tambo valley golf course

Tambo Valley Golf Course and its facilities
are situated 15kms north of the
Swifts Creek Township or around 29 kms
south of Omeo (take the Bindi turnoff
8 kms from Swifts Creek or about 22kms
from Omeo, its very well marked ).

The course is a demanding 9 holes, grass
greens layout, set in a mature pine plantation
nestled in a narrow valley with surrounding
native forest. Junction Creek
meanders through the course in a very
picturesque, undulating setting.

The course layout was established in 1969 on the
property now owned by the Club, the property
having previously been a dairy farm, which was
planted with a Pine Plantation in the early 60's.
The course design was attributed to local
life members, Mr Les Skelton and the late
Mr Bob Blackwood. It comprises
3 par threes, 3 par fours
and 3 par fives (par72) of 5420 metres in
total length (18) and currently has an
Australian Course Rating of 70.

Our Facilities include a small comfortable
clubhouse with a Licensed Bar / Kitchen.
These facilities have evolved from a
refurbished former farm cottage with
showers and toilets attached.

Many visitors camp informally in an area surrounding the Clubhouse and have attended every Tournament
since its inception in 1969.
The region has many other accommodation
options for those not wishing to camp.
(accommodation listing on omeoregion.com.au)
Tournaments are run in October and March.
Competitors number from 150 - 250 for the
4 days of each tournament.
During these times the camping ground
becomes the centre for conviviality
between regulars and newcomers who use
these occasions as their "holiday".

Competition days are Sunday (noon) ( 12.30 in daylight saving)
for men, Tuesday for Ladies (morning)
and there is a Wednesday (afternoon) 9 hole competition.

Visitors are welcome to play in events and join in social club activities.
