Canberra’s Premier Golf Club - Federal Golf Club
The Federal Golf Club is situated in the geographic centre of Canberra and is one of Canberra’s premier golf venues, presenting one of Australia’s best inland golfing experiences.
Located in the prestigious suburb of Red Hill, the course is just two kilometres from the Parliamentary Triangle, moments from the historic Hyatt Hotel, Rex Hotel and the contemporary Hotel Realm Precinct.
The 18-hole championship course features pristine Santa Ana couch fairways and quality bent grass greens which are protected by well-placed bunkers. The course is set in beautiful bushland surrounds with grand views of the Brindabella Mountain Ranges making the Federal Golf Club a very special place.
The course has featured in the Golf Digest Top 100 Australian Courses and currently ranks 48th in Golf Australia’s best public access courses.
Members and non-members can view illustrated descriptions along with real time video fly overs of each hole when visiting the Club’s website, click here.
The Club has a proud professional golfing history having played host to several tournaments including the 1982 NSW PGA Championship won by Frank Nobilo, the 1987 U-Bix Classic won by Peter Senior, while Greg Norman played an exhibition round in 1979. In more recent times, Federal hosted the 2014 Interstate Championships.

The course also features the annual Federal Amateur Open Championship, a world amateur golf ranking event that continues to attract the country’s brightest amateur talents. In 2005, Jason Day finished runner up to Andrew Martin. In 2008, Victor Dubuisson also finished as a runner up to Matt Jager. An event for juniors accompanies the main tournament and attracts players of similar calibre, some of them barely into their teens.
When your golf is finished, the course is complemented by a welcoming clubhouse with a comprehensive range of hospitality services including a full lunch menu, bar snacks and suite of premium beverages.
Federal is considered Canberra’s best kept secret when considering wedding venue destinations with an events team to oversee all elements of private/VIP group bookings, corporate golf, private functions and business seminars.
When planning your social group’s next golfing trip, a round at the Federal Golf Club in Canberra is a must.
