Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Bencubbin Golf Club without melting?

What kind of course is Bencubbin - is it a typical Aussie links or something different?

What's the biggest challenge or a must-play hole at Bencubbin?

The par-3 7th hole at Bencubbin is a real beauty and a proper test, often playing into a stiff breeze that can make club selection tricky. Don't let the seemingly open layout fool you; the native scrub lining the fairways is a ball magnet if you stray, especially on the dogleg 12th.
