Golf courses in Australia

Australia occupies a unique position on the world golf map. The country has a concentration of top-class courses that per capita is surpassed only by Scotland and Ireland, and the quality of the finest Australian courses is reflected in the very highest international rankings. Leading Courses favourites include Royal Melbourne Golf Club and Kingston Heath Golf Club, both in the Melbourne Sandbelt, and Cape Wickham Links on King Island in the Bass Strait. The Melbourne Sandbelt has a concentration of top courses barely matched in the world: sandy soil, natural rough and a golf tradition dating back to the late nineteenth century. Cape Wickham is a more recent gem with holes directly on the Tasmanian coast that rank among the most spectacular in the world. Australia is accessible via Melbourne or Sydney with flights from Amsterdam. The climate is excellent for golf year-round, though Australian summers in the north are very hot. Spring and autumn are the most beautiful periods. Golf somewhere that most golfers only know from photographs.
