Overview
Why it matters
The National’s Ocean Course, now widely associated with its Gunnamatta identity, is the property’s more wind-brushed coastal counterpoint. It has a lighter, linksy feeling: firmer contours, open sky, and approaches that seem to negotiate with the breeze as much as the architecture.
For a luxury itinerary, Ocean is valuable because it changes the tempo after Moonah. The same club suddenly feels more seaside, more tactical, and more exploratory, making The National a two-course anchor rather than a single stop between Melbourne and the peninsula.
