This is Sydney's best course.... by miles. Think Dr Alistair McKenzie, the designer of Augusta,…read moreCypress Point, and Royal Mexico. (Doug Walters - "The rain in Spain falls mainly in Melbourne") Think couch, on sand, in perfect condition - year round. Dig a hole and theres a bunker. Think National Park, pristine bush and a course that was just lying in wait for Al to unearth it. Bent grass greens as good as ....anywhere. A pure links course - water on three sides or something like that. Who cares, it is just a stunning course in an amazing location. Imagine cresting the hill on the 5th and there's an 80 year old shipwreck on the rocks. Imagine having to cross a bridge over the Pacific Water Hazard to an island tee and hit a shot back onto Australia. It will nearly always eat your lunch the first few times. Rarely will the wind not factor - all par fives and threes face a different direction. The members are smug, nah - being honest that's just the voice of pure green envy, in fact they are super friendly and bloody good golfers on the whole (leave the pun alone - drop the weapon and slowly walk away from the pun!) Play it whenever you can, never turn down an invite or an opportunity. The most memorable golf course you will play in Australia.

This is a well deserved top Australian course. Beautiful…read morescenery, lovely club house with great menu and staff. The course is incredibly well maintained - honestly I have seen greens not as well kept as the fairways on this course. However it is punishing - to be a top course means to be a tough course and that it is. Take your medicine like a grown up...

Played 18 holes here and most of the holes are pretty well laid out and some are quite challenging. The prices are reasonable and overall a fabulous experience. Happily come here any day. The online booking system is fairly straightforward and easy to use. They also have a two level driving range here which was very busy.

The driving range is a necessary evil of golf. Those that scoff at trailing round a course…read morefollowing a repugnant little white ball should try this - the tedious repetition of hitting ball after ball into the ether, hoping against hope that the results will appear on your next score card. With three levels of tee-sites, Moore Park is the best centrally located driving range in Sydney. You buy balls by the bucket, which are then issued from a slot machine into a dodgy plastic bucket (be warned to have the bucket well in place before entering your pin code or you'll find yourself A-over-T in the midst of a gushing and unstoppable torrent the things). Correct-height rubber tees are a little scarce - each tee-site should really be equipped with them in several heights. Set yourself up and swing away. Good luck, I hope it works for you. If not, a number of very good golfers I know swear by the services of the various lady pro's at Moore Park - see the Pro-shop.

A predominantly flat course, it offers a decent round without being too challenging. The greens are generally in excellent condition, and with it being relatively open, loss of balls should be kept to a minimum (although there is the creek which feeds into the harbour which has stolen a couple of mine over the years). They have a number of members' competitions, so ring ahead to make sure that you can tee off if you're just planning to go for a casual round ($24 for 9 holes). Club hire is available, as are coaching sessions, starting from $50 for half an hour. You should be able to get round in around an hour and a half, so its a decent course for those who are time-budgeting. Just be careful of pedestrians on the course - it's a public throughway - as sometimes they forget that they're crossing a golf course and can become cannon fodder!
