Golfing

Golf may not have originated in Australia but ever since its humble beginnings on a Tasmanian sheep farm, the Australian golfing scene has flourished.

With the sun shining for most of the year and courses set amongst some of the most stunning scenery in the country, golfers are spoiled for choice with more than 1500 courses across the country. From elite championship fairways to tiny country greens, golf here is unique for so many reasons.

Melbourne’s sandbelt region is often named as the best stretch of golfing country on the planet, and is home to many of the top ranked courses in the world. These fairways are home to pro tournaments and give a taste of the upper crust of Australian golf courses.

At the other end of the scale, you wouldn’t want to miss such little gems as the course at Coober Pedy with its coloured golf balls and red dirt fairway. Country and outback Australia hide some of the most unique golfing experiences around, and out here you may get to share your game with the local wildlife!

By and large, Australia is the perfect place for a round of golf. Whether you are a pro looking for a challenge or an amateur looking to improve your average you’ll find a fairway to call your own somewhere on the many golf courses of Australia.
