Nullabour Links "Windmills"

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you even find and play the "Windmills" hole on the Nullarbor Links?

This isn't your typical club-house check-in. You'll need to drive a fair distance along the Eyre Highway, keeping an eye out for the signs near Cocklebiddy. We recommend getting your Nullarbor Links scorecard and certificate before you start, usually from Kalgoorlie or Ceduna, to make the experience official.

What are the playing conditions like at the "Windmills" hole, especially the greens?

Forget lush, manicured greens here; you're playing on the Nullarbor Plain, so expect natural, rugged fairways and "greens" that are more like oiled scrapes. It's a true outback golf experience, so adjust your expectations and enjoy the challenge of the terrain.

When is the best time of year to tackle the "Windmills" hole, and what should I be prepared for?

We strongly advise visiting during the cooler months, typically April to October, to avoid the scorching summer heat. Always carry plenty of water, sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat; the sun out here is relentless, and shade is a luxury.

Is playing the "Windmills" hole, or the Nullarbor Links in general, an expensive undertaking?

The actual golf fee for the entire Nullarbor Links is quite reasonable, but the real cost comes from the travel- the fuel, accommodation, and food across the vast Nullarbor. We think it's an incredible value for a truly once-in-a-lifetime golf adventure, unlike anything else on Earth.

What makes the "Windmills" hole stand out as a memorable stop on the Nullarbor Links?

Beyond the sheer novelty of playing golf in such a remote spot, the "Windmills" hole offers a stark, beautiful landscape dominated by the iconic wind turbines. It's a fantastic photo opportunity and a stark reminder of the isolation and ingenuity required to live and play out here.
