Perched on the northern headland of Torquay nestled against the dunes and at the start of the world famous Great Ocean Road, The Sands Resort is a sleek and modern premium golf resort destination. The resort looks out to spectacular views of the surrounding golf course, coastal dunes and Surf Coast, the perfect setting for a short break escape. The Sands Torquay golf course is a unique 18-hole links style championship golf course which has been molded into the sand dunes. Designed by Australia’s very own world ranked professional golfer, Stuart Appleby, this course offers a championship challenge for the low handicapper and an enjoyable challenge for the weekend golfer. With up to five tee positions on every hole and over 100 carefully positioned bunkers, it certainly lives up to its name and is a testament to the architectural commitment and passion of Stuart Appleby. Our Cafe and Bar is one of the region’s most desired dining destinations for locals and visitors and is a must when you stay with us. The Surf Coast region provides an abundance of fresh food and gourmet wines constantly inspiring our talented chefs. The Sands Resort is the ideal place to begin the 200 kilometre journey along The Great Ocean Road or explore the town centre of Torquay, an easy two and half kilometre walk from the resort. The sandy beaches are an easy stroll from The Sands and will lead you to Victoria’s most famous surf beach, Bells Beach. The region is also renowned for its boutique wineries, restaurants, colourful cafes, galleries, fishing, surfing and scenic tours along the coast.
