The National Golf Club is located on Victoria 's spectacular Mornington Peninsula , a short drive to the south of Melbourne . The Club has 3 exceptional and highly regarded golf courses, the Old designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr, The Moonah designed by Greg Norman and The Ocean designed by Thomson, Wolveridge & Perrett ensuring that it ranks as the best piece of golf real estate in the country.

Many astute judges rate the Old as the best course and one of the most challenging and spectacular in the world. This is a hilly course combining amazing coastal views, challenging ball carries and slick, undulating putting surfaces into a test of golf not previously seen in Australia . A number of holes provide spectacular views with the standout hole in terms of beauty being the 7th hole. A par 3 of 135 meters, it plays over a cavernous ravine to a large green which runs from left to right. The backdrop to this hole is the coastline of the Mornington Peninsula heading down to Portsea. There is really only 1 place to hit the ball...and that is on the green. The course comprises a number of holes with ocean views, a number of "inland holes" and all are framed by the natural tee tree and Moonah trees which are common on this part of the Mornington Peninsula . When you play at The National you generally want to hit the ball straight as errant shots are severely punished. The Old course at The National is a very enjoyable test of golf....if you are hitting the ball straight, if the wind is not blowing and if you are putting well!
