Frequently Asked Questions
Which course at 13th Beach Golf Links should I play first, the Beach or the Creek?
If you're only playing one, we always steer friends towards the Beach Course; it's the one that truly captures the coastal links feel with its dramatic dunes and ocean breezes. The Creek Course is fantastic too, offering a more inland, strategic challenge, but the Beach is the quintessential 13th Beach experience. You'll find yourself battling the elements and loving every minute of it.
What's the best time of year to visit 13th Beach Golf Links for ideal playing conditions?
We always recommend aiming for late spring (October-November) or early autumn (March-April) in Australia. The weather is generally milder, with less of the strong summer winds or the chill of winter, making for more enjoyable rounds. Book well in advance, especially for weekend tee times, as these periods are popular.
What's the signature challenge or a must-play hole at 13th Beach?
On the Beach Course, the par-3 16th is an absolute stunner and a real test, playing directly towards the ocean with the wind often a major factor. It demands a precise shot to a well-guarded green, and you'll want to take a moment to soak in the views regardless of your score. It's a hole that truly defines the course's coastal character.
How challenging are the courses at 13th Beach for a mid-handicapper?
Both courses offer a fair challenge, but they're definitely playable for mid-handicappers if you choose the right tees. The Beach Course, with its exposed nature, can feel tougher on a windy day, demanding good ball striking and creativity around the greens. The Creek Course is more forgiving off the tee but requires thoughtful approach shots to its often elevated greens.
Beyond the golf, what else should I know about the experience at 13th Beach Golf Links?
The clubhouse is welcoming and unpretentious, perfect for a post-round drink or a casual meal with views over the courses. You'll find a well-stocked pro shop and excellent practice facilities, including a driving range and putting greens, which are great for warming up. It's a relaxed, genuine golf club experience, focused purely on the game.
