The Christmas Island golf course is Australia's northern most golf course. Situated 2600 kilometers north north west of Perth, Western Australia, Christmas Island is one of Australia’s jewels in the Indian Ocean.
The course is set atop a volcanic plateau pushed up many thousands of years ago. Enjoying a tropical climate, golf is an ideal pastime on this small Australian outpost. Originally established in 1955, the Christmas Island Golf Course has a history that defies its relative obscurity. Where else is there a local rule regarding land crabs taking your golf ball?
