National Golf Course - Moonah Course

One of The National Golf Club’s 3 courses, Moonah is laid out in spectacular dunes country at Cape Schanck in Victoria.  Hundreds of hours were spent finding the best natural holes and constructing them in a way that was sympathetic with the surrounding wilderness.

Ranked number 6 in Australia by both Australian Golf Digest and Golf Australia magazines, 2010.

“The Moonah Course is the pick of the club’s three tracks and one of the world’s most exciting modern creations.” 

“Aside from the number of impressive golf holes, the key to Moonah’s success as a big dune links are its outstanding bunkers and greens.”

“The bunkering is Moonah’s most distinctive feature.  The small traps were first excavated quite roughly before the edges, and parts of the faces, were seeded with fescues to provide a wild, jagged and ungroomed appearance, not dissimilar to the fearsome hazards at Royal County Down.” Planet Golf, 2007

Client Testimonial - During my period as a Board Member of the National Golf Club during the expansion from one to three courses I spent many hours with Bob Harrison who was the “on the ground “ course designer for Greg Norman in Australia.  I enjoyed this time with Bob at a personal level and also came to admire what a wonderful feel he had for the land and creating so many great holes on our Moonah layout which has regularly been voted in the top ten courses in Australia.
 
I have also been lucky enough to have played many of the other courses Bob has been involved in bringing to fruition and this has cemented my view that he has a great gift for course design.
