If you're a keen golfer you may be excited about the opportunity to try out Australia's many different beautiful golf courses whilst road tripping around the country. There are hundreds of courses from the perfectly manicured world class greens to the scrubby small town course. However if you are indeed serious about golf course experiences then you can't drive across our vast Nullabor Plain without taking on the WORLDS LONGEST GOLF COURSE!
If you want to play 18 holes on this course you will need to set aside at least 4 days! Spread across two states and two time zones, the 18-hole, par 72 course spans a mind-boggling 1,365kn along the Eyre Highway from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Ceduna in South Australia. There is a hole in each town or roadhouse along the way.
Seven of the holes are on existing golf courses and 11 have been purpose built into the existing scrub. You may need to negotiate ball stealing crows, ferocious head winds and the odd snake but it's all part of the challenge!
Nullabor Golf Links costs $60 a round and golf clubs are available for hire for $5 at each hole so no you don't need to find room for the clubs in your rig when space is at a premium!
