Moonah Links Resort Legends Course

Moonah Links is situated an hour's drive south east of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula. It has not one, but two 18-hole courses – the Open and Legends – which are laid out over duneland ideally suited for modern links play with naturally draining soil that enables golf to be played all year round.

The Ross Perrett-designed Legends course may be more forgiving than its neighbour but it still presents a stiff test to golfers of all abilities. It is routed through a more varied landscape than the Open, switching between woodland and open links. Fairways are more generous and greens a little less undulating but bunkering is bold and a good score on the card will have to be earned.

Constructed as “a tribute to past champions who have contributed to the rich history of Australian golf” the Legends course has every hole named after a former winner of the Australian Open, starting with Aaron Baddeley, the winner in 2000, at the 1st hole and ending with the 1904 champion, Michael Scott at the 18th hole.

Legends has five tee placements at each hole which allows the overall length to vary from a comfortable 5,586 yards to a hefty 6,946 yards. This flexibility allows the lower handicapped player to be fully stretched as any course around the 7,000-yard mark cannot be regarded as a pushover!
