Many golf resorts around Australia offer luxury
accommodation and facilities that include
the opportunity to play on international
standard golf courses that rival the world's
best. Resorts are built in outstanding
natural locations that range from hillside
courses overlooking golden beaches to
fairways winding beside rivers and through
beautiful bushland.
Two golf clubs compete for the title of being the
oldest clubs in the country: the Australian Golf Club in Sydney formed in 1882, and the
Royal Melbourne Club formed in 1891. Today
there are over 1500 courses ranging from the
manicured elegance of of older established
courses to the arid, nine hole layouts in
the outback with greens of oiled sand to the
routed course predominantly through
dramatically undulating dunes land within a
stone's throw of the famous Indian Ocean.
The golf courses have contours and intricacies
related to the Australian terrain and in
some places you may encounter grazing
kangaroos or you may be distracted by the
singing birds, have to circumnavigate a
wombat's hole or keep an eye out for any
croc coming out of the water hazard.
It is easy and relatively inexpensive to
play golf in Australia. There are private,
resort and public/municipal golf courses
scattered across the country, each with club
facilities. Play golf on public / municipal
courses is usually possible seven days a
week. Reserved tee-off times are available
most days.
EQUIPMENT HIRE
Most clubs have quality hire equipment
available at reasonable rates. Most golfers
in Australia pull their own buggies around
the course. Caddies are seldom used and
motorised carts are usually only available
at resort courses.
