Arrival at Carramar Golf Course

Carramar Golf Course, located in the heart of Carramar on Golf Links Drive, is situated on an expansive native bushland. Its picturesque 18-hole course is surrounded by gum trees and features a 150m-wide all-grass driving range. From the car park, there is step-free access to the concrete-brick pathway bordered by gum trees which leads to the clubhouse. 

The all-grass driving range is on the right and continuing, the clubhouse is on the left. The '80s-style low-set red brick building sits naturally on flat ground with subtle undulating terrain. Golf carts are parked on the right of the veranda and bench chairs are available for seating, perfect for golfers in queue as they wait for their turn to play.

18 Hole Golf Course

Carramar Golf Course, a 72 par, 6121-metre course, is known for its challenging play amidst Australian bushland. The course's difficulty comes from its native setting, offering glimpses of wildflowers and kangaroos.

The toughest hole, the 423-metre par 4 'Heartbreak Hill', requires a 250-metre tee shot off an elevated tee to navigate successfully. Greens are protected by hollows and bunkers, with tee options ranging from challenging to formidable.

Facilities include a large driving range and putting green, both near the first tee. The course is characterized by its flat terrain, the distinctive blue-painted tree near the first tee and ninth green, and a tranquil, naturalist setting among gum trees and lush greens.
