Palmerston Golf Course

Par 71 tropical parkland in Durack with contrasting stretches, water and woodlands

Palmerston Golf Course is a par-71 public parkland course measuring 3,117 metres in Durack, Northern Territory. Designed by Glenn Campbell, it was established in 1995. The layout features longer fairways with water in play on the front holes and a well-wooded, accuracy-demanding back stretch. On-site facilities include a driving range, pro shop, restaurant/dining, cart hire, club hire and parking.

Set in tropical surrounds, this course is widely regarded as enjoyable and approachable for players of all standards, with a stronger, water-laced front giving way to a tighter, tree-framed back stretch. Visitors frequently highlight the venue's clean, well-kept grounds and welcoming atmosphere, noting it as a particularly good fit for families and groups. The clubhouse and bistro draw plenty of foot traffic, and reviewers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff, though impressions of the food are more mixed and the dining room can get busy and lively at peak times. Overall, the reputation is that of a relaxed, all-round day out where the contrasting stretches and social facilities are the standout draws.
