidden gem amongst Melbourne’s famous Sandbelt golf courses. It is situated near Frankston on the southern end of the Sandbelt region and Northern end of the Mornington Peninsula. The club merged with The National Golf Club in 2015 and has since enjoyed more success with more players populating the golf course.
The Long Island course itself, being on the Sandbelt region of Melbourne, is relatively flat. The challenges to the golfer are therefore in the subtle undulations on greens and bunkering styles typical of the iconic Sandbelt region like Kingston Heath. The tree-lined holes also make full use of Long Island’s natural topography that lacks the views of the other three National Golf Club courses. The course offers a combination of bunker laden par-3 holes, mid-to-long par-4 holes, and a number of par-5 holes which have doglegs leaning both ways. The gum trees make the course typically Australian, whilst the bunker designs make the Long Island course typically Melbourne. It’s a great test of golf and the perfect way to round off a 4-course, 72-hole Golf Club; The National.
Practice facilities at the Long Island Golf Club come in the form of a putting green located right next to the clubhouse and a driving range that operates every day of the week. The clubhouse was built in the Tudor style and has the usual amenities such as a Pro shop, restaurant open for breakfast and lunch, lockers and changing rooms.
