Set against the backdrop of the everchanging Moresby Ranges are 18 beautiful golf holes designed to be as much a part of the surrounding Nature Reserve as a challenge to even the most skilled golfer. The Par 72 course is by no means long at 5,871 metres but the tight, tree lined fairways accompanied by thick natural bush make for a game where accuracy from the tee is all important.
The lush, fully reticulated, couch grass fairways reward the good tee shot with perfect lies every time no matter what club you choose to play. However, it’s the sensational “saltene” grass greens that have made Spalding Park GC famous Australia wide. This salt tolerant grass is perfectly suited to the water and hot climate of Geraldton and makes a putting surface that can only be described as magnificent no matter what time of year you should choose to play.
So whether it’s a casual relaxing game of golf among beautiful natural surroundings, or the challenge of a first class competition course as good as most in Western Australia, then you must visit Spalding Park GC in Geraldton. You certainly won’t be dissappointed.

A real championship course and definitely the better of the two courses in Geraldton. The greens were superb, good pace and excellent condition. The layout is very good and the fairways were also in good condition. Most greens are well guarded by large bunkers and so your sand game can get a real workout. The sand is excellent to play from. We played this on Tuesday morning and got around in about 3 hours, so there is no trouble walking the course. The green fees were $28 for 18 holes, however if you pick up their leaflet from the Visitor Centre before you play and present it you can get a 20% discount on Mondays & Tuesdays. Excellent value for money. A great course and a must to play. If you only have time for 1 round in Geraldton then play this course.
