The Sapphire Coast is home to some of the most picturesque golf courses,
race tracks and bowling clubs in the country, and you'll be spoilt for choice whether you choose lawn, turf or brasserie. Or for something a little different, how about planning a
scenic flight over our stunning national parks, jumping aboard a
trike tour through the countryside or
jumping out of a plane with unbeatable nature views? You'll be spoilt for choice on the Sapphire Coast, no matter which adventure you choose.
The Sapphire Coast offers a smorgasbord of golf courses, some internationally-acclaimed and each with its own unique style, there are five within one hour’s drive of Merimbula. You can share the 27-hole course at
Pambula-Merimbula Golf Club
with local wildlife or try to avoid hitting the centuries-old gum trees on the 18-hole course at
Bega. Other 18-hole courses in the area can be found at the coastal villages of
Eden,
Bermagui
and the glorious
Tura Beach. You can find a 12-hole course at Tathra Beach and nine-hole courses at Cobargo and Candelo.
Lovers of bowls will often tell you it’s not just the challenge and tactical skill required that gets them hooked, it’s the pleasure of spending time outdoors and the social interaction that keeps them coming back. With clubs up and down our coast offering a myriad of bowling experiences, the Sapphire Coast is a great place to indulge in this fabulous pastime. From companionable beachside greens at
Tathra
to world class covered rinks at
Merimbula, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. And don’t forget the relaxed, shoeless form of the game, barefoot bowling!
