Canberra Public Golf Course

Affordable, social 18-hole par 72 in Narrabundah for golfers of every level

Canberra Public Golf Course is an 18-hole public course located in Narrabundah, Australian Capital Territory, playing to a par of 72 over 5,146 metres. The layout features water that comes into play across the round. On-site facilities include a clubhouse.

Capital Golf Course has a reputation as a relaxed, social spot that welcomes players of all abilities, and reviewers frequently highlight its affordability and easygoing, friendly atmosphere. Many describe it as an honest, unfussy course — a great-value entry point to the game — with a welcoming clubhouse crew, good vibes, and a dog-friendly, fun feel. The challenge comes from carrying water and navigating sand, and the bunkers earn a mention as testing. Opinions on conditioning have varied: some have noted patchy maintenance, wet greens, and rough that blends into the fairway, while more recent impressions point to a noticeable turnaround under new management, with the course said to be looking better than ever. The overall consensus is a fun, sociable round best enjoyed with mates rather than a polished championship test.
