From luxury accommodation right on the doorstep of gorgeous courses to in-park golf simulators, G’day Parks has plenty of great-value parks to suit golf fanatics of all skill levels, all year round.

Want to stay in the middle of a golf course?

Then, all you have to do is roll out of bed each morning for sweeping views over the championship 18-hole course. You can also enjoy a swimming pool, spa, tennis court, gym, half basketball court, and on-site restaurant open from breakfast to dinner. There's everything you need for a complete staycation at the resort, or you can venture out to explore Victor Harbor (after your golf rounds, of course).

Want to book a park with its own golf simulator?

Bonnie Doon Lakeside Leisure Resort has installed their very own golf simulator, which is already getting rave reviews from guests! It’s a dedicated space for adults (over 16-year-olds only), and costs $50 per hour to hire. Pre-booking is essential, so make it the next item you lock in after your spacious site or water-view accommodation. As the cherry on top, the park has a lakeside location and boat ramp, swimming pool, tennis court, activity room, pickleball courts, playground, basketball court, bouncing pillow, and mini golf.

How about a park with their own nine-hole golf course?

Collendina Caravan Park is another great spot to pair camping with golf. In addition to direct beach access, a swimming pool, games room, playground, pickleball and basketball courts, and a footy field, the park has an adjacent nine-hole golf course. Wake up to the ocean waves on your unpowered or powered site, then it’s only a short stroll to wide green spaces where you can get into the swing of things.
