Kangaroo Valley Golf & Country Resort

Jack Newton-designed parkland golf in the picturesque Kangaroo Valley

Kangaroo Valley Golf & Country Resort is a daily-fee, 18-hole parkland course in Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales, in the Southern Highlands. Originally designed by Jack Newton and established in 1998, it plays as a par-71 layout measuring 5,775 metres from the back markers, with four sets of tees to suit different abilities. Undulating fairways, testing greens and dams that come into play on several holes give the course its challenge despite its modest length. Facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart and club hire, and parking.

Reviewers consistently describe a warm, welcoming country-retreat experience, with friendly, attentive staff frequently singled out for going out of their way to make stays memorable. The setting earns particular praise, with the surrounding escarpments, valley views and resident wildlife adding to the sense of a peaceful getaway, especially in the golden light of late afternoon. The on-site Italian restaurant and its cosy fireplace come up often as a highlight, making it a popular choice for both golf trips and relaxing breaks. Many visitors report returning year after year, suggesting a loyal following and a course that holds up well over repeat visits. As with any busy venue, the occasional review notes inconsistent service, but the overall impression is of a friendly, scenic destination where golf and relaxation go hand in hand.
