About the course
Lightning Ridge Golf Club is at 23 Crystal Road in Lightning Ridge, the opal mining town in outback New South Wales. Locals call the course the Golfie, and the Lightning Ridge tourism association lists it among the town's sport and recreation options.
The layout can be played as nine or 18 holes. The fairways are scrubby outback ground, and the greens are sand greens, known locally as browns, rather than grass.
Par, course length, playing days and green fees are not published online, and the club has no website of its own. Phone the club on (02) 6829 0006 to check playing times and fees before going.
For a second outback round, the Club in the Scrub on the Grawin opal fields, about 70 kilometres west of Lightning Ridge, has a nine-hole dirt course alongside its bar and meals.
