Ultimate Australia Golf Trips & Luxury Golf Tours Down Under

It’s time to play the hottest courses in the Southern Hemisphere. Australia is home to 6 of the top 100 courses in the world, and both New Zealand and South Africa chime in with 2 each (Golf Magazine, September 2011). From Royal Melbourne in Australia – home of the recent 2011 Presidents Cup – to the awe-inspiring scenery of Cape Kidnappers in New Zealand, golf Down Under is truly an amazing experience. Play amongst the kangaroos at Barnbougle Dunes in Tasmania in Australia and the giraffes at Leopard Creek Country Club in South Africa. Stay in amazing luxury accommodations and immerse yourself in unique surroundings and culture. 

Whether you want to play one round or ten, we specialize in crafting the ultimate golf journey and experience of a lifetime. All of our golf trips and packages are designed by golfers, for golfers, on great golf courses. 

Down Under Endeavours handcrafts luxury vacations designed around your wants, needs, timeframe and budget. To get a taste of what’s possible, check out these sample itineraries. Have a look, see what catches your eye, and then chat with the Down Under team to custom-create your itinerary. Occasionally, we offer traditional “package” vacations focused on a special event. But those are the exception, not the rule. The itinerary of your trip of your lifetime will be unique to you. 

We hosted a fabulous Facebook Live Event with our partners, ClubCorp, on April 30th. The video is available here. 

We recently presented a live webinar on golfing in Australia and New Zealand. You can watch it here. 

Top Golf Destinations in Australia 

Australia offers an extraordinary range of world-class fairways set across dramatically different landscapes, making it a standout destination for discerning players. From the legendary sandbelt layouts of Victoria to rugged coastal links and remote outback settings, the country’s premier destinations elevate every round.  

Travelers planning Australia golf trips are often drawn to iconic venues like Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath, celebrated for their strategic design, firm playing conditions, and rich tournament history. Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farm are perennial favorites in Tasmania, where true links golf unfolds along windswept coastal terrain. Other standout courses include Cape Wickham on King Island, Royal Adelaide with its classic parkland design, and New South Wales Golf Club, dramatically set atop coastal cliffs south of Sydney. 

Each golf course reflects its surroundings, whether windswept dunes sculpted by ocean breezes, eucalyptus-lined parklands demanding precision, or dramatic coastal layouts framed by cliffs and open sea. Destinations across Western Australia, Victoria, and Queensland allow golfers to combine regions for a varied itinerary, pairing championship play with distinctive scenery and climate.  

You can begin by exploring our curated selection of the best Australian golf courses to understand which destinations best match your playing style, preferred climate, and overall travel goals. Our experts can also help identify which courses and destinations are most ideal for your group.  

Booking Your Golf Trip to Australia or New Zealand 

Planning a golf journey Down Under is best approached with expert guidance rather than standard booking platforms. Course access, seasonal conditions, and travel logistics all play a critical role in shaping a successful trip. Down Under Endeavours specializes in crafting journeys designed by golfers, for golfers, ensuring that each itinerary flows smoothly and maximizes time on the fairways. 

Rather than fixed packages, travelers benefit from custom planning that reflects their interests, pace, and preferred level of challenge. Experience our tailor made trips by golfers, where championship tee times, exceptional accommodations, and seamless transfers come together in a way that feels effortless and personal. 

Golf Resorts and Accommodations in Australia and New Zealand 

Where you stay is an essential part of the overall journey. New Zealand and Australia’s standout resorts and lodges are selected not just for proximity to the golf club, but for their sense of place, service, and atmosphere. From elegant city hotels near historic courses to remote lodges overlooking rugged coastlines, accommodations are chosen to complement each stage of your trip. 

Many golfers appreciate combining different styles of lodging throughout their itinerary, allowing them to experience both urban sophistication and natural seclusion. Thoughtfully selected stays enhance the rhythm of each day, ensuring that time off the course is just as rewarding as time spent playing golf.
