Golfing in Warrumbungle Shire Council
On the edge of the Warrumbungle range, golf in Warrumbungle Shire means two public nine-holers that each stretch into a full 18-hole round. Coonabarabran Golf Club, about two hours' drive from Dubbo and Tamworth, has grass greens and a family-friendly clubhouse, and plays its par-73 round from dual tees. It is a favourite with travellers, as self-contained campers can stay behind the clubhouse and finish the day with a cold drink at the licensed bar or a meal at the attached restaurant. Dunedoo's course is run by the Dunedoo Sports Club and uses varying tee positions to turn its nine holes into a testing 18-hole round, and the clubhouse kitchen has earned fans of its own. Both suit anyone touring the Newell Highway with a set of clubs and an unhurried afternoon.
