Axedale Golf Club

Situated along the picturesque banks of the Campaspe River in the township of Axedale, the golf club is a hidden gem in the area.

The course at Axedale Golf Club may not be long, but it presents a challenge that requires accuracy off the tee. Golfers who are not straight off the tee will face consequences on their scorecard. The course features several signature holes, including two stunning par fives along the river and the unique 15th hole with its sunken green. The greens and fairways are well-maintained, thanks to a computerised pumping and reticulation system that draws river water for irrigation.

This ensures excellent playing conditions throughout the year and has received praise from professional golfers who have played here.

Golf has a long history in Axedale, with records dating back to the 1890s. The Axedale Golf Club was formed in 1937 by eight founding members, who initially played on a course with sandscrape holes. Despite challenges such as frequent flooding of the course, the club continued to compete on winter weekends until 1956. In 1973, the club was reformed and converted to an 18-hole course with grass greens in 1996.

Today, the club boasts a membership of over 450 players and is recognised as one of the best courses in the Bendigo District.
