I was blown away by the beauty of this course. Hailing from california i have played on some wonderful layouts but this is great with long par 4 holes and reachable par 5' s. The par 3 holes look straight foward but the small elevated greens mean pinpoint iron play to make a good score. There is no sand on this layout which is good because the lovely big boab trees can cause problems on atleast 7 holes. There is a par 3 on this course which has an ugly rivine between the green and the tee. Fill this with water and you would have to have the most picturesque holes in the world with two huge boab trees eating into the green. Mindblowing stuff.

Most of the fairways are very narrow with beautiful grass but the rough is horrendous with thick grass and twiggy brush making it easy to lose balls. A local said '' you should see it in the fu##ing wet season !

All in all an unforgettable course with some of the best fairways ive ever seen and some of the worst rough. I will always remember those boabs.

A magnificent 18 hole course studded with over 250 wonderous boab trees. This testing course is known as '' the BOABS''. No need for bunkers here the trees are about 4 metres wide and are placed strategically on all holes. The course is only two years old and I hear there are plans to put in some water hazards which would make this the most memorable course in Northern Australia. The fairways are the best I have seen in Australia, the greens are small and elevated and require top skills to hold. The greens are a tad spikey at present but will improve over the next few years. The course is long and quite flat and easy to get around on foot. Tee off around 1 pm as the clubhouse does not open for drinks until 4pm. The club is full of friendly characters and hold comps on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. The course is open 365 days per year and green fees are only 20$. A gem of a course and a great little town as well ideally located in the heart of the west kimberley tourist attractions.

Magnificient grass course known as The Boabs. Fully watered course with great greens and threaded among the Boab trees which are a feature of the area.

Competitions at the weekends during the winter months - with "scroungers" 9 hole comp on Wednesdays 2.30pm. Everyone is welcome.

Check with the Visitors Bureau in need.

Course is situated approx. 1 km from town. An easy walking course.

The course is unique in that there are 7 regular holes and two holes which are configurated in such a way that they play as 4 different holes.
