Facilities
Tallong Park facilities are provided for the benefit of members of the association, their families and accompanied guests. Usually no booking is required to use them.
Golf Course
Tallong Park features an 18-tee 9-hole golf course in a delightful bushland setting. It has twelve par-3 holes and nine par-4 holes but most are quite short. However, the small greens make low scoring a challenge! It is ideal for improving your short game!
Every Thursday morning, we have a social game over 9 or 18-holes. We start at 10 am during the whole of the year. And on Monday afternoons, there is a 9-hole social game beginning at 2pm. A handicap system is used to award wine and golf ball or equivalent prizes , to the first three players.
When using the course the following document details your responsibilities: Tallong Course Care
Players of all abilities and handicaps are welcome!
Tennis and Basketball Courts
As a Member of the Tallong Park Association, you have access to an all-weather outdoor tennis court for night or day tennis throughout the year. There is also an all-weather basketball court for practice.
Swimming Pool
A solar (with gas back-up) heated, 11.25m indoor chlorinated swimming pool provides residents with an ideal recreation and training facility. The pool is open for about 9 months of the year but is closed for the winter months when heating bills become too high.
Access to the pool is by the swipe card. Swipe cards can be purchased from the Administration Assistant for $6.
Walking and Bridle Trails
Tallong Park Estate features about 18km of walking trails through the native forests as seen on the Estate map above:
Lakes

The larger lake has an area being developed with picnic tables and has been stocked with brown trout fish; fishing is only on a catch and release basis. Passive small boat activity is possible on the large lake.
