Golfing in Albury City Council (AlburyCity)
On the northern bank of the Murray, Albury forms the New South Wales half of the twin city of Albury-Wodonga, and its golf comes down to two well-contrasted 18-hole rounds. Thurgoona Country Club Resort is the headline act: a par-72 Peter Thomson and Mike Wolveridge design set in picturesque parkland, with couch fairways and bent grass greens that hold their condition year-round. It runs as a semi-private club that welcomes visitors and is home to the NSW Senior Open, yet it is laid out to give players of all abilities an enjoyable challenge. Closer to town, Albury Commercial Golf Club is the relaxed public alternative, a par-70 layout of 5,755 metres with wildlife on view, cart and club hire, and a golf motel just 100 metres from the clubhouse.
