Altona Lakes Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Altona Lakes without getting soaked or scorched?

We recommend aiming for spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May) for ideal conditions. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures and less chance of the strong winds that can make some holes tricky, especially those near the water.

Is Altona Lakes a good course for a casual round, or should I bring my A-game?

Altona Lakes is wonderfully approachable for all skill levels, making it perfect for a relaxed round. While it's not overly long, the water hazards on several holes demand thoughtful shot placement, so don't get complacent.

What's the standout feature or a "must-play" hole at Altona Lakes?

The course truly shines with its integration of the lakes and wetlands, especially on the back nine. We particularly love the par-3 14th; it's a beautiful, challenging shot over water that really tests your nerve and club selection.

How easy is it to get to Altona Lakes from central Melbourne, and do I need a car?

Getting there is pretty straightforward from the city; it's about a 25-minute drive, so a car is definitely the most convenient option. While public transport is possible, it involves a train and then a bus or taxi, which eats into your valuable golf time.

What can I expect from the facilities and overall value at Altona Lakes?

You'll find a well-maintained course offering excellent value for money, especially compared to some of Melbourne's pricier options. The clubhouse is modest but welcoming, and the practice facilities are sufficient for a quick warm-up before your round.
