Holidays are a fantastic opportunity to get away and spend some quality time with your kids and partner, while creating memories that last a lifetime. But keen golfers will know that when you lead a busy life and time is precious, holidays are often your best opportunity to get in some serious time on the greens.
Luckily, Mornington Peninsula is jam-packed with fun and interesting things to do for kids and families of all ages, making it the ideal place for a family holiday in Victoria that includes plenty of golfing into the bargain. Here's how you can mix the two for a perfect holiday for everyone.
Get the golfing right
When you're on holiday, you want the golfing to be top quality and second to none. The Open Course and Legends Course are two of the best golf courses in Victoria. A morning game on either course is the best way to swing into a day on holidays, before spending the afternoon with your loved ones.
Of course, if your kids are keen golfers too, they might want to join you on the course, or even improve their game with a lesson from our experts at the Moonah Links Golf Academy.
If the rest of your family aren't keen golfers, they can explore the many sights and fun activities on Mornington Peninsula.
So much to see and do
Mornington Peninsula has a plethora of activities to keep kids of all ages entertained. From water sports at any of the area's brilliant beaches for older kids, to bush walks, gardens and mazes for youngsters there's tonnes for the whole family to do while you're out perfecting your swing.
The Enchanted Adventure Garden, just 15 minutes from Moonah Links, is a veritable treasure trove of family fun. With tube slides, a tree-top canopy walk, extensive gardens, outdoor climbing areas and much more, the kids will still be having time of their lives long after you've sunk the last ball on the 18th hole.
It's all in the planning
When planning a mixed activity holiday like this, it's important to strike a balance in how much time you devote to activities and ensure that everyone's wants and needs are included. Parenting website kidspot.com recommends letting each family member choose at least one activity to do whilst on holiday and making it a rule that everyone joins in. That way, everyone gets to do what they enjoy and no-one feels left out.
