Royal Canberra Golf Club

Royal Canberra Golf Club the foundation stone for the city was laid in 1913 and in that same year, a few golfing enthusiasts established a nine hole course on a site near to what is now the city center. Subsequently, in 1922, those stalwarts domiciled themselves on a new nine hole, sand green layout at Acton, sharing space with the Acton racecourse and leading to problem lies through omni-present hoof marks on the fairways.

Review:

“Although a new city in relative terms, Australia’s capital does contain one of the established crown jewels of Australian golf – laid out in the wonderfully undulating, natural environment of Westbourne Woods, Royal Canberra’s original 18-holes, rated 4-1/2 stars, are collectively known as the Westbourne course. A links-style golfing challenge awaits, as well as pleasant views onto the Brindabella mountain range.” -Susan Buttler

The Federal Golf Club

The Federal Golf Club is one of Canberra’s premier golf venues and presents one of Australia’s best inland golfing experiences. Formed in 1933, Federal Golf Club’s original location now lies at the bottom of Lake Burley Griffin. In 1949, the course reopened at its current location on the western side of Red Hill just two kilometres from the Parliamentary Triangle. The 18 hole championship course features pristine Santa Ana couch fairways and quality bent grass greens which are protected by well-placed bunkers. The course is set in beautiful bushland surrounds with grand views of the Brindabella Ranges making the Federal Golf Club a very special place.
