The Christmas Island Golf Course is Australia's northernmost golf course. Situated 2600 kilometres north north west of Perth, Western Australia. Christmas Island is one of Australia’s jewels in the Indian Ocean. The course is set atop a volcanic sea mount pushed up many millions of years ago. Enjoying a tropical climate, golf is an ideal pastime on this small Australian outpost. Originally established in 1955, the Christmas Island Golf Course has a history that defies its relative obscurity. Where else is there a local rule regarding land crabs taking your golf ball?

This idyllic 9-hole course, nestled among whispering palm trees, offers stunning vistas of the vast Indian Ocean—a serene backdrop for both seasoned professionals and enthusiastic beginners. With green fees set at a modest $15 per round and clubs available for hire at the Christmas Island Visitor Centre, the course extends a warm invitation to all who wish to partake in this beloved island pastime. Here, the unique wildlife, including the nesting Christmas Island Frigate Birds and the playful land crabs, add an exotic twist to your game, making each round an adventure in its own right.

Join the welcoming community at the heart of island golfing through weekly events like Ladies Golf on Wednesday afternoons, Men’s Scroungers on Fridays, or the competitive spirit of the weekend tournaments. The pinnacle of this golfing calendar is the Annual Christmas Island Golf Open, set for May 17 to May 19, 2024. This prestigious event transforms the game into a celebration of sport, nature, and camaraderie, offering a distinctive experience on one of Australia’s most secluded greens. As you navigate the course, the island's iconic red crabs may playfully obstruct your path, and the friendly banter with locals enriches the atmosphere, creating memories that extend far beyond the fairways.
