St John Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play St John Golf Course?

We think the shoulder seasons - autumn (March-May) and spring (September-November) - are ideal for St John. You'll dodge the intense summer heat and the cooler, sometimes wetter, winter days, enjoying perfect playing conditions and lush fairways.

What makes St John unique, and what's its signature challenge?

St John truly stands out with its challenging par-3 7th hole, often dubbed 'The Billabong Bite.' You'll need precise club selection to carry the water hazard, which is frequently home to a few sunbathing kangaroos - a classic Australian distraction.

Is St John a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While St John isn't overly hilly, we highly recommend taking a cart, especially during the warmer months. The distances between some greens and tees can be a bit of a trek, and you'll conserve energy to focus on your game, not your steps.

What kind of wildlife can I expect to see on the course?

You'll definitely encounter some local residents at St John, particularly kangaroos grazing peacefully on the fairways - it's part of the charm! Just remember to give them space; they're usually quite accustomed to golfers but are wild animals, so admire them from a respectful distance.

What's the post-round experience like at St John's clubhouse?

After your round, we always head to the clubhouse's veranda for a cold local brew and a classic Aussie pie. The views over the 18th green are fantastic, and it's a relaxed spot to recount your birdies - or commiserate over those wayward shots.
