Golf

Australia, New Zealand & South Pacific

From beachside fairways to cliff-hugging greens, Australia, New Zealand and the islands of the South Pacific offer a collection of world-class golf courses and luxury golfing getaways to match.

From Melbourne’s prestigious sandbelt golf clubs to Tasmania’s remote coastal links and spectacular Australian outback courses; fairways lined with kangaroos or greens enjoying endless ocean vistas, Australia has one of the highest number of golf courses per capita in the world, and keen golfers are never far from the opportunity to swing a club
