Three 18-hole courses sit within a quarter of an hour of the apartments, and each one plays differently: a short, tree-lined riverside course at [Kiama Downs](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/kiama-downs/), an open links course above the ocean at Gerringong, and a country course in the Jamberoo Valley. Course | Par | 18 holes (visitor) | Drive from Kiama Ridge Waters | Kiama Golf Club, Kiama Downs | 66 (men), 69 (women) | $45 weekdays, $50 weekends | About 9 minutes (8 km) | Gerringong Golf Club, between Gerringong and [Gerroa](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/gerroa/) | 72 | $45 Mon to Thu, $55 weekends | About 13 minutes (10 km) | Jamberoo Golf Club, Jamberoo | 67 | $22 to $30 (Destination Kiama listing) | About 14 minutes (11 km) | Prices are the clubs' own published visitor rates. Green fees change, so check before you go. ## Play Kiama Golf Club on the Minnamurra River Photo: Public Preservation, [CC0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Big_hill.jpg) Kiama Golf Club is the town's home course, at Kiama Downs between the [Minnamurra River](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/things-to-do/minnamurra-river/), Rangoon Island and the ocean. The club has been on this site since 1930, and golf in Kiama goes back to the early 1900s: the club's history page records the first 9-hole course on Chapman Point, behind Kendalls Beach. The course is 18 holes, par 66 for men and par 69 for women. It measures 4,949 m off the blue tees and 4,673 m off the reds, so it rewards accuracy more than length. Expect tree-lined fairways, views to the Illawarra escarpment and a run of par 3s on the back nine. The longest holes are the par 5 7th (498 m) and par 5 12th (510 m). Golf NSW describes it as one of the region's strongest all-weather courses, and it is open to visitors all year. ### Green fees and hire - 18 holes: $45 Monday to Friday, $50 weekends and public holidays - 9 holes: $32 weekdays, $36 weekends - Twilight from 3pm: $28 weekdays, $32 weekends - Juniors: $10, seven days - Cart hire for non-members: $47 for 18 holes on weekdays, $50 on weekends - Club hire: left- and right-handed sets and junior sets are available from the pro shop ### Book a tee time Tee times must be booked ahead, and you report to the pro shop before you tee off.

It is pure links-style golf with few trees, so the wind is a big part of your score. The ground is hilly, and the club has a large range of carts for hire. It is the longest of the three: 18 holes, par 72, at 5,638 m off the blue tees and 5,182 m off the reds. The club began with a 9-hole course in December 1981, opened the back nine in December 1989 and opened the full course in May 1993, much of it built by volunteers. ### Green fees and hire - Monday to Thursday: $45 for 18 holes, $35 for 9 holes - Weekends and mid-week school holidays: $55 for 18 holes, $40 for 9 holes - Twilight from 3pm: $35 - Juniors (17 and under): $20 - Carts: $40 for 9 holes, $50 for 18 holes - Hire: pull buggy $5, adult clubs $15, junior clubs $10 Book through the "Book a Round" page on the club's website or phone (02) 4234 3333.

The clubhouse is small and fully licensed, with beer, a limited wine list and simple food such as pies and sausage rolls, plus a covered outdoor area for a drink after your round. It is cashless, and you can't take your own alcohol onto the course. For a proper meal afterwards, head into the village: see [Gerringong cafes and restaurants](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/eat-and-drink/gerringong-cafes-and-restaurants/) and our [Gerringong guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/gerringong/). ### Gerringong Golf Club Gerringong 18-hole, par 72 links course at 14 Crooked River Road.

Destination Kiama lists it at 4,842 m and par 67: not long, but it asks for accuracy. You play with rural, bush and mountain views, and the club says about 96 bird species have been recorded on the course. Destination Kiama lists green fees from $22 to $30. Social golfers are welcome seven days, with bookings through the club's online system, and the club asks you to check the course status before you head out. Club competitions are only open to members and visitors from affiliated clubs. The club also runs footgolf, which mixes golf and soccer: you kick a football into oversized holes in as few kicks as possible. Games can start from 2pm, seven days, and bookings are essential on (02) 4236 0404. Destination Kiama lists footgolf from $12 to $18, and children under 15 must be with an adult. It is a good pick for a family or a group who don't all play golf.
