A nice golf course, quite Easy. I don’t like the septic tank near the 9th hole. Layout was painfull and its hard to judge the distance. The fairways were quite dry

I played on Tuesday afternoon (2nd December 2008). Tee off was at 2pm so expected that the course woudl be undergoing maintenance. Got drenched at two holes with the sprinklers though! Pretty nice course with several undulations and beautiful views. Greens play true and fairways are generally in good condition. Course is more challenging than it looks with my playing partner and I losing 7 balls combined (usually we lose 1 or 2). Staff are friendlier at other places but the course well and truly makes up for it.

I play Wollongong on most occasions when I visit family and thoroughly enjoy my time spent admiring the views on and around the course. Each hole on the links layout is distinctly different, several with massive bunkers and all with some of the smoothest and truest greens ive played. Fairways are kikuyu, and consistantly green although extra distance markers would help the visiting player. Some tee boxes are new, but several might benefit from some manicuring. I really enjoy the new holes near the club house and cant wait for the tinkering to continue to the rest, to get Wollongong up as a absolutely top rated golf course.

Wollongong golf club is quite a nice place to spend a Sunday. They have made a very good decision to allow more social golf on the weekend. This we like (NO HUSBAND AND WIFE COMP TO FOLLOW) This course is VERY stinky down South, Why do they allow a stinky toilet treatment centre near a place like this? why can’t they build it deep in the port next to the huge steel making factory? building it so close to the town and to a pretty seaside links. what a sorry waste of public space and resources!

Agree with Mitlee, without distance marker, it becomes trial and error for visitors and advantage to members and regulars. Better courses will add even more clues eg colour of the flag to indicate if the pin is in front, middle or back. See New Brighton as an example. Overall a good course.

Great value for competition only $15 and you get $5 worth of bar vouchers.

Nice beachside course.

Best conditions if you tee off at 7am.any earlier and there is too much mist and fog.Any later and you cop a stiff breeze which can make the longer holes rather difficult.

Some nice holes,good design,flattish but with a few elevated tees and the 5th is a massive uphill shot for your second onto the green.

Does get a bit of a bad smell on holes 7,8,9,10 and 11 because of the steel works.

17th is a monster, 217 metre par 3.

Overall its a good course and it will be great with the new clubhouse.

I enjoy playing at Wollongong. The course is in fairly good condition and there are some interesting holes. The course has a very nice location right on the beach - but unfortunatly next to the sewerage works and industry area. The large clubhouse is expected to be finished soon and will make the course an more enjoyable place to play.

Went to play the course on a weekend, it is not so crowded and staff in proshop is very friendly. Green and fairway are all right, but it is pretty hard to justify distance as there is no marking of distance to green beside the tee, making it harder for beginners like us.

Some holes in the back 9 is a bit stinky, there are long Par 3s that I think is preety challenging.

Most of my playing partners said they will not go back. It is not that bad, but others are better.
