About Us

Portsea Golf Club is a renowned golf course, consistently ranked in Australia's Top 50 and is located on the Mornington Peninsula, overlooking Port Phillip Bay and the Bass Strait. The fast-draining fairways allow perfect playing conditions all year. With naturally undulating couch fairways the course is as much fun as it is challenging and charming.

The Club has recently installed an automated irrigation system and desalination plants to progress its strategy for water security and efficiency.
