Merimbula Golf Club

Merimbula is a medium length, medium-level difficulty private course on land that is woodland. Visitors are extremely welcome as it is a huge club house with a huge dining room and pokies. I like the easy first hole and the high quality of the course maintenance. The many kangaroos are a highlight for many visitors. A couple of the par threes are memorable. The meals at the very large clubhouse are very impressive. Go for the local oysters. After a lot of rain it stays dry because it slopes towards the sewerage works and has plenty of drainage ditches. One thing I don't like about it is there are hidden water hazards on a few holes - so keep a watch out for the tops of the red pegs marking hazards. If you are considering this course you might also consider Tura Beach or Bega.

I played here recently with some friends of mine. The course was stunning and the staff were great as well. Was a pleasant walk through a great bushland setting. Every hole was well presented and although there were heaps of people playing, everyone kept to a good pace. Be mindful not to hit any kangaroos though. Its a two shot penalty.
