PORTSEA Golf Club's redevelopment means it will boast some of the best accommodation on the Mornington Peninsula.
The multi-million redevelopment was officially announced by television personality and Portsea Golf Club member Eddie McGuire last Tuesday morning, when he also witnessed the initial foundations being laid.
The clubhouse, boasting top facilities and a panoramic view of Port Phillip Bay, will feature 24, 4? star accommodation.
Club president Paul Cannon believes the upgrades at the picturesque course will make it one of the leading courses in Australia.
"With a new clubhouse, members' lounge, world-class facilities and 4? star accommodation rooms, the club will cater for local, interstate and international golfers," he said.
Ranked the No. 32 course in Australia, Portsea has recently employed a number of course design improvements combining strategic bunkering, undulating Santa Ana couch fairways and slick greens.
"The club strives to provide a course that is not only challenging but enjoyable for all ages and standards of golfing ability," Cannon said. "The redevelopment will enable the club to utilise the outstanding facilities for weddings and corporate functions."
A rare opportunity exists to purchase land in this highly sought after location with a number of double-lot packages still available to the public. A limited number of golf club memberships are also available.
