Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Friday revealed a three-step plan for the country and sport to return to post-coronavirus normality.

Under step one, sports requiring 10 or less people in the same location are free to resume.

Organised community sports have been earmarked for a step two comeback but may be hindered by rules which will restrict gatherings to no more than 20 people.

But with the final decision resting with the Victorian government, clubs are sweating on Premier Daniel Andrews' decision next week.

Andrews refused to speculate on Friday as Victoria's state of emergency was still in effect. It will expire on Monday.

Several clubs - including Warrnambool Bowls Club, Warrnambool Golf Club and Port Fairy Golf Links - are hopeful of an imminent return to play.

Warrnambool Bowls Club bowls manager Paul O'Donnell conceded it was "a bit of a dampener" the Andrews Government had not given community sport a clearer direction on Friday.

He is unsure when bowls will get the green light.

"Andrews seems to be loving not putting a date on anything and as he said in his statement, he's going to more or less pick the pieces from stage one that the Prime Minister put out so you don't know which way he'll go," O'Donnell said.

"As far as the club or bowlers go, it's a matter of wait and see. I wouldn't be putting anything on paper as far as plans go at this stage which is disappointing."

O'Donnell said Bowls Australia had protocols in place when play returned in Victoria.

Players are already back on the greens in Western Australia and South Australia.

"I'd say it would be 10 per green, social distancing of course, strict cleanliness as far as disinfecting kitties would come into it," he said.

"As far as the club goes, it (getting small groups playing) would be a small step in the overall operation of it but it gives us something to get members back again.

"It will be a small step but a good step because people have been calling out for it."

Warrnambool Golf Club manager Ashlee Scott said the club was primed for the sport's return.

"We've got our ears to the floor listening for any news," she said.

"We had a meeting this week with our committee and (club professional Craig Bonney) confirming some of the procedures we have in place if we're given the green light.

"They're very similar to what we had in place prior the course's closure (in March).

"We're just waiting for clarification like how many people are allowed out at any one time."

Scott said the club was keen to welcome its members back to the course. She said a return to play would ease financial pressures and generate revenue.

Port Fairy Golf Links professional Anthony Warburton said the club, like Warrnambool, had plans in place for an expected return.

"It just depends on what Daniel Andrews decides he wants to do," he said.

"We would still have the clubhouse closed and run from a couple of windows and have just members playing in twos and in 10-minute intervals.

"We might have 15 to 20 players on at one time but there will be no serious gatherings."

He said it was vital to have people "out playing golf and being able to do something they want to do to get out of the house".

"We'll have local members only. We won't have visitors until possibly September," he said. "We might have the first week of people just playing golf and the second week we might have competition each day with a limit of 60 to 70 people allowed on the course per day."
