Golfing in Murray River Council
From Moama downstream to Tooleybuc along the Murray's northern bank, this is red gum border country, and its golf leans towards resort-style rounds, all of it public. Rich River at Moama is the big operation, with 36 holes across two championship courses: the East is the sterner test with more water in play, while the West is more open and forgiving, and both are known for well-groomed fairways and fast, true greens. Murray Downs, a 1991 design by E. & G. Parslow and Associates, is a strategic par 72 where positional play, fairway bunkering and back-nine water reward thinking golfers. Barham Golf Resort is a Ross Watson bushland layout defined by its bunkering, peaking at Gallipoli, a par-4 fifth with one of the largest bunkers on the Murray. Mathoura adds a relaxed country 18.
