About the course
East Geelong Golf Club was formed at a meeting on 16 July 1923 and officially opened its links on 18 August that year, on land leased from the state with grazing rights for the previous tenants. A clubhouse followed in 1924. The course runs through the Geelong Botanic Gardens area with views over Corio Bay, a short trip from the CBD.
It is a nine-hole course with separate tees for each nine, so 18 holes play differently the second time round. From the black (Limeburners) tees it measures 5393 metres, par 70 for men; white and green tees shorten it.
- 5th: a 414-metre par 4, rated the hardest hole on the course for its length.
- 7th: at 498 metres the longest hole, a par 5 to a narrow green between deep bunkers.
- 13th: the signature par 3 known as "Speinkopf", 193 metres from the back with water down the left, often played across a breeze off the bay.
