Cohuna Golf Club Caravan Park – Premier Murray River Stay & Play Golf
Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of birdlife, with lush, manicured fairways right outside your door. At the Cohuna Golf Club, this idyllic scene is a reality for caravan and RV travellers. Offering a unique ‘stay and play’ experience, this destination seamlessly combines a passion for golf with the freedom of the open road. Located on the banks of the Gunbower Creek and a short drive from the Murray River, the club provides a serene and picturesque setting for a memorable stopover. It’s the perfect base for exploring the natural wonders of the region, including the magnificent Gunbower Island river red gum forests, while having one of Victoria’s most beautiful and challenging golf courses at your fingertips.
The club welcomes self-contained and other recreational vehicles, providing dedicated parking areas with access to power and water, ensuring a comfortable stay. Beyond the golf, guests can enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the clubhouse, which features a bar and bistro – the perfect spot for a post-round meal or a relaxing drink while watching the kangaroos that frequent the course at dusk. The course itself is a major drawcard, an 18-hole championship layout that winds through native bushland, offering a challenge for golfers of all skill levels. For non-golfers, the location is equally appealing. The adjacent Gunbower Creek is perfect for kayaking, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water. With the charming town of Cohuna just minutes away for supplies and local cafes, the Cohuna Golf Club offers more than just a place to park; it provides a complete recreational experience, blending top-tier golf with the tranquillity of a natural bush camp.
