About the course

Parkes Golf Club is on London Road in Parkes, in the Central West. The course is set among trees and gentle slopes, and was redesigned in 2023 with USGA-specification greens. Parkes Shire is also home to the Parkes Radio Telescope.

The course is a par 72 of 6,166 metres from the blue markers and 5,971 metres from the whites, with a slope rating of 127. The fairways are kikuyu and tree-lined, the tees TifTuf couch and the greens bent grass. Distance posts mark 200, 150 and 100 metres to the centre of the green, and the club's online course guide has flyovers of every hole.

3rd: the longest hole, a 511-metre par 5.
7th: a 432-metre par 4.
18th: a 466-metre par 5 to finish.
