The success and popularity of the The Dunes is a direct reflection of the course layout.

Built along a stunning stretch of cliff-top land overlooking Bass Strait & Western Port Bays, The Flinders Golf Club welcomes members and visitors 7 days with the Pro Shop open from dawn ‘til dusk.

Flinders is perhaps best described by Peter Thomson AO CBE, ‘Flinders is in a fine family of golf, a distant cousin of Pebble Beach and a relative of Muirfield, that is always best played in wind on salt sprayed turf with a view of the blue sea.’

Competitive green Fees and stunning clubhouse views help make Flinders a great option for golfers of all standards.
