A Sandbelt Experience, For Everyone

Sandy Golf Links delivers a world-class Sandbelt experience to the public.

Redesigned in 2020 by acclaimed architects Mike Cocking and Geoff Ogilvy of OCM Golf, the course showcases the classic traits of Sandbelt golf: firm and fast greens, strategic short par-threes and par-fours, and sculpted bunkering.

Sandy Golf Links is maintained by the elite team behind Royal Melbourne, our neighbour and one of the finest private golf clubs in the world.

SUMMER
7.00AM – 7.00PM

WINTER
7.30AM – 5.30PM

The course is open every day except Christmas day, weather permitting.

Why Play Sandy?

Sandy Golf Links gives the public access to one of the world’s most unique golfing regions – the Melbourne Sandbelt – a small pocket in the south-east known for its firm turf and sandy soils.

Sandy delivers a course experience often reserved for private clubs, but with full public access. The course is immaculately maintained, features a top-tier practice range, and welcomes everyone from beginners to seasoned players. Located in Cheltenham, it’s easy to reach and perfect for mixed groups wanting an accessible, high-quality Sandbelt round.
