Rankins Springs Golf Club
About this course
Rankins Springs Golf Club serves the small rural community of Rankins Springs in the Riverina region of New South Wales, situated roughly halfway between Griffith and West Wyalong. The course reflects the agricultural character of its surroundings, occupying land in the semi-arid plains country typical of this part of inland New South Wales. Like many country courses in the region, it operates as a social hub for local residents and visitors passing through the area. The layout is a nine-hole course that can be played twice from different tees to complete a full round. The terrain is relatively flat, characteristic of the Riverina landscape, with sparse tree coverage and native grasses adapted to the area's low rainfall. Maintenance and conditioning reflect the realities of volunteer-run clubs in remote locations, where water availability and resources shape the playing experience more than manicured presentation. The club functions primarily as a recreational facility for the local farming community and travelers exploring the region's back roads. Social golf competitions and casual rounds dominate the calendar, with the clubhouse serving as a gathering point for the township. The course offers a straightforward test suited to players of all abilities, with the emphasis on accessibility and community connection rather than championship challenge or design complexity.

Getting there
Rankins Springs Golf Club sits deep in the Riverina plains of western New South Wales, roughly equidistant between Sydney and Adelaide but belonging to neither - a true outback proposition best reached via Griffith Airport (GFF), an hour's drive northeast through flat, golden wheat country and sparse mallee scrub. The alternative is a longer haul from Wagga Wagga or Canberra, each adding another hour or more to the pilgrimage. As sealed highway gives way to quieter rural roads, the landscape opens into that distinctly Australian vastness - wide skies, distant horizons, and the occasional windbreak of river red gums - before the modest township of Rankins Springs appears like a mirage, its nine-hole course a defiant patch of green amid the sunburnt plains.
