About The National (Old)

Cape Schanck, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria

A dramatic links routed over and through heaving coastal sand dunes roughly 80 metres above the sea, with deceptively wide fairways and fast, undulating greens.

History

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, the course opened in 1988 as the founding layout of The National Golf Club.

Photos from the round will appear after Ritchie plays.
