Overview of The National Golf Club

The National Golf Club, situated on the scenic Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia, provides one of the country’s premier golf experiences. A convenient drive from Melbourne, the club houses three championship courses, all ranking in Australia’s top 40 for 2010.
