It might be both, or even the overall golfing experience - fun golf in a picturesque setting. For some it might just be the culinary delights available from the halfway house that makes a course win its way into your heart. No matter what the reason, we’ve all got our list of favourite courses we love playing.

During the past three months, thousands of Golf Australia readers have cast their vote for their favourite three Australian courses. The top course selected by each voter was awarded five points, their second choice was given three points and the third, one point. We were swamped by your responses.

One lucky voter was drawn from the thousands and will be fitted out for a Callaway Big Bertha B21 equipment package worth $5,200. The winner is Therese Siebel, of Kareela, NSW, who selected 1. Bonville Golf Resort; 2. New South Wales GC; 3. The Coast GC.  Congratulations!

Now, here are Australia’s 50 Favourite Courses for 2020, as voted by you.
