Bonville Golf Resort

Bonville Golf Resort is a lush, tropical-style golf paradise set among 200 acres of manicured gardens, towering trees, and sparkling waterways on the New South Wales mid-north coast. It’s widely considered one of Australia’s most beautiful golf courses, but even non-golfers will love the serene walking paths, abundant birdlife, and the chance to stay in a luxury villa overlooking the fairways.

Highlights & What to See

• Championship Golf Course: An 18-hole, par-72 course that winds through rainforest, lakes, and rolling greens. Even if you don’t play, the scenery is spectacular.
• Clubhouse Dining: Enjoy a meal or drink on the expansive deck with panoramic course views – the seafood platter is a local favourite.
• Gardens & Walking Trails: Explore the resort’s subtropical gardens, home to more than 20,000 trees, 5,000 palms, and abundant bird species.
• Accommodation: Stay in self-contained villas or hotel rooms, many with direct course access and private balconies.
• Pro Shop & Lessons: Pick up gear or book a lesson with one of the resident pros – suitable for all skill levels.

Suggested Time to Spend

Golfers should allow a full day for 18 holes plus lunch at the clubhouse. Non-golfers can enjoy the grounds and a meal in 2–3 hours. If you’re staying overnight, a weekend makes a relaxing escape from the coast.
