Nullarbor Links "Dingos Den"

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the actual playing experience like at Dingos Den, considering it's part of the Nullarbor Links?

Playing Dingos Den is unlike any other golf hole you'll encounter. You'll find a basic tee box and green, often surrounded by the vast, rugged Nullarbor landscape, with kangaroos or emus as your gallery. It's a self-guided adventure, so embrace the solitude and the sheer novelty of hitting a ball in such an isolated, iconic setting.

When is the best time of year to tackle the Dingos Den hole, and what should I prepare for weather-wise?

We highly recommend playing Dingos Den during the cooler months, from April to October, to avoid the scorching summer heat. Expect clear skies and dry conditions, but always pack layers as desert nights can get surprisingly chilly. Hydration is key, so carry plenty of water for your round and journey.

Do I need special equipment or preparation for playing Dingos Den, given its remote location?

Beyond your standard clubs and balls, definitely bring a wide-brimmed hat, strong sunscreen, and sunglasses - the sun out here is relentless. We also suggest a few extra balls; the rough is truly rough, and finding an errant shot can be a real challenge in the scrub. Don't forget your camera for those unique photo ops!

What are the costs involved in playing Dingos Den, and is it worth the journey for just one hole?

You'll pay a single green fee for the entire Nullarbor Links course, which covers all 18 holes, including Dingos Den. While it might seem like a trek for one hole, the value lies in the unparalleled experience and the bragging rights of playing the world's longest course. It's an iconic Australian adventure, not just a golf round.

Are there any must-see sights or experiences near Dingos Den that I should plan for after my round?

Absolutely! After your round at Dingos Den, take some time to appreciate the sheer scale of the Nullarbor Plain itself. Look out for the famous 'roo-bars' on passing trucks, and if you're lucky, spot some unique wildlife. The journey between holes is as much a part of the experience as the golf, offering incredible, vast landscapes.
