| The Aussie Golf Ranch is set on pristine coastal duneland at the western end of Settlement Road, 4 kilometres from the centre of Cowes. It is surrounded by our par 3 golf course to the south, coastal beach to the north, and encircled by Saltwater Creek. There is direct access to great coastal bush/beach walking/picnicking and fishing. Accommodation consists of a range of studio apartments and fully self-contained cottages. Garden Studio Apartments: featuring queen size bed, single bed, ensuite, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and private balcony with golf course views. Studio Queen Apartment: featuring queen size bed, private ensuite and external access to huge undercover decking overlooking a stunning cottage garden.

There is ample room for children to play and there is a kids cubby, swing, slides and full size trampoline. Regular guests at the property include native wildlife such as wallabies, echidnas, blue tongue lizards and an abundance of native and migratory birdlife. Seals, dolphins and penguins can be occasionally seen close to Red Rocks beach. Or simply relax and enjoy the magnificent beach sunsets. Enjoy private access to the secluded Red Rocks Bay sandy beach, just a short 100 metre stroll away from your accommodation. The course at the Aussie Golf Ranch has been created to both provide the beginner with an easy walk, while challenging the advanced player. It is perfect for putting, chipping, bunkers and pitching. The Ross Watson Signature Design sees 9 of the most challenging par holes imaginable, with large pot bunkers a feature. Extensive wetlands not only provide all native and migratory birdlife with a home, it can also attract the errant golf ball. To complement this course we have built a 2 club pitch & putt course, ideal for the family or the beginner, as well as offering a test for the advanced. We also have 2 practice chipping greens with bunkers. Visit the "19th hole" and have a drink in the beer garden, cook up a feast on the BBQs or browse for souvenirs in the pro shop. Some visitor comments: "Aussie Golf Ranch rocks!!!" - Horty (December 2008)"Took four kids, three of which are girls under 11 and had a fantastic time. The girls loved the pitch and chip course, their first experience of playing golf. We'll be back" - Jim (January 2009) |
