Why Book a Golf Break in Australia
Golf in Australia
With Australia’s seasons reversed compared to the UK, take the chance to get out of the gloomy winters and escape to the blissful sun. Even Australia’s winters do not reach very low temperatures, so golfing almost all year round is more than possible.
However, the spring and autumn would be the best time for golf, balancing the nice temperatures on top of a reduced chance of rainfall.
