Situated right next door to Royal Sydney Golf Club, Woollahra Golf Club is a lot more casual than…read moreits neighbour. For one thing, you can actually get onto it! 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!

This is the course to go to to recover your confidence. It's reasonably priced, open to the public,…read morevery friendly, and has wide open fairways with few hazards and forgiving greens. Well established, the grass is lush in the rough and perfect for divot-taking on the main. From time to time the heavily-subscribed course does shut bits off to effect maintenance, but they do their best to offer a genuine 18-hole run if that's what you've paid for. Competitions are on for members during the week, so check tee-times before you rock up. The pro-shop, on the corner of Condamine Street and Kentwell Road, is well-stocked (though I curse that their great value range is not stocked in my size!!). The gentleman that runs it consistently friendly and welcoming; the fact that I am a member elsewhere yet he still remembers my name from my few visits is very telling.

There's a stretch of four golf courses running from Randwick, The Coast, St Michaels and finishing…read morewith the Daddy of them all NSWGC. Four courses back to back all right on the coast. I don't think you would find that anywhere else in the world, at least not within 30 minutes of the CBD of a major city. St Micks is a great course, theres a few blind tees which can be problematic and it of course suffers by comparison with NSW but it is well worth a try. Last time I played there we got held up by a group of Japanese playing in front of us who stopped to take photos of whales breaching just off the coast. In case the irony was lost on them I suggested they not eat them. Pretty easy to get on even though its a private club. Money fixes everything!

Tucked away along the coast this great club has something for everyone, and pain for us all…read more The clubrooms are nice, functional, and lunch is as with all such clubs of the pub grub variety, although with a little more flair and choice. Most of the gang had the curry which looked spectacular, I opted for a salad which was likewise good. The course has some fantastic views, including some whales cavorting offshore, and some of the holes are truly challenging. The greens - ah the greens! So deceptive! Look fast, play slow, look contoured, play straight! Must have been my game. Be prepared to lose a ball or two - very unforgiving rough, eats balls like a waste-master. Recommended.

The view was excellent and when the wind blew up the waitresses pulled the plastic blinds down …read more Even with the inclement weather it was still pleasant to sit there. However, the food was a disappointment. The two steaks we ordered was one to be medium and the other medium rare. The waitress had no idea which was which. We were confused too as the two steaks were very well done and nearly well done. The mussels dish was very salty and there were no mussels still attached to the shells. As for the coffee, it took two visits back to the till to remind them of our order. It was a popular place but I wouldn't go back unless I knew what few dishes they may do well. There is paid parking in the street.

I have never been challenged to get on but that is usually a weekday. New proshop is good and the food at the clubhouse always welcome with a coldie after a round. A bugger on a windy day - needed guy-ropes and pitons to play last time, was concerned I would get blown to Newcastle.... Will challenge the best golfer, let alone me!!

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...

The golf course is interesting and a challenge.The greens and fairways are well manicured and of very high quality. The Pro Shop has very friendly and supportive staff. The club members who play in the competition on Thursday are friendly,engaging and like a chat. The green fees are the best in Sydney for the social golfer. Play here you won't be disappointed. The bar has a unique ambiance that is great to have a quiet while watching TV or having a chat about the game.

Set on top of the hill at North Bondi, this small par 3 (there is one par 4) course is not the…read moregreatest of courses, but has some of the best views! Overlooking Bondi Beach and the Tasman Sea, this undulating course can prove tricky, especially if the wind picks up. Being a par 3 course, most attention is paid to the condition of the tee box and the greens, so they're generally in OK condition, but there's not much in the way of decent grass in between. If you're a serious golfer, then this probably isn't the course for you, but if you're a casual one-every-now-and-then type player, and fancy catching the breath-taking views, then give it a try.

I was keen to improve my swing and distance so we decided to practice for awhile. Having played golf before at numerous other golf clubs, I was quite impressed by their practice facilities. The venue seemed to be very popular with almost every practice station taken up by a member or guest. The golf course itself is absolutely stunning and is renowned as a Championships course. The golf club has plenty of facilities including a refreshments bar, carts and buggies and a pro shop. You can also hire golf equipment if you do not own any or require any additional items to win your round of golf! Golf tuition is available for those of us who wish to brush up on our skills and hopefully improve a bit! Overall, the course is beautiful maintained while the premises are well kept. The green is in good condition and the club has plenty of facilities including a restaurant and function rooms. Membership is available for individuals, family, corporate or on junior levels. The food at Macquarie Links is also pretty decent!
