Torquay Sands Golf Club

Victoria, Australia

A unique 18-hole links-style championship golf course, The Sands Torquay course is molded into the sand dunes along Victoria's Surf Coast. Designed by Australia's world-ranked professional golfer Stuart Appleby, the course combines the natural landscape of coastal dunes with strategic design principles. The links-style layout takes advantage of the undulating terrain and sandy environment characteristic of the region, offering a challenging yet accessible experience for golfers of all levels. Located at a coastal resort setting, the course provides panoramic views across the golf course and surrounding landscape. The design incorporates dedicated practice facilities including a driving range, allowing golfers to refine their skills. The course welcomes both members and visitors, maintaining a championship standard suitable for competitive play while remaining inclusive for recreational golfers. Its integration with the sand dune environment and modern resort setting distinguishes it as a notable addition to the Australian golf landscape.
