Nation's Capital - Golf's Quiet Gem
Australia’s capital city may be best known for its politics and museums, but Canberra is also a hidden gem for golfers looking to combine championship courses with natural beauty and cultural appeal. Framed by national parks, bushland and lakes, Canberra offers immaculate, tree-lined fairways, a cool climate, and welcoming clubs just minutes from the city.
Best Time to Visit?
The ideal golf season in Canberra runs from March to May and September to November, when crisp mornings, clear skies and mild temperatures provide perfect playing conditions across the capital’s best courses.
TIP: Visit in autumn to catch spectacular foliage throughout the fairways and nearby parks.
Travel & Transport
Canberra Airport offers direct flights from major cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide, and is just 15 minutes from the CBD. Golf courses are easily accessible by car, and the city’s compact layout makes Canberra ideal for short stays or weekend golf getaways.
TIP: Ask about car hire or local transfers to link your hotel with your chosen courses.
Booking Tee Times
While most Canberra golf clubs are welcoming to visitors, Royal Canberra requires advance arrangements and is typically accessed through curated packages or events. Federal, Gold Creek, Yowani, and Murrumbidgee offer public access with competitive green fees.
TIP: For peak seasons and weekend play, book your tee times at least 2–3 weeks in advance, especially for Federal Golf Club which is popular with locals and visitors alike.
Package Includes:
5 nights / 3 rounds / Breakfast
Whether you’re playing at Federal, Gold Creek, or Royal Canberra, Pavilion provides a quiet retreat between rounds, offering the comfort, convenience, and flexibility ideal for a stay-and-play golf holiday.
