Links Course Australia

Opened in 1928, New South Wales Golf Club sits on the Botany Bay headland at La Perouse, where the course meets the Pacific on firm, wind-touched ground. Alister MacKenzie’s design uses the site’s natural movement rather than force, with fairways edging cliffs, greens set close to the shoreline, and exposure that changes the course hour by hour. 

At 6,249 yards, it is not long by modern standards, yet the challenge lies in trajectory, positioning, and control when the breeze rises. Several holes play directly beside the ocean, giving the round a distinct rhythm and a constant sense of place. The club has hosted the Australian Open, adding championship weight to a layout prized as much for its setting as its design detail. Close to Sydney Airport, it offers rare immediacy: a genuine seaside test within minutes of the city. That combination makes it one of Sydney’s most distinctive golfing addresses today.
