Australia Golf Estates

The wonderfully mild Australian climate allows golf to be played throughout the year and there are plenty of opportunities to tee-off on a highly rated golf course for those planning a golf trip to Australia. Indeed few countries in the world compete with the golfing opportunities offered in Australia golf estates.

Many Australia golf estates around the country offer luxury accommodation and facilities that include the opportunity to play on international standard golf courses that rival the world's best. These Australia golf estates are built in outstanding natural locations that range from hillside courses overlooking golden beaches to fairways winding beside rivers and through beautiful bushland.

Australia golf estates have contours and intricacies related to the Australian terrain and in some places you may encounter grazing kangaroos or you may be distracted by the singing birds, have to circumnavigate a wombat's hole or keep an eye out for any croc coming out of the water hazard.

Australia golf estates now count for an average four percent of all new housing; some 25,000 blocks built or master planed since 1999, and with another 40 to 50 courses currently proposed an estimated 30,000 more homes will be created, reports The Golf Course Guide-2008.

Residential Australia golf estates are certainly no longer a novelty. When The Golf Course Guide last reviewed Australia's golf estates in its 2003 edition, it observed that what started at Tura Beach in NSW in the 1970s had boomed on Queensland's Gold Coast throughout the 90s but was as yet in its infancy with only a handful of new developments on the Victorian and Western Australian coastlines. There are now well over 100 golf courses with Australia golf estates residential developments, and many more in various stages of development.

Buyers of Australia golf estates should do their research, looking to communities where all lots have some view of the course, and should also scrutinise the management.
