Golf Course Boneo 4.5 h

Eagle Ridge Golf Course

Eagle Ridge is the Peninsula's hinterland option - a parkland-feel 18-hole course set among gum trees and dams in the Boneo valley, away from the coastal exposure of the Cape Schanck courses. That makes it the better choice on windy days and in mid-winter when the links courses are playing hard. It is also consistently one of the better-value rounds on the Peninsula. The course is public-access, bookings are easy, and the pricing sits well below St Andrews Beach, Moonah Links, and The Dunes. Architecturally less celebrated than the top public courses, but the conditioning is good, the layout is varied, and for a casual or mixed-skill round it punches above its price. Practice facilities are solid. The clubhouse restaurant is decent - worth a post-round lunch if you're not planning to drive up to Red Hill. Best used as the second round on a 36-hole weekend, or as the round you book when the wind forecast is over 30 knots.

Greens Bush - Two Bays Section

The Greens Bush section of the Two Bays Walking Track is the most rewarding bushwalking segment the Peninsula has - 8.9 kilometres one-way through the largest remnant bushland on the Peninsula, with ancient grasstrees (some more than two hundred years old), pockets of dense tea-tree alive with birds, fern gullies, and open eucalypt forest interrupted only by the sound of the occasional kangaroo. This is where the walking really slows down. The canopy closes overhead in places, the understory birds work the tea-tree continuously, and the track passes through a landscape that looks more or less as it would have before European settlement. Genuinely beautiful, and far quieter than the coastal sections of the same trail. Walk it one-way with a car shuffle, or do a shorter circuit from the Greens Bush Carpark off Baldrys Road. Best in autumn and spring.

View over Port Phillip Bay from the Arthurs Seat summit circuit

Summit Circuit Walk - Arthurs Seat

The Summit Circuit is the ideal short walk for most Peninsula visitors who want the Arthurs Seat view without committing to an all-day trek. A 1.8-kilometre loop at the top of the mountain that guides you past the major points of interest - Seawinds Gardens, the Matthew Flinders Cairn, the William Ricketts sculptures, bay-to-ocean lookouts at multiple points, and the Seawinds Nursery Indigenous Garden - all within an easy hour of walking. The view from the summit is the entire Peninsula in one sweep: Port Phillip Bay on one side, the ridge and the ocean country on the other. On a clear day you can see as far as the You Yangs to the west and the city of Melbourne to the north. Drive or take the Arthurs Seat Eagle (chairlift) to the top. Walk the full circuit. Take a coffee from the summit kiosk on the way back.
