The Nullarbor Links Golf Course is an 18 hole course spread over 1,365 kilometres with one hole in each participating town or roadhouse along the Eyre Highway. Some holes are set up specifically for the course, others are a nominated hole at an established golf course.
Hole 3 of the Nullarbor Links Golf Course (or hole 16 in reverse) is at Penong. It is a 260m Par 4 in open grass plain. The tee is found behind the Windmill Museum near the Penong Caravan Park, complete with a mini windmill sitting beside it, a contrast to the Big Windmill nearby.
The hole is named after the high number of windmills used in the Penong area, the main source of water coming from underground basins. The Big Windmill and Windmill Museum 
sits prominently next to the fairway, including Australia’s Biggest Windmill, a Comet Windmill with a larger fan than the normally very large 35′ fan.
The Tee is devoted to Pioneer Drive, in recognition of the pioneers who took up land in the Penong district in the 1890s. The pioneer family names are recognised in the names of the streets and in Pioneer Park. The early pioneers arrived to harsh virgin scrub. Making do with nothing in the hard life in the early days, they used local stone to construct their homes.
Penong is believed to mean “Rock Hole” but it could have been derived from a corruption of an Aboriginal word for “tea tree”, poomong.
