Strathallan Golf Club has been active as a private Club since 1957 when it was established by the staff and patients of the hospitals of Mont Park, Larundel and Gresswell.  In fact the land on which it still exists today was once the grazing and farming areas of the hospital complexes.

Today, it still operates as a not-for-profit organisation, managed and operated by member volunteers, enabling the Club to offer low-cost membership fees and competitive Green Fee charges to the general public. 

The course has a slightly undulating layout set amongst a natural wooded grassland environment that features a number of large River Red Gum trees, some reputedly reported to be over 100 of years old. The course is flanked on two sides by a Habitat Link that consists of areas of natural vegetation and home for a number of native birds and animals and creatures that include kangaroos, echidnas and reptiles.  The Habitat Link provides a natural corridor for wildlife and stretches from the Gresswell Forest to the Latrobe Wildlife Sanctuary and Gresswell Lakes areas.

The course itself, consists of 9 separate greens with 2 separate teeing grounds allocated to each hole that combines to provide the golfer with 18 different holes.

The course has a total length of 5011 metres with a Par of 68 (34 for each nine) and a rating of 67 for men and a length of 4887 metres with a Par of 70 and a rating of 72 for women.

The slope rating for the Men's course is 117 and 118 for the Women's course.

These measurements are somewhat shorter than the average course but the course still provides plenty of challenges with its small greens, narrow fairways and strategically placed bunkers and other natural hazards.
