This 27 hole golf course next door to the famous Western Plains Zoo is a wonderful challenge for golfers of all skill levels. All 3 "nines" are long with plenty of par 4's over 350m and par 5's 450m+. The course is relatively flat except for the third nine and is generally dry given the drought problems in the western plain region so tee shots will get extra roll. Because of the dryness, there is little rough to speak of but plenty of sandy or hard lies which are difficult for most golfers to hit off. The greens are well kept and are generally quite quick.

Dubbo GC requires your A game in driving due to the course length (about 6000 m for all 3 18 hole combo's) and the length off the tees to get around doglegs on long par 4's.

Warning: This course gets extremely hot in summer, particularly from mid November when hot westerly winds can blow and is best played early in the morning. Otherwise it is a nicely set up course with the odd kangaroo to divert your attention.

Played 28/09/05

Looked forward to this well recommended course so much that we booked two nights accomodation in Dubbo. Bad luck for me that some inconsiderste business was having a corporate day and I could only play 9 holes. Disappointed, I trudged around and played two balls, averaged 44 in a big wind and can't remember much to rave about(The leader of the opposition was crook back in the motel room).

At one stage I passed the entrance to the zoo and I was worried I might get lost. Not the club's fault but those holes out the back of nowhere for a visitor bloke were a bit lonely.

For those of you that don't know, Dubbo is in a drought stricken area, but struggling farmers who have a love for golf see more green than in any crop when sailing balls down a well maintained leafy tree lined fairway on this 27 hole championship course.

Although alot of the hazard placements aren't really in play for the good golfers. They are definately challenging for the Handicap 12+ players. Which is me.

Definate highlight hole for me is 21: Approx 300m that needs an accurate tee shot. But those big hitters thinking you'll make the green. You will have to fly it there, past an intimidating red crater of a bunker. But you put it over the back and you'll find a pond to welcome your lil overshot missile. But I'll let you decide whether you lay up or go the whole distance when you come and try it out for yourself.
