About

Lonsdale Links

Read full description

A newly redeveloped golfing gem within the Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula region. Lonsdale Links in Point Lonsdale is a distinctive links experience served up with welcoming, coastal hospitality. Strategically designed to reveal more of itself each time you play, it draws inspiration from trailblazer, Charles Blair Macdonald, and his colleagues Seth Raynor and Charles Banks. Ogilvy Cocking Mead designed the course as a deliberate throwback to an earlier age. The template holes throughout make it a nostalgically challenging yet fun course, unique to Australia.
