Playing the Melbourne Sandbelt's private clubs
Reviewed 12 November 2026. Prices and counts update automatically from our live listings.
The Melbourne Sandbelt is one of the great concentrations of golf anywhere, and most of its famous courses belong to private members' clubs. Visitors generally can't just book a tee time online. Access usually needs an introduction and depends on each club's visitor policy. That's why a tour is often the easiest way in. Here's which of the 294 tours we compare get you onto which clubs.

Before you book
- Tee times are requests, not guarantees. Clubs hold events and member days, so operators may swap a course.
- Check whether the famous course is guaranteed or optional in the tour's itinerary and price note.
- Bring a handicap certificate if the operator asks. Some clubs require one from visitors.
