Tucked into the lush subtropical hinterland near Coffs Harbour, Bonville Golf Resort is more than just a beautiful course, it’s a sanctuary. Often described as “Australia’s Augusta,” this award-winning resort offers the ideal setting for a girls’ golf escape that blends sport, serenity, and a touch of indulgence.
From the moment you arrive, Bonville feels like a retreat. Towering gum trees line the fairways, morning mist clings gently to the greens, and the peaceful calls of kookaburras replace the usual hustle of everyday life. The course itself is a masterpiece, challenging enough to satisfy seasoned golfers, but with a playability and welcoming atmosphere that makes it perfect for all levels. Wide fairways, forgiving greens and generously placed tee boxes green the novice or shorter hitter.
And while it may still be a hidden gem to some, many women’s golf groups are already in the know. Every year, long-standing women’s golf groups from Brisbane, Sydney, and Newcastle make the pilgrimage to Bonville, where they’re greeted by name, welcomed like family, and
treated to the kind of golf trip memories that become tradition. Their weekends are a perfect mix of competition, connection, and celebration, with plenty of laughs between rounds.
Each of Bonville’s 18 holes winds through stunning native forest, with sweeping elevation changes, peaceful cart paths, and fairways that feel like they were carved with care and respect for the land. The par 4, 12th is a standout, playing downhill with panoramic views and often a curious wallaby or two watching from the sidelines.
Host venue for the Ladies European tour event, the Australian Women’s Classic for six years, the world’s best female pros are no stranger to Bonville. World golf hall of famer Dame Laura Davies has rounded the course many times and enjoyed the nostalgic feel that Bonville creates. But golf is just the beginning. The resort has been home to the Bonville Amateur Ladies Classic for over 25 years, an event that sees women from across the nation descend on the Coffs Coast for a weekend of cocktail parties, dress-ups and plenty of banter, with some golf thrown in!
After a round, retreat to your comfortable and private room adorning the first fairway. Then, finish your day with a 3 course a la carte dinner at the award-winning Flooded Gums Restaurant, where local produce and a thoughtfully curated wine list make every meal feel like a
celebration. For groups of 12 or more, the resort also offers tailored packages for women’s groups, making it easy to plan a seamless, fuss-free escape with your favourite playing partners.
Beyond the course, Coffs Harbour’s pristine beaches, rainforest walking tracks, and boutique food and wine experiences are but a short drive away.
