Mollymook: Beach, Surf Lessons and Golf

Mollymook brings together several different holiday experiences: Mollymook Beach stretches for two kilometres, rocky platforms and rock pools shape the natural experience at Collers Beach, and Mollymook Golf Club has two courses with different numbers of holes. There are also surf lessons at Mollymook Beach for all ages and ability levels. So, when choosing a holiday rental in Mollymook, a good first question is whether your trip will focus mainly on the beach, nature watching, surfing or golf.

Beaches and nature in different locations

Mollymook Beach runs from Bannister Point in the north to the southern headland. Its two-kilometre length gives a clear sense of the extent of this beach. Both ends are patrolled seasonally. When planning your beach days, you can take this information about the two ends and their seasonal patrols into account.

Collers Beach in Mollymook offers a different natural experience. Its rocky platforms have fossils and rock pools that can be explored at low tide. These specific discoveries make it distinct from a stay at long Mollymook Beach. If you are travelling with children who enjoy discovering nature, you could make the rocky platforms and rock pools a separate focus of your trip; exploring them depends on the tide being out. There are also breakwaters at both ends of Collers Beach, including the well-known “Golfy” reef.

Surf lessons at Mollymook Beach

Mollymook Beach Surf School offers lessons right at Mollymook Beach. The programme is for all ages and ability levels. If members of your family vary in age and surfing experience, this broad offering is a useful guide when considering whether surf lessons suit your shared holiday interests.

Two golf courses with different formats

Mollymook Golf Club has the 18-hole Championship Hilltop Course in bushland and the Beachside Course, a 9-hole course with a par of 28. The number of holes alone clearly distinguishes the two options. The Hilltop Course is also described as a championship course and is set in bushland; for the Beachside Course, par 28 is an additional specific detail.

If golf is an important part of your trip, you can consider which course better suits your interests based on these differences: an 18-hole course in bushland, or a nine-hole course with a par of 28. These two options provide different starting points for planning your holiday, without requiring you to limit your golf trip to just one format. Together with the beach, surf lessons and nature watching, golf gives you another way to decide what to focus on during your stay in Mollymook.
