Golf in Australia's Capital
Canberra is one of Australia's best-kept golfing secrets. Planned from scratch as a national capital, the city is unusually green, spacious, and unhurried — and that same character defines its golf courses. Wide, immaculately conditioned fairways. Native bushland between holes. Clean mountain air and Brindabella Range views that Sydney and Melbourne courses simply cannot match.
With significantly fewer crowds than the eastern capitals, outstanding year-round course maintenance funded by large membership bases, and direct flights from Sydney in under an hour, Canberra is ideal for a relaxed escape with mates, a corporate event, a couples retreat, or a serious multi-round trip.
Our Canberra golfing tours blend great golf with the region's world-class cool-climate wines — sourced from over 140 wineries within 35 minutes of the CBD — boutique dining, and the city's remarkable cultural attractions. Every package is built around your group's preferences, pace, and budget. Nothing off the shelf.

Six compelling reasons Canberra belongs on every serious golfer's Australia itinerary.
Championship Quality
Royal Canberra and Federal Golf Club consistently rank among Australia's top 50 courses. Immaculate presentation, strategic design, and variety across all five featured clubs.
Uncrowded Fairways
Canberra's courses operate at a fraction of Sydney or Melbourne's visitor volume. Relaxed pace of play, no queuing on tees, and unhurried clubhouse time after your round.
World-Class Wine Region
Over 140 cellar doors within 35 minutes of Canberra. Cool-climate Rieslings, Shiraz, and Pinot Noir are exceptional. Wine tour days easily paired with golf days.

Non-golfers are equally catered for — the National Gallery, War Memorial, National Museum, and Questacon are all world-class. Canberra rewards the whole group.

Organised a corporate golf day for 40 through Cooee. Seamless from start to finish — the course, catering, and prizes were all handled. Our team is still talking about it two months later.

🍂 Autumn — March to May
Temperature: 8–22°C, mild with brilliant golden-red foliage across the courses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Canberra golfing tours. Can't find your answer? Contact our golf team directly.
What golf courses are included in Canberra golfing tours?
Our tours feature the ACT's premier courses: Royal Canberra Golf Club, Federal Golf Club, Yowani Country Club, Gold Creek Country Club (Robert Trent Jones Jr. design), and Murrumbidgee Country Club. We also have access to regional courses in Queanbeyan, Yass, Hall, and the Southern Highlands. Specific courses vary by package — every itinerary can be customised to your preferred clubs and skill level.
What is the best time of year for golf in Canberra?
Canberra offers excellent golfing from September through May. Autumn (March–May) and spring (September–November) are the standout windows, offering mild temperatures of 15–25°C, minimal rainfall, and outstanding course conditions. Summer allows early-morning rounds before heat builds. Winter offers the best rates and quietest courses, though morning frosts can delay tee times by an hour or two.
Can you customise a golfing tour for our group?
Absolutely — every Cooee Tours golf package is tailored to your group. We adjust course selection, accommodation tier, dining preferences, group size (2 to 120+ players), non-golf activities for partners, and trip duration from a single day to a full week. Contact us with your brief and we'll design a bespoke itinerary at no obligation and no cost.
Do golf tours include accommodation and transfers?
Yes. All multi-day packages include quality accommodation, airport or CBD hotel transfers, inter-course transfers, and green fees. Single-day experiences include round-trip transfers from central Canberra CBD hotels. Full inclusions are detailed on each individual package page. Meals vary by package tier.
Are golfing tours suitable for mixed groups with non-golfers?
Yes, and we design these regularly. Our itineraries combine golf for the players with parallel activities for non-golfers: guided wine district tours, cultural visits to the National Gallery, Australian War Memorial, National Museum, and Questacon, spa experiences at boutique hotels, and guided nature excursions to Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve and Namadgi National Park. Everyone enjoys the trip.
How far in advance should we book a Canberra golf tour?
We recommend booking 4–6 weeks ahead for standard packages. For peak season windows (September–November and March–April) or large groups of 10+, allow 8–12 weeks. Royal Canberra Golf Club has strictly limited visitor access, so earlier booking is essential to secure preferred tee times at that venue specifically.
Can I hire golf clubs in Canberra?
Yes. All featured courses offer quality club hire — typically current-model Callaway or TaylorMade sets — for approximately $50–$80 per round. We arrange hire in advance as part of your package. If bringing your own clubs by air, most airlines carry golf bags in the sports equipment baggage category.
What is the dress code at Canberra golf clubs?
Canberra's premier clubs maintain a standard golf dress code: collared shirt (polo or button-down), tailored shorts or trousers (no denim, no cargo shorts), and golf shoes with soft spikes or soft-sole footwear. Some clubs require long socks with shorts. Specific dress requirements for each course are included in your pre-trip pack.
Do you offer corporate golf day packages?
Yes. Our Corporate Golf Day Package covers everything: course booking and tee-time coordination, personalised hole signage, sponsored hole activities, catering packages, prize procurement, professional photography, and MC services for post-round presentations. We cater for 16 to 120 players across Ambrose, Stableford, Stroke, and custom formats.
What is the cancellation policy?
Full refunds are available for cancellations 14 or more days before departure. Cancellations 7–14 days prior receive a 50% refund or full credit toward a future booking. Cancellations within 7 days are non-refundable. Complete terms are provided at the time of booking — see our full cancellation policy.
Is travel insurance recommended for a golf tour?
Yes — we strongly recommend it. Travel insurance covering trip cancellation, medical, and equipment is important, particularly for multi-day packages. We can recommend suitable policies for Australian domestic golf travel, or see our travel insurance guidance page for more information.
