A beautifully presented course. greens are true (although soft) – pick the line, hit and it will drop. Fairways generous and good condition. Water in play on a number of holes but really, it has to be a bad shot to go in the drink. Bunkers are consistent in condition. Generally a wide open course with not too much to trouble a straight player. The 11th is a cracker – par 3 over a ravine to a well shaped green. Visitor special price of $83 included single or share cart and free warm-up balls.

I have played this course few times now and my experience keeps getting better. Course is in excellent condition right now and the greens are slick and pure. I am most impressed by the layout as its forgiving off the tee for most of us but the greens are well protected and are very tricky. This combination makes this course challenging for all golfers. Some of the holes on back 9 requires course management and best to leave your driver in the bag such as 12th, 13th and 14th. Par 3 11th has just been voted one of Sydney’s top 18 holes and surely deserves it. My only complaint – some of the bunkers were not well kept and had too much sand in them.

An absolutely excellently presented and manicured golf course. A lot of other courses should take a leaf out of Macquarie Links’ book when it comes to course upkeep. Even after the massive amounts of rain/flooding, etc that South West Sydney, the course has held up superbly. Aside from the aesthetics, the course is well laid out and offers a challenge to all standards of golfers as there are varying tee beds on all holes. The 11th is truly a magnificent golf hole – perhaps the best Par 3 in Sydney?? All in all, this course is a pleasure to play on and I would urge anyone invited to accept the invite with open arms.

Play this course every now and then through a friend who works their and it is certainly a course kept in very good shape. Tees boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens are immaculate which makes for a very good golfing experience.

Front 9 is certainly easier than the back, however I still find the course challenging. The greens are smaller than average on most halls so your approaches have to be spot on.

It is an expensive course, but the fees have been dropped of late to allow more golfers to play on open days. I recommend you give it a shot.

PROS

• Course is in prestine condition
• Very good facilites; practice area, clubhouse
• Easily accessable from the M5

Cons

• Stereotype of the area
• Some experienced golfers may be disapointed with the challenge
• Expensive

Played there last week and found the course to be not quite what I expected.

The pro shop staff were friendly and attentive.

The front is quite weak for a course with all its raps, with the par 3 8th being the pick.

The back nine is much better with the Par 3 11th being one of the toughest i have played, hit a bad shot there and you will pay the consequence. The other hole I liked was the Par 5 17th, makes you think if you should go for it with your 2nd or lay up short of tthe ditch.

Overall a nice golf course but not worth the $79 we payed to play in the comp. For that price there are much better courses in Sydney you can play…

played here 3 weeks ago + enjoyrd the day very proffesional setup gated entry, bag drop off, freindly staff, use of range balls prior to hit off on a well presented practise area put you in a great frame of mind to start your game. The front nine reminds me off a typical resort style course winding along the large homes on the estate, not overly long and not very challenging however it is a different story on the back nine with the final 5 holes as tough a finish as you will get, the presentation of the course and the superb clubhouse tells you it is an elite establishment if you get the chance to play here take it. Oh also when you repair a divot the sand is green, it blew me away something as simple as that makes the course visually great

Sometimes you are lucky enough to play on a course where the whole experience lends itself to you playing good golf.

I was lucky enough to play here last week and straight from the start with balls piled up in a pyramid next to the mats at the practice range I coudl sense it was going to be a great day.

While the fairways looked brown and dry they played great and I'ms ure part of the couring is to give the course more of a links feel. Greens were of a very quick nature but played true.

There are some really nice golf holes out on the course too with variety being the key. Of course the par 3 11th is a standout and I imagine can be very daunting when the breeze is up. Another standout hole is the par 4 14th where it looks as if you can cut off more of the lake than you really can.

Really enjoyed the day here and nothing beats sitting on the verandah of the clubhouse after a round sipping a cold ale looking across the sun drenched course that you have just played on.

If you get a chance to play here jump at the chance and then hope to get invited back again!

Played here for the first time a few weeks ago. Was very impressed with the quality of the fairways and greens. The course reminds me somewhat of Terry Hills.

The par3, hole 11 sticks in my mind still. From the white tee, it is about 165m which is almost all carry across an angry looking ravine. The day we played, the wind was blustry and with a rescue club was able to make it across! Dramatic hole indeed.

Would love to play there again as it was most enjoyable.

I catch the train past this course almost every day and it has really turned green in the last couple of weeks with the rain on the long weekend. Walked the course for the NSW Open and the 2 words that cae to mind were long and hilly, not a preferred combination. Now that the dams are full this course should come along in leaps and bounds. Hope to play it in January.

Played here in a corporate event when the course was only 12 months old but could really see the potential in this course, off the back tees it is a great challenge and it is a great style of course, from the time we drove through the gates to the time we drove out it was a pleasurable day all round, if you like links golf this is a must.

For a young course I thought it was well presented and had some good challenging holes. I felt the highlight was the back nine, except for the crow on fourteen taking my ball from the fairway whilst I yelled futilely from the tee!

The links style works okay, although it may have been better served by trying to be more of a parkland-style course. The surrounding semi-urban environment seems at odds with the course design.

Nonetheless the course is challenging enough to engage the good golfer and I would happily return if invited.

I live at Macqaurie Links Estate but have never played the course. I get to sit here in the house and watch Golfer after Golfer play on this beautiful course. I wold join here if I had the money. It is rather expensive but opens up opportunities to play at a large number of world class courses right across the globe. (including Pinehurst!)

The course is always in wonderful condition and the ground staff are exceptional. You never see them even come close to interfering or holding up someones game while they water or mow a green or fairway.

The whole club atmosphere is very professional and elite as I have been in the club a few times.

I have to drool, but maybe one day will save up enough to join here.

Excellent new course with plenty of bunkering, wide fairways & few trees. These features allow a nice risk & reward design. Many of the holes have quite a few options & this in itself makes the course quite challenging.

9 & 18 are both great holes featuring water. The 11th is a stand out par 3.

I don't understand the previous 2 reviews as they both seem to be by the same guy (shinermick).

This is an excellent course to play if you can get a game there.

I don't like rating courses as I believe each course has it's own personality and therefore will appeal to different people in different way's but I had to comment after A.J's review.(what a @!#$* ! )

If you want to play a top notch golf course in South Western Sydney then Mac' Links is a must play destination.

Another course where the word Links is used to cover the fact that the designers could not be bothered to try something different. Throw in a few mounds & some pot bunkers & call it a traditional links course. A Links course at Ingleburn ? I don't think so.

Anyway, the course has some good holes. The 11th is a good par 3 & water comes into play at the 18th. The fairways are quite firm, giving up an extra 20m of run, but the greens are too soft. This makes good scoring easy.

Possibly will be reasonable course in 5-6 years.
