Yowani
Yowani Country Club: Located 4 km north of Canberra's centre, Yowani provides not just a pleasant parkland golf outing but also comfortable accommodation in an onsite motel. Laid out on relatively flat terrain, the course presents a challenging variety of well-maintained, predominantly tree-lined holes.
Small moguls flank some of the fairways, although it is the tree-line that make things feel relatively tight on several holes. Unnervingly tight might describe the tee-shots at the par-4 14th and returning par-4 15th, which has threatening cross bunkers straddling the fairway.
Both nine-hole loops start with relatively tight, straight par-5s, which head out parallel to each other, separated by a single line of trees. On many occasions, if you miss the correct fairway, there is probably an adjoining one to bail out onto. A good mix of straight and doglegging holes lead you to the often small, circular and not overly elevated greens. A bit of traffic noise can drift in from passing Barton Highway, but nothing that's too distracting.
Noise of a more natural variety may well be encountered at the very good par-3 16th and testing par-4 17th, both of which bring a small lake into play. On an island in the middle of the lake, a sometimes cacophonous bird colony resides.
Note: parts of the course being significantly redeveloped in 2023/24.
Visitors welcome on weekdays (visitors welcome to join the Club's open competitions) and weekends (usually after 3:00pm).
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spikes preferred. Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available for hire.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
