Korumburra Golf Course

Korumburra sits in the South Gippsland hills about 100 kilometres southeast of Melbourne, a rolling dairy country town that serves as the unofficial capital of a region better known for its farmland and the Coal Creek Heritage Village than for golf. The course reflects this honest, agricultural character — a community layout shaped by the land rather than by any grand design ambition, where the pastoral surrounds and the unpretentious local-club atmosphere matter as much as the golf itself.

South Gippsland's terrain gives the course its natural interest. The hills that make this corner of Victoria so visually appealing also create elevation changes and sightlines that a flat layout could never manufacture, and the region's reliable rainfall keeps the turf green well into the warmer months when courses further north are running dry.

For visiting golfers, Korumburra offers the particular pleasure of a genuine country club — the kind of place where members know each other's swings and guests are welcomed into the rhythm of a tight-knit golfing community. It rewards those willing to detour off the South Gippsland Highway.
