Highercombe Public Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real scoop on Highercombe's course layout - is it a walk in the park or a genuine test?

Don't let 'public' fool you; Highercombe offers a surprisingly engaging round with some clever doglegs and elevation changes that keep you honest. You'll find it's a fair challenge for most handicaps, rewarding smart play over brute force rather than just raw power.

When's the best time of year to play Highercombe without getting roasted or rained out?

We always recommend hitting Highercombe during the shoulder seasons - think autumn (March-May) or spring (September-November). The weather is usually perfect for golf, offering comfortable temperatures and less chance of the intense summer heat or winter's chill that can sometimes make a round less enjoyable.

How does Highercombe stack up for value - will I break the bank for a round here?

Highercombe is a fantastic option if you're looking for great value without sacrificing a decent golf experience. Green fees are very reasonable, especially compared to some of the private clubs in the region, making it an excellent choice for a casual round or if you're on a budget.

What's the one thing about Highercombe that really makes it stand out from other public courses?

For us, it's the unexpected tranquility and the way the course integrates with the natural Australian bushland - you'll often spot local wildlife. The back nine, in particular, offers some memorable holes with surprisingly scenic views that feel a world away from the city.

What's the typical pace of play like at Highercombe, especially on weekends?

Like many popular public courses, Highercombe can get busy, especially on weekend mornings, so expect a steady pace. We suggest booking an early tee time if you prefer a quicker round, or consider a weekday afternoon for a more relaxed experience.
