Federal Golf Club
Federal Golf Club serves championship Canberra golf with a side of Brindabella views and the occasional kangaroo gallery. The 18-hole, par-72 course rolls through Red Hill bushland, where sweeping elevation changes, strategic bunkers and quick bent-grass greens reward imagination but send loose approaches on an unscheduled tour. Visiting golfers can book social play during available times, with nine or 18-hole walking and cart options. A driving range, practice facilities, golf shop, coaching, restaurant and broad membership program round out one of the capital's signature golf experiences, minutes from Parliament House.

Rolling bushland routing with sharp, well‑placed bunkering and fast bent‑grass putting surfaces that reward a precise short game; Santa Ana couch fairways frame sweeping Brindabella views, though limited irrigation can leave hollows firm; clubhouse service lifts the day.
