Would be up there with the best courses in Sydney. Played here last week and the course was in perfect condition. Rained heavy at the beginning of the round but course drained very well. Great Chinese meal in the clubhouse post-round also makes the drive out to Cumberland CC well worth it.

ONLY downside for me was the lady in the pro shop. She refused to accept that we had made a discount booking (which we had) and ended up charging us the full amount. She then made a fuss over our polo shirts on the way out which was uncalled for and left a bit of a sour taste in our mouths prior to teeing off.

Despite this setback (which has only ever happened once – usually the staff are excellent), I would still highly recommend a game here.

Played here last week. Found the course in good condition. Wasn’t a really hard course. 1st hole a bit daunting with the green almost swallowed by bunkers but after that a pretty straight forward course. I found it a bit expensive for the type of course it is. Would rate along side Richmond, Ashlar or Fox Hills.

PROS

  • Basic sort of course

Cons

  • Greens VERY SLOW with dew on them and sped up dramatically when they dried

Played in the comp on 16th April and found the course to be back to its best. Greens could have been a bit faster, got good lies in the fairway and rough

Well worth a game there….now

Not as long as the other private courses around but at 5976m Par 72 from the blue plates it is not too bad of a course. Condition of its fairways was far below par for a well-established course, with many dirt patches received on fairway lies. But the greens and teebeds were superb with beautiful speed on the greens at the moment.

Longest holes are quite boring with 5 par 5s all similiar length that asks the same questions - longest is 511m 4th. The 5 par 3s were all different, but the ones on the back nine were much easier than front nines.

My favourite holes were 191m 3rd over a large gully to an elevated green. Also 173m 5th with water on right is a nervous shot to a well-bunkered green. The course has a very quaint feel to it, with not many holes in view other than your own. The clubhouse is not too overdone, and its practice facilities are quite inviting.

Played here 10/1/07 and paid $37 green fees weekdays or $40 on weekends. For 9 holes its $24. Open comps are on Wed and Sundays. May only play again if in a comp.

Played here for the first time and really enjoyed the course. The layout was interesting with good variation - had a nice amount of fairway and greenside bunkers with some holes also with water coming into play. Really good par 3's that were quite long with one measuring over 190m.

Wasn't a hard course and one should be able to shoot their handicap without too much problem.

Course was in a reasonable condition although the summer drought has taken its toll on the fairways with some bare and dried out patches.

Would give it another go sometime.

Very nice cours but tough greens worth the round.

A lowly, tree lined west Sydney course. Not overly long to par, but still a challenge.

A few dams come into play, especially on the par 5's which are quite good. The par 4's offer a variety in length from the shot 285m 1st to the 392m 14th.

Many of the drives on the 4's & 5's are over hills, so the drive zone is blind. This shouldn't cause too much trouble for first timers as long as you are careful.

The course is always in reasonable condition & is quite well bunkered, placing a premium on accuracy on you approach shots.
