A Pro YouTuber Just Crowned His Favourite Course in Australia — Here's Why That Matters
Rising Sun Clubs — Used & Japanese golf clubs, professionally graded, shipped Australia-wide.
Luke Kwon has played courses all over the world — and his pick for favourite course in Australia says a lot about what makes Aussie golf special. Watch, then plan the trip.
When a former professional who films golf for a living calls somewhere his favourite course in a country as spoiled as Australia, it's worth paying attention. Luke Kwon's round is a love letter to Australian golf — the turf, the bounce, the design style that overseas players can't stop raving about. We won't spoil which course takes the crown; watch it earn the title:
Why Overseas Pros Keep Falling for Australian Golf
| What they notice | Why it changes the game |
|---|---|
| Firm, running turf | The ground game is alive here — run-ups, released drives, and creativity that soft parkland golf never asks for |
| Bunkering that actually threatens | Australian sand demands proper technique and proper wedge bounce — no splash-and-forget |
| Wind as a design feature | Flight control beats raw carry; a windy Aussie course exposes ballooning drivers instantly |
| Value | World-ranked golf here costs a fraction of equivalent US/UK tee times — the travel-golf secret is out |
Gearing Up for Firm-and-Fast Australian Golf
- Lower, controllable driver flight — firm fairways pay run generously; the loft/spin combo that suits soft conditions overseas isn't automatically right here. Our loft guide covers the trade-off.
- Lower-bounce wedges for summer lies — tight Australian turf rewards 4–8° of bounce; the wedge setup guide explains matching grind to ground.
- A club you can flight under wind — a driving iron, utility or strong hybrid earns its spot the moment the sea breeze arrives. Browse hybrids & utilities.
- Shaft honesty — wind punishes a too-soft shaft's ballooning and a too-stiff shaft's low fade equally; the flex chart settles it.
💡 The fun part: content like Kwon's is doing for Australian golf what Japanese course vlogs did for JDM gear — showing the world something locals always knew was special. Book the courses on your own list before the rest of YouTube does.
