RAAF Darwin Golf Club

Last updated February 2026

**Overview** Tee off at the RAAF Darwin Golf Club, a unique 18-hole course nestled within the RAAF Base, offering a challenging yet fun golfing experience for the whole family. Enjoy the lush, tropical surroundings and well-kept fairways, perfect for golfers of all ages and skill levels. **What to Bring** Golf clubs, golf attire (collared shirts and appropriate shorts or pants), golf shoes, hat, sunscreen, water bottle, and any personal golf accessories. **Best Age Range** Ages 7 and up, as younger children may not yet have the attention span or skill level for a full round of golf. **Good to Know** The course is open to the public, but visitors must check in at the base gate for security purposes. It's a good idea to arrive a bit early to allow for this process. The clubhouse offers snacks and refreshments, but you might want to bring extra water and snacks for the kids. **Nearby** Crocosaurus Cove, a wildlife park where kids can hold a crocodile, is just a 15-minute drive away. For a fun family picnic, head to Lake Alexander, a beautiful spot for swimming and relaxation, about 20 minutes from the golf club. **Tips From Other Parents** "Bring plenty of water and sunscreen – the tropical sun can be intense, even on cloudy days!" - Sarah, mum of two "If your kids are new to golf, consider booking a family lesson or clinic to make the most of your visit." - David, dad of one
