Curlewis Golf Club

Curlewis, the much-loved course of The Bellarine, was formally established on this site and officially opened for play in 1970. The 157 acres (60 hectare) site was purchased by the East Geelong Golf Club in 1947. Development at the time was restricted due to the lack of water however a firm base of couch grass was established. Since the introduction of town water, improvements have continued over the years. Throughout its development, the course has maintained a links-type character with a minimum of trees, undulating fairways, challenging bunkers and large contoured greens. To play Curlewis is to fall in love with a truly exceptional golf course.

Located just an hour from Melbourne and 15 minutes from Geelong, with stunning vistas across to Corio Bay.

Purchased in July 2015, by renowned local winery and cidery business operators, Lyndsay and David Sharp, Curlewis has rocketed up the course rankings after the new owners began investing heavily in improving the course and clubhouse.

Since that time Curlewis has been recognised as the most innovative club in Australia and was honoured to receive the inaugural “Australian Golf Digest Club Excellence Award” for their contemporary and forward-thinking approach to golf.

The Curlewis course was always highly regarded, but the new owner’s investment has seen it now being recognised as one of Golf Australia's Top 50 Australian Public Access Courses and ranked in the top four courses in Western Victoria.
