Golf in The Murray

With more than a dozen golf courses set among spectacular natural beauty, no matter what your handicap, The Murray is a great place to tee off. Sweeping fairways follow the gentle curves of the river, lined with rows of river red gums and wattle, and the manicured greens are often dotted with kangaroos or flocks of native birds.
