Tropical Golf with a Top End Twist
Australia’s tropical capital, Darwin, offers a truly unique golf experience — blending lush landscapes, warm year-round weather, and a vibrant cultural scene. With wide fairways, relaxed clubs, and a welcoming local vibe, Darwin is perfect for a laid-back golf holiday that feels worlds away from the everyday. Whether it’s a winter escape or part of a Top End adventure, Darwin delivers golf with character, climate, and colour.
Best Time to Visit?
The best time to golf in Darwin is during the Dry Season — from May to September — when the weather is sunny, dry, and cooler. Humidity is low, skies are clear, and courses are in peak condition for morning and afternoon rounds.
TIP: Plan your visit for June or July to escape southern winters and enjoy festival season alongside top-tier tropical golf.
Travel & Transport
Darwin International Airport offers direct flights from most major Australian cities. Golf courses are within 20–30 minutes of the CBD, with car hire and rideshare options readily available.
TIP: Base yourself in central Darwin and enjoy easy access to courses, dining, markets, and cultural attractions like Mindil Beach Sunset Market or the Museum & Art Gallery of the NT.
Booking Tee Times
Darwin has several top-quality courses that offer both challenge and scenery:
Darwin Golf Club – the city’s premier 18-hole course, with lush fairways, tropical surrounds, and a relaxed, friendly clubhouse.
Palmerston Golf & Country Club – a resort-style layout with water features, native trees, and excellent practice facilities.
Gardens Park Golf Links – an inner-city 9-hole option ideal for warm-up rounds or a casual afternoon.
TIP: Tee times are generally available, but it’s best to book in advance during school holidays or Darwin’s dry season peak (June–August).
