300 km NW of Melbourne / 3 km S of Horsham.
From the centre of Horsham follow the A8 Western Highway south, direction Ballarat. After 2 km turn right into Golf Course Road (at junction with A200 Hamilton road). After 3 km golf entrance is on your right.
Horsham Golf Club: Roughly halfway between Melbourne and Adelaide on the inland route (A8), Horsham is home to a very pleasant and testing golf course. Tall, mature pines and eucalyptus, as well as many other tree varieties, line the often tightish fairways, on this gently undulating and well-maintained parkland layout.
On holes where the pines are much in evidence, you might be forgiven for thinking you are playing Horsham in Surrey rather than Horsham, Victoria, such is the classic nature of this excellent golf course. Stylish bunkering flanks several fairways and provides threatening defences to the top quality greens.
Some of the best holes come on the back-nine, which benefits from a little more undulation than is found on the front-nine. The 12th is an excellent doglegging par-4, soon followed by two snaking back-to-back par-5s, the 14th and 15th.
If the tightish fairways are not narrowed by trees, then springy semi-rough often lies in wait for any wayward drives. Overall, a quiet, pleasant and natural setting for one of Victoria's best out-of-town, parkland layouts.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; more restricted on weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available for hire.

The Horsham Golf Club's emblem is the beautiful Blue Wren (sometimes known as the Fairy Wren), which is seen around the golf course, together with a wide variety of other wildlife that include kangaroos and wallabies. When in its breeding plumage, the male Blue Wren has a striking bright blue forehead, ear coverts, mantle, and tail, with a black mask and black or dark blue throat.

Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
