Maffra GC

Welcome to Maffra Golf Club

Maffra is just a few short kilometres off the Princes Highway 2 ½ hours east of Melbourne.
The Maffra Golf Club is a par 72, 6056 metre course for men and par 74, 5117 metre course for women. The Maffra Golf Club is located in an undulating rural setting, with a peaceful farming vista leading to the distant Great Dividing Range. The course consists of lush fairways, fast greens and mature trees. Maffra is a fine challenge for the serious golfer as well as enjoyable course for the beginner or once a year golfer.

Visitors are most welcome to join us in our weekly competitions and our big events through the year.
The club moved to its present site in 1950 and provides a test for the low handicapper and once a year golfer. The course plays as  par 72, 6056 metres for men and par 74, 5117 metres for women. The course has become known for its well maintained fairways and beautiful greens which run as true and as fast as anything in the Melbourne area.

The course is relatively flat with only a few moderate slopes to deal with and buggies are available for those who prefer to drive the course over walking. Bird life abounds with a large range of native birds easily visible. The course is available for group and corporate bookings as well as the casual green fee paying player. All the information you need to find out more about the course including fees, memberships and special events are on the pages of this site so have a look around and we hope to see you soon at what we consider our special piece of golfing real estate.

The road out of Melbourne is mostly dual carriageway with a 110km/h speed limit. Take the Monash Freeway and make use of the newly opened Pakenham By-pass which cuts around 15 minutes from your journey to Gippsland. Stopping off points include Yarragon and Trafalgar which are both right on the Highway. Once through Rosedale follow the Maffra signs off the Princes Highway. The course is on Fulton Road on the far side of town as you approach it.

From the East you can call in at any number of stops including Orbost, Lakes Entrance, Bruthen and Bairnsdale before coming to
Stratford where the Maffra road is signposted once through the town. Take the Maffra-Stratford Road and Fultons Road and the course are sign posted on your right just before you enter Maffra township.

For those of you touring through Gippsland the Golf Club has 9 powered sites and ample facilities for the "caravaner", so why not stay and play with us for a few days or use the course site as a base for exploring other areas of central Gippsland? Phone the Club or drop a note on the 'contact' page and we'll be in touch.

Maffra is a picturesque town blessed with excellent sporting facilities and a dynamic shopping strip. The main street is beautifully laid out with trees lining the thoroughfare. Banks, hotels, pokie clubs, bakeries, chemists and a newsagency can all be found within walking distance of your accommodation.

The local tourism industry is growing and there are lots of things to do during your stay. Main points of interest are the Gipspland Vehicle Collection with an ever changing display of vintage cars, the Sugar Beet Museum detailing Maffra’s history before dairying and Lake Glenmaggie where the Lake Glenmaggie Yacht Club holds its races.

20 minutes from Maffra lies Sale, a larger town with shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cinema and a recently renovated (Dec 07) leisure centre. From here you are just a short drive from the 90 Mile Beach.

If looking for an interesting drive, head up towards Licola, Victoria's only privately owned town and home to the Lions Club Village. The area has recently had a bad run wth bushfires and floods, but despite that is a fascinating place to see and observe both the power of nature and also its ability to regenerate and change the landscape.

You can keep an eye on the weather through the Bureau's Radar Web Site or the forecastfor central Gippsland. Just because it's raining where you are doesn't mean that its raining in Maffra so have a look and plan your visit.
