Australians are almost as passionate about golf as they are about football and cricket -- after all, Greg Norman started life as an Aussie! Queensland has the lion's share of the stunning resort courses, such as the Sheraton Mirage in Port Douglas, Laguna Quays Resort near the Whitsundays, and the Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove Resort on the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast has more than 40 courses. Joondaloop Country Club in Western Australia was voted Number One Resort Course in Australia by Golf Australia magazine for 2003. One of the world's best desert courses is at Alice Springs.
Most courses rent clubs for around A$30 (US$24). Greens fees start at around A$20 (US$16) for 18 holes but average A$65 (US$52) or more on a championship course. Koala Golf (tel. 1300/301 686; www.koalagolf.com) offers escorted day trips and package tours to excellent golf courses in major cities and holiday areas around Australia. It has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Cairns, and Queensland's Gold and Sunshine coasts.
