Internal Clubs
Golf is a great way to exercise and socialise at the same time and the Darwin Golf Club encourages women to participate in the great game of golf. Age and skill level are no barrier, and beginners and social players without a handicap are encouraged to come along to learn and improve.
Northern Territory Senior Women Golfers’ Association
The Darwin Branch of the Northern Territory Senior Women Golfers’ Association (NTSWGA) hold a nine-hole social competition every Tuesday morning for women 50 years and over. Depending on the weather, the friendly competition attracts between twenty-five and forty-five players each week. Visitors from other Clubs are also most welcome. Play finishes with a cuppa and social chit chat.
There is currently a $10.00 joining fee and a competition fee of between $6 and $8 is charged per game. Green fees may also apply.
