About this course

Tura Beach Country Club sits along the Sapphire Coast of New South Wales, approximately six kilometers north of Merimbula. Designed by Michael Wolveridge and opened in the early 1970s, the course occupies gently rolling coastal terrain between the Pacific Ocean and the Princes Highway. The layout takes advantage of natural elevation changes and coastal vegetation, with several holes offering views across the surrounding landscape toward the Tasman Sea. The course plays as a traditional parkland design with tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers. Wolveridge routed the eighteen holes across varied topography, incorporating natural contours into the playing corridors and green complexes. The coastal location brings wind into play, particularly on the more exposed holes, adding a strategic element to club selection and shot placement. Native grasses and coastal scrub define many hole boundaries, while stands of eucalyptus and banksias provide both aesthetic character and tactical challenge. Tura Beach serves as a regional facility for the Sapphire Coast area, attracting both members and visitors traveling along the New South Wales south coast. The course operates as part of a broader country club that includes accommodation and dining facilities. Its location makes it a convenient stop for golfers exploring the coastal region between Sydney and Melbourne, and it functions as one of several courses serving the Bega Valley tourism corridor during the summer holiday season.

Getting there

The journey to Tura Beach Country Club begins at Merimbula Airport, a compact regional hub served by daily flights from Sydney and Melbourne, positioned just ten minutes north of the club gates. For those traveling overland, the Princes Highway traces the Sapphire Coast southward from Sydney - a leisurely six-hour drive that trades urban sprawl for eucalyptus-lined ridges and sudden glimpses of the Tasman Sea. The final approach peels off toward Tura Beach itself, where the road descends gently through coastal scrub and holiday villages before arriving at a layout that sits in quiet conversation with both hinterland and ocean, its fairways carved into the rolling terrain just back from the shoreline.
