Australia's compact capital territory offers a refined golf experience centred around the beautifully arboretum-routed Royal Canberra, whilst providing unparalleled access to the nation's premier cultural institutions. The Australian Capital Territory combines championship-calibre parkland golf with the sophistication of purpose-built Canberra, where tree-lined fairways mirror the city's carefully planned gardens and world-class museums sit minutes from the first tee.

Founded in 1933, Federal Golf Club started out with a 9-hole layout (playing to sand greens), but it took another 20 years before eighteen grass greens became established...
The course at Gold Creek Country Club hosted the 1996 Australian PGA Seniors shortly after it opened and the winner of that particular tournament is still fondly remembered at the club because Trevinos, the Bistro, is named in his honour.
Located less than a ten-minute drive north of downtown Canberra, the course at Yowani Country Club is a late 1950s James Herd Scott design, with narrow tree-lined fairways routed around a couple of sparkling lakes.
As its name suggests, the course at Gungahlin Lakes Golf Club features a variety of beautiful ponds and lakes and these challenging water hazards threaten from the tee at some holes and with the approach shot at others.
