This is a fresh course that asks very different questions than the other courses in and around Ballarat. The elevation changes and tight gaps are designed to challenge you and help you develop as a player. There is limited signage and the teepads are currently under construction on a couple holes, so it's recommended that you use uDisc to locate the teepads at the moment. The 9 hole loop is designed to get you from the Club House, to the forest, and back to the Club house. The 18 hole layout will take you into the forest. I'd recommend the following loops in addition to the standard 18. 1/2 in repeat until tired. 1/2/3/4/5/6/19 for an after work round 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/17/18, for when you have a bit of time, but not enough for 18. You can also finish 14 and head up the path to 11 and do that again. Or even finish 11 and head over to 8.

This is an awesome course still in the making, when all the tee pads and signage is finished it will be great. Look forward to what it looks like in the future.

Mt Xavier has had quickly become my favorite course 18 basket/teepad course in Vic. There is so much variety in every hole, and each one demands or offers something different. The use of elevation is phenomenal, though makes using a cart a bit a bush bash mission. The blend of open fairways and tight wooden lines is amazing, there's some big bomb anny lines, super fun downhill ace runs, placement shot fairways, and I gotta say- yeeting a backhand roller on hole 16 is so much fun!! Would love to see 1-2 par 5s on this close so I'm crossing my fingers for an alternate layout, either a different pin layout or different tee pad- or both! I would come to any and all fundraiser events to make this happen!! But this course, as is, has to be top 5 in Australia if not top 3. Well done to the course designers and everyone who pitched in to make the course ready for TGCC '26

Played the course for the first time today and has taken over Crater Lakes as my favourite course in Australia. Loved the technical lines and challenges the course provides.
@charlduplessis
Amazing course. The amount of work put in so far is clearly visible. This will be world class once it is complete.
@haileycoopdisc
Very promising challenging course with interesting lines and a lot of variety
@gooberau
Beautiful setting and so much potential. Loved it. The local golfers were very friendly and intrigued. I had to throw a couple of exhibition shots and was given a cart ride down and back to retrieve my discs. Holes 2, 5, 6, 7 are fantastic. Hole 9 is a little funky but understandable given the layout.

This is a very technical and somewhat challenging course on it's way to becoming one of the best the country has to offer. There are options off the tee, tricky greens, and mix of wide open fairways and tight wooded holes. Plenty of putters and midranges are needed in the wooded holes. Use uDisc to navigate around the course and keep an eye out for golfers
@clubby
signage for next holes need attention and bigger signs. be better have concrete tee areas as vandles have discard some of the hole maps and tee areas.
@katabatic
Outstanding. With new tee pads potentially the best course in Vic/SA/WA. Most enjoyable course I’ve played.

Great technical layout. Bring your patience
@lukesch
Super fun course, heaps of elevation shots. A few rough edges that need to be fixed like muddy teepads and dodgy brick steps but heaps of potential otherwise.
@buddybo
World class course
@mikevan
Forest holes are great. Hole 9 scrub clean out as difficult to judge carry and for shorter throwers.
@simonf
Great new course, great shot variety. Lots of potential for further development.
@jarrodob
New course, so tees are a bit hard to find. Pretty technical, but a good work out.

Teepads are average. I like a few trees to be removed so I can forehand some holes. It taught me how to backhand better.
