AM Transfer to the Mornington Peninsula
A popular vacation destination, the Mornington Peninsula curves
lazily southwards from Melbourne down Port Phillip Bay to a patchwork
of bushland, pasture, hills, vineyards and national parks. The Mornington
Peninsula is a scenic resort region, rich in wineries, restaurants
and art galleries. Wildlife abounds in its more secret corners,
and birdsong greets you wherever you walk through its well-tended
parks. Even the names of the towns evoke a holiday atmosphere: Dromana
(a superb beach for swimming), Rosebud (a holiday mecca), Sorrento
( a grand old seagoing village) and Red Hill (famous for its monthly
craft markets).
Mornington Peninsula can be favourably compared to some of the
finest Peninsulas in the World. There is an abundance of great golf
courses and stunning coastal views from every corner of the Mornington
Peninsula.
Situated just an hour outside of Melbourne the golf here is simply
awesome. There is a tremendous variety of golf courses available
including links and resort style courses, all are in excellent condition
year round.

as one of the most spectacular courses in the country, and when
new land was acquired nearby back in 1996 to build two links style
courses it looked every bit as good. What has developed from the
initial planning stages is a 54-hole golf mega-complex, featuring
three world class golf courses - the Old National course (designed
by Robert Trent Jones Jnr), the new Moonah course (designed by Greg
Norman) and the Ocean course (designed by Thomson Wolveridge and
Perrett)
