Central NSW and Hilltops
Golf Itinerary Ideas
The Hilltops regions in Central West NSW is know as a great food and wine area. However there are some hidden gem golf courses about that make it even more attractive to include it on a tour with us. Check out this itinerary.
Day 1: On the way to your accommodation in Cowra, fit in 18 holes at Young Golf Club. A layout on a hillside that zig zags across a valley with waiting ponds and around a granite boulder field. Afterwards do the half-hour drive to Cowra with a number of accommodation and dining choices that we can help you with.
Day 2: Fit in somwhere during the day a visit to the Japanese Gardens and the site of the former POW camp and the infamous Cowra Breakout. Also fit in a round at Cowra Golf Club. A pretty parkland layout it features tight shots to greens across white sand bunkers.
Day 3: It is only an hour long trip through beautiful country but Forbes Golf Club has been known for decades as one of the best country courses in the Central West. With a number of water carries to manicured greens, it is well worth the day trip
Day 4: If the travel bug has not subsided, consider travelling the hour journey to Orange to play the grand lady of Central West golf, Duntryleague. A former top 100 course, it is a long layout but wide fairways give you a chance to open your shoulders. In the middle of a bustling city, it feels secluded and just oozes class.
Bathurst/Orange has been the traditional trail to golf in the Central West. It is due to the quality of the courses and the cities themselves. This is our idea of an itinerary along this well worn path:
Day 1: Travel to Bathurst and take your car for a spin around Mt Panorama. You will appreciate how good those race car drivers are! Bathurst Golf Club is nearby and you can play 18 holes around this undulating, bushland layout with great views over the nearby Blue Mountains. After that travel the 50km to your accommodation in Orange.
Day 2: Include a round at Wenthworth Golf Club in Orange. Not as long as it’s city sister but tighter with some wonderful par 3’s and tricky short par 4’s . The course carves it’s way through a variety of pine trees. Well worth the 18 holes.
Day 3: It is the day to do it. The grand lady of Central West golf, Duntryleague. Wide but long fairways, sharp bunkering and immaculate conditioning. The course has a unique atmosphere similar to playing at Royal Sydney without the membership fee!
Day 4: Either repeat one of the courses you loved on the way home or if you don’t mind a day trip, consider going to Forbes or Dubbo Golf Clubs . You could also try nine holers like Canowindra or Blayney.
