Golf

Situated on the edge of the Murray Valley Regional Park, yet just a stone’s throw from the town centre, the Deniliquin Golf Club boasts one of the nation’s most natural and beautiful courses.

Pack your clubs

With 18 carefully manicured fairways meandering around the waterways and forest, Deniliquin Golf Club is a mecca for native birds and wildlife. The club also offers a 'same day play' which is rare among the Murray courses

As you walk the lush couch fairways, surrounded by abundant native flora, you may be joined by wildlife as varied as kangaroos to wild ducks which lay claim to this oasis of greenery as their breeding grounds.

Or you may share the fairways with the beautiful superb parrots who, like other birds and native animals, seem oblivious to the human activity which surrounds them.

The course itself is a par 72, comprising five par threes, five par fives and eight par fours. The front nine is shorter, though lots of water hazards require precision placement. The more open back nine allows you to open up with the driver, but beware the creeks and trees if you're too far off line.

The course is not long by today's standards - 5848 metres for men and 5118 metres for ladies - but challenges the accuracy of all players. Good shots are rewarded, but those who stray can find huge trees which line our fairways, Aljoes Creek which splits the course or one of the many water holes.

The greens are fast but true and kept in magnificent condition throughout the year.

Set between the ninth fairway and Murray Valley Regional Park is the Deniliquin Golf Leisure Resort, which provides a peaceful and idyllic location for your golfing getaway. Great golfing packages are available.

In the clubhouse you will find friendly country hospitality surrounding a busy program of entertainment and activities including raffles, bingo and Friday night dining. Contact the club on (03) 5881 1325 or visit www.denigolfclub.com.au to learn more.

Whether you are a regular golfer or a novice, don’t miss the opportunity to ‘get back to nature’ with a round on this outstanding course. Most days there is no need to book, just pop into the pro shop or call (03) 5881 3333 to organise your hit-off.
