Thredbo Golf Course

Australia's highest 9-hole course, set riverside among eucalyptus and alpine wildflowers

Thredbo Golf Course is a 9-hole, par-33 resort course in New South Wales, Australia, measuring 1,926 metres and established in 1955. It runs alongside the Thredbo River and around the base of the mountain, lined with eucalyptus and dotted with wildflowers, and is known as Australia's highest golf course. The layout features 13 mapped bunkers, with notable holes including the Snake Pit and Wally Wombat's House. On-site facilities include a pro shop, restaurant/dining, and parking.

Players consistently single out the alpine setting and high-altitude novelty as the course's biggest draw, with the river, mountain backdrop, and eucalyptus-lined fairways earning praise for their scenery. Reviewers describe an interesting, compact layout that offers a fun, worthwhile hit when visiting the area, and many note the greens and fairways are generally well maintained and clearly marked with hole maps at the tees. Impressions on conditioning can vary with the weather, as some visitors found the greens slow to drain and soggy after rain. A few have suggested more parking and the availability of golf carts would improve the experience. Overall the reputation is of a charming, scenic short course that suits casual rounds in a memorable alpine environment.
