This means major championship winner Minjee Lee will be playing alongside her brother Min Woo Lee, both battling it out for their respective trophies. Plus, the Australian All Abilities Championship will be held in tandem with the Australian Open, showcasing some of the world\u2019s best all-abilities players, like Australia\u2019s home-grown talent

And while you could easily tee off at any number of courses on a day trip from Melbourne, a plethora of things to do \u2013 including a wealth of 19th-hole experiences \u2013 warrants an overnight stay, or longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A noteworthy course is St Andrews Beach Golf Course. It&#8217;s a links-style course, so it sprawls across sandy land near the coast but has been carefully designed around natural valleys and native trees to shield its greens from harsh seaside conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another course to bookmark is RACV Cape Schanck Resort, an immaculately manicured 18-hole, par-70 championship golf course. Here, rounds of golf can go back-to-back with treatments at the day spa and feasts at the fine dining restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget the 19th hole. Unwind with a <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/search\/experiences?destinationId=le_77a4a0e5a3bdfee80c9eff1420165977&amp;destinationName=Mornington+Peninsula\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blissful bathing experience<\/a> at Alba Thermal Springs &amp; Spa, sinking into the waters across 22 mineral-rich indoor and outdoor pools. Round off your day with a meal and local wine at the&nbsp;onsite restaurant Thyme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bellarine Peninsula &amp; Surf Coast&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Home to the famous Great Ocean Road and some of Victoria\u2019s best breaks, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast&#8217;s natural beauty is the perfect canvas for legendary golfing layouts. Plus, this side of Port Phillip Bay tends to be slightly quieter than its Mornington Peninsula counterpart, meaning tee-off times can be less competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/13thbeachgolf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">13<sup>th<\/sup> Beach Golf Lodges<\/a> boasts two picturesque courses, the Creek and Beach Course. Each day, one course is set aside for members only and the other is opened to visitors \u2013 meaning those who book an overnight or two-night stay at the onsite accommodation have the option to play on both fairways. A recent addition to 13th Beach Golf Lodges is a nine-hole Short Course, available seven days a week. The accommodation options include a compact-yet-chic studio or a larger two-bedroom suite, ideal if you&#8217;re travelling with fellow golfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Another of the Surf Coast&#8217;s premier courses is located at The Sands Torquay. The 18-hole championship golf course was originally designed by Stuart Appleby \u2013 it&#8217;s home to a grass tee driving range and excellent practice facilities. Staying at the onsite accommodation includes access to the course; guests must otherwise register as a public member in order to book a tee-off time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other courses worth taking a swing at include Eagle Ridge Golf Course, Curlewis Golf Club, Lonsdale Links and The Links at Barwon Heads, which is one of Australia\u2019s highest-ranked public-access courses, as noted in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ausgolf.com.au\/golf-course-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Golf Course Guide<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter where you test your putts and chips, end your game with a well-deserved 19th hole at The Dunes in Ocean Grove for drinks and oysters enjoyed on the ocean\u2019s doorstep. If the weather isn\u2019t permitting, seek out the cottage-like cellar door of Jack Rabbit Vineyard for award-winning cool climate wines or Bellarine Gin&#8217;s renovated farm shed, The Whiskery, for small-batch spirits. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yarra Valley&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/au\/search?destinationName=Victoria&amp;destinationId=le_5781a2637b476d781eb3134581b32044&amp;adults=2&amp;children=none&amp;pages=2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/169566-56-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Golfing in the Yarra Valley is a rare joy - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-30281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/169566-56-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/169566-56-350x233.png 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/169566-56-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/169566-56.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/search?destinationName=Yarra+Valley&amp;destinationId=le_e6fd3b368ff273183a74d471a141d7c3&amp;adults=2&amp;children=none&amp;flexibleWithDate=true&amp;pages=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yarra Valley<\/a>, the golf courses are on par with the wine. This picture-perfect pocket is just a quick 40-minute drive from Melbourne, making it the ideal quick fairway getaway. Looking for a 19th hole straight out of the gate? Turn swings into sips at world-class wineries and cellar doors, such as those at St Huberts, Helen and Joey Estate and Balgownie Estate.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Heritage Golf &amp; Country Club, two sprawling, member-only 18-hole courses unfold, set against the backdrop of Australia\u2019s Great Dividing Range. Choose between a traditional links-style course, The Henley (designed by Tony Cashmore), or a more modern parkland-style course, St John, the work of Jack Nicklaus. Members of the club are permitted to bring guests to the courses, as well as the club&#8217;s driving range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking to explore the Yarra Valley more on their golfing getaway, RACV Healesville Country Club &amp; Resort promises not only a 19-hole golf course designed by professional golfer Michael Clayton, but also a day spa, tennis court and pool. If you\u2019re pushed for time between your tension-melting massage and mountain-view dinner, there\u2019s also an express four-hole course featuring par 3 holes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Murray &amp;
