Darwin Golf Course

Family-friendly municipal golf in Darwin's north, with a bistro that draws the crowds

Darwin Golf Course is a municipal course located in Marrara, in the northern suburbs of Darwin, Australia. The layout plays to 19 holes at a par of 77 over 5,884 metres, with 41 mapped bunkers. Facilities include a driving range, a clubhouse, a restaurant/dining area and cart hire.

Pitched as a place for the whole family, Darwin Golf Course pairs its golf with a lively clubhouse that visitors return to again and again. The dining side earns particular affection, with regulars praising the bistro's steak nights and the welcoming, kid-friendly atmosphere complete with a playground. Service generally gets a warm reception, though a handful of diners note that kitchen waits and the odd steak cooked off-spec can test patience on busier evenings. On the whole, the impression is of a relaxed, social spot where a round and a meal go hand in hand, backed by practice facilities and cart hire for those focused on their game.
