Stay and play… golf in Deni

Deniliquin Golf Club hosts one of the most picturesque courses in the region. Enjoy the beauty of this golf course, alongside the kangaroos, kookaburras, Superb Parrots, echidna, goannas, lizards, pelicans and a host of other wildlife that abounds in this paradise of nature.

With its 18 manicured fairways and true greens, Deniliquin is a shining example of Australia’s magnificent golf courses.

If you’re looking for a trip away, the Deni Golf Resort has you covered with a range of packages, built to take the stress out of finding accommodation. Its 22 units overlook the ninth fairway, and are nestled among bushland.

The resort and course are in a superb location on the edge of Murray Valley Regional Park, yet just a stone’s throw from the centre of town. It’s just 30m from the resort to the first tee, and it’s a shorter distance to the bushwalk track.

The course perfectly reflects a chance for all golfing standards to enjoy a fun and challenging round.

By modern standards the course is not long — 5817 metre par 72 for men, and 5118 metre par 72 for ladies. However, off the back tees it is a challenge for all levels of player, as many professionals who have tried to tame the course have discovered.

Poor shots find the huge trees that line most of the couch fairways, while the greens are fast but true and always in great condition.

A feature of Deniliquin golf course is the ‘same day play’ principle that applies. On most days you can phone the pro shop on (03) 5881 3333 and book your tee off time, or just call in and one of the friendly volunteer staff will cater for your golfing needs.

After your round on the course, enjoy the club’s facilities. The clubhouse is open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, with Friday nights a speciality, when there are meat raffles, great meals and a fun atmosphere where locals will make you welcome.

If you want to practise your game, a new addition at the Golf Club is the under cover driving range, which features an automated ball dispenser and lighting, allowing extended play on your terms. It’s simply a matter of getting a token or swiping your credit card to get a bucket of balls and working on your swing.

The new facility has been four years in the making, with club members collecting and selling balls to fund the new range facilities, including the ball dispenser, pick up cart, ball washer and fully automated system under lights. What’s
