If you’re dreaming of a golf holiday in Australia, there’s much to consider. The country is blessed with variety. From rugged coastal links to tree-lined championship layouts, every type of golfer can find their match. But if you’re after more than just a nice course, if you want the kind of place where every detail is looked after and the setting is just as rewarding as the golf, you’ll want to put Bonville Golf Resort on your list.

So how do you plan the kind of golf holiday you’ll want to repeat year after year?

Pick the Right Destination for You

Every good trip starts with the right location. Australia offers plenty, but choosing a course that suits your style, skill level and pace matters.

Bonville is a Par 72 championship course nestled on the Coffs Coast in Northern New South Wales. It’s consistently ranked among the best in the country, and for good reason. The layout winds through towering flooded gums and subtropical rainforest. There’s a rhythm to the course that rewards thoughtful play. If you’re after a fair challenge, a quiet escape and jaw dropping vistas we’ve got you covered.

Bonville suits a wide range of players. Low markers will appreciate the need for precision. Higher handicappers will enjoy the calm, no pressure setting, wide fairways and approachable greens. Off the course, the region has everything you need to fill the rest of your holiday with great food, country hospitality and space to breathe included in each and every package.

Book Ahead and Plan Your Perfect Golf Holiday in Australia

Once you’ve picked your destination, it pays to be organised. At Bonville, tee times book out in advance so be sure to secure your tee time when you book your package. The same goes for accommodation.

Bonville makes it easy with real time booking online where you can choose from a range of stay-and-play packages. Many guests go for the Stay, Play and Dine option, which includes golf, onsite accommodation, dinner and breakfast at the Flooded Gums Restaurant.

If you like your holidays simple, with the hard parts already sorted, booking online is the way to go. Secure your date, pay your deposit, all in advance of your arrival.

Pack Smart for Golf and Beyond

Packing for a golf trip doesn’t have to be complicated, but a bit of planning helps.

Bring your regular gear — clubs, balls, glove, shoes — and make sure your clothing suits the season. The Coffs Coast has a mild climate most of the year, but early mornings can be fresh in Autumn and Winter. Lightweight shirts and shorts are fine for most rounds, and a pullover or light jacket is a good backup, as is a vest. Pack a raincoat and some comfortable shoes for post round.

Off the course, you’ll want comfortable golf wear during the day and smart casual attire for dinner. Bring something for the beach if that’s on your list, and a jacket or pullover for cooler evenings.

If you’re not sure how to make the most of your visit, Bonville’s staff are more than happy to help. They can assist with putting together an itinerary tailored to your preferences, whether that’s back-to-back rounds or a slower pace with room to explore the region.

Make Time for More Than Golf

Even the most dedicated golfer benefits from a bit of variety. The Coffs Coast has plenty to offer, and it’s worth building a few local experiences into your trip.

There are beautiful beaches nearby for a swim or a lazy afternoon in the sun. If you like food and wine, you’ll find local restaurants that celebrate regional produce. For something quieter, take a walk through Dorrigo National Park or head into Sawtell or Bellingen for a browse through boutique shops and cafés.

These side trips don’t take away from the golf. They add to the rhythm of the holiday. A morning round, an afternoon at the beach, dinner overlooking the 18th — it’s a good way to travel.

Keep It Simple and Enjoy the Game

The key to planning the perfect golf holiday is picking a destination that does the heavy lifting for you. Bonville makes that easy. The course is world-class. The resort is quiet and welcoming. The food is thoughtful and an experienced team delivers a warm country hospitality that’s hard to match.

All that’s left is for you to show up with your clubs, settle into the pace of the place and swing easy.
