Members and green fee players are advised that Trentham will be coring and sanding greens on Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th November. This is after the Trentham Plate on Sunday 17th November.

The course will be closed on these two days to allow the work to be undertaken. We apologise for the inconvenience to players, but coring is necessary for long-term green health. We are proud of the excellent quality of our greens, among the best in country Victoria, and good maintenance is the key to them remaining that way.

The competition on Thursday 21st November will be held as usual, and if previous years are any guide, within a week or two the greens should be well recovered. 

At Trentham we offer a range of options to get into and keep playing golf. While we have full memberships for those who prefer the wonderful option of belonging to a club, unlike many clubs this is not all we offer. We also have a number of options for social golfers, summer golfers, or those who would just like green fee discounts for playing regularly.

All our memberships are very affordable and provide a GolfLink handicap with a Trentham GolfLink number and personal insurance.

Green fee passes provide very affordable, year-round social play at Trentham (please note that passes carry no handicap or insurance).

The membership year at Trentham for full memberships is March 1 to February 28 (pro rata fees available). Access, Lifestyle memberships and green fee passes are valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
