Ocean Dunes Golf Course King Island

My first but certainly not last experience on this wonderful layout which provided a great challenge and some of the most amazing coastline views anywhere. The Jones family offer EXCEPTIONAL welcome and service which, in my view, is by far the best I have received in any travel situation. For the first time player I would recommend touring the course (by cart) before actually playing and this is despite being provided with a hole by hole guide which is excellent in its own right. We played twice in much different weather conditions - pray for sunshine and light winds😂 as it’s a little more enjoyable

Ocean Dunes is a very challenging golf course set on the beautiful eastern coastline of King Island. I have just turned 60 and decided to walk the course. I’m glad I did. Cam (Head Pro) and his wife, Amanda, were very welcoming. They were very friendly and helpful. Weather conditions were dry with 35km/h westerly winds which is the main prevailing wind off the Bass Strait in these parts. I’m a 10 handicap and played off the second hardest tees (Blue) scoring 100. The front nine were particularly testing especially into the wind. If you miss the fairway, you are into thick fescue and you will do well to find your ball. Not only that, you have venomous snakes to contend with as well. Two were seen on the day. I lost four balls on the F9 and scored 58. It is really important to have a conservative strategy and be prepared to play some of the par 4s as a par 5 especially in to the wind. Keeping the ball flight low is key around here. Low punch shots and stingers are the order of the day. The greens were firm and consistent if a little on the slow side. The wind not only moved the ball in the air, but also on the greens too. Another tip, if you do find your ball in the rough, consider taking an unplayable. It is that tough to move your ball forward. Green fees are AU$205 and this course is worth every penny. It’s a real challenge and I suggest that you accept the odd high score here and there, and just enjoy the day. The B9 is much easier with wider fairways and some large greens. I scored 42 which I am really happy about. There are no members and I only saw three other groups all day. And this was a Saturday. Clean and place to a club handle is currently in place. The course has recently been taken over by a Melbourne consortium and the future is looking promising with a new clubhouse underway ready for 2026. Bring plenty of balls because you will lose them. Take your time and appreciate the beauty of this impressive golf course.

Would give it 10 stars if I could. Have never received customer service like we did at Ocean Dunes. The family who run the club could not be more helpful and welcoming. They did everything they could to make our day as good as they could. That’s all before you get onto the amazing golf course. It’s a real test of your golf game. The greens were amazing to putt on and rolled very true. Could not recommend playing Ocean Dunes enough.

Played in Feb 2026 and seriously dissapointed. Only the tee's & greens are being watered, so the fairways were all dead. For a few holes this made it hard to be 100% confident to know the line off the tees. Our group lost count of the bad bounces, kicks and excessive run due to lack of grass on the fairways. We were all still charged a full green fee and given a $30 voucher on arrival in recognition of the condition of the course. The staff were all great & friendly, but the facilities pretty basic, as they are building a new club house. If you are planning on visiting, I'd highly recommend calling in advance to check the condition of the course. We wished we'd stayed another day at Cape Wickham, as the dunes in its current state isn't a scratch on Cape Wickham.

Amazing experience, great layout . Greens were amazing . It was a great test of golf . It’s a special part of the world that should be experienced by everyone. All the staff made us feel very welcome. Cameron was amazing , so friendly and accomodating.. He was great to deal with and made the experience extra special. . They are building a new club house , they had a temp clubhouse set up . This didn’t take away from the experience. I have traveled a lot for golf and this will easily be a top ten Golf course once the fairway watering is sorted and the club house is built . Thanks Cameron we will definitely be back .

Definitely a tough course, but a great challenge and very enjoyable. Had a cracking day out, with fantastic ocean views that made it even better. Cameron was awesome and made me feel welcome straight away. Cheers — will be back.

Played a round at Ocean Dunes King Island. The course was a great design with challenging holes and great views. The girls in the proshop couldnt have been more helpful. They went next level to ensure our golfing expirence was memorable by facilitating last minute changes and requests for our group due to weather. Extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you, will definitely be back.

Ocean Dunes Golf Club is an absolute bucket-list experience. The team at Ocean Dunes helped us organise a seamless 3-day golf trip to King Island, including accommodation, van hire, and green fees with carts — nothing was too hard. From the very start, the organisation was effortless and stress-free. Amanda greeted us at Ocean Dunes on Saturday morning and immediately made us feel incredibly welcome. Our group of six had the course entirely to ourselves for the day, playing in what can only be described as properly wild King Island conditions (50-60km/h winds) — challenging, raw, and unforgettable. Amanda kicked us off with a warm welcome, a bucket of range balls, and personally showed us to the first tee. At the turn, and again after the round, she made sure we were well fed and well looked after. Dealing with the entire Ocean Dunes team was incredibly easy, professional, and genuinely friendly. They went above and beyond to make the day special, and it’s a golfing experience our group will remember for a lifetime. Look forward to returning one day and staying at the onsite accommodation once it’s completed. If you’re considering a golf trip to King Island, Ocean Dunes is an absolute must.
